How To Do Paver Borders?

[cabinetman]

I will be laying about 450 sq ft of pavers that I already have (from a previous patio). The design of these are such that no matter which direction they are laid, there is no smooth edge for a border. Any suggestions for what might look good?

You could go for the natural look and just let the grass fill in the notches.
Cast some pieces in colored concrete for the notches.
Cut some of the pavers in half for edging.
Ceder 4x4s cut to match the edge.

If you shudder at the thought of splitting enough for the border, you could form the perimeter and pour concrete. Or fill the gap with gravel.

I have seen border blocks for that patter in the stores before, so if you're willing to buy some, that might be the nicest looking option. It looks like you already have enough color variation that even if the border is a bit different, it would still look good.

You mean something like this?

You could also cut the points off flush, use the cut-offs to fill in the scallops, and then border with straight pavers or bricks.

I will definitely have to post pics now. I had square edges on my pavers but
my wife's design called for a curved border. Except for a 10 foot run, the
remaining 130 feet had to be individually cut to match the curves. I got real
friendly with the wet saw this past summer.

I would cut them. Scoring with a diamond blade in an angle grinder or circular saw would work, then use a hammer/cold chisel to snap them.

The Menards here sells both left- and right-handed edgers in that pattern. They look like one lobe is cut off in the long direction, but they're just made that way.
