Edge Restraint  Install edge restraints according to project specifications, and the indications of the restraint producer. This will help reduce horizontal creeping, and the loss sand or gravel at the edges of the installation. Edge restraints should be tall enough to contain setting bed materials and pavers, but not higher than the installation.
