3po3 on Feb 25, 2012I think the best way to make a straight line is to pull a string line taut between two stakes. Then dig a nice trench along that line. For the circle, I would measure out your circle and stake it out, then use a garden hose to "draw" the line. Either way, you will then dig a trench about an inch wider and 1.5 inches deeper than your pavers. Lay in landscape fabric, then add two inches of sand. Smooth and compact the sand, then lay in your pavers so the edges are slightly higher than your soil level. Brush more sand over the top and backfill the gap with soil. Hope that makes sense. Good luck with the project.Helpful Reply

KMS Woodworks on Feb 26, 2012The use of a polymeric sand as your last filler will help hold it all together. Polymeric sand "sets up" a bit when exposed to moisture.Helpful Reply
