How to cover gaps in driveway edge

Hi All,

 

Happy New Year! Quick question. I did some work setting pavers at the front of the house and i noticed there are unsightly gaps in the edges of my driveway and front. What can I do to cover those gaps and give it a smooth finish? Doesn't need to be pretty, just need it to be even. Attached a couple of photos. Sides are 2.4m by 2m. Thanks in advance!

Hi  @anyhowcanone 

 

 

I would use the same paver and cut it with an angle grinder to the matching hole size and cement it in using the cement to level it flush

Thanks for the quick response, Jewelleryrescue.

 

Just general purpose cement, will do?

Hi @anyhowcanone 

 

Yes GP  will rock it in.

 

I would use the Cement to fill the side grout  grooves to save an extra process/step it my crack into the future but  paver  wont move.

 

Enjoy

Hi @anyhowcanone,

 

It's great to see that @Jewelleryrescue has provided excellent advice! Using the same paver material to fill the gaps will ensure a seamless and durable finish. Cutting the pavers to size with an angle grinder and securing them with general-purpose cement is a practical and straightforward solution. Filling the grout grooves with cement as suggested is also a great way to simplify the process and create a cleaner look.

 

When cutting pavers with an angle grinder, ensure you wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety goggles, hearing protection, a dust mask, gloves, and sturdy footwear. Angle grinders can produce dust and debris, so it’s important to protect yourself and work in a well-ventilated area. 

 

Please let us know if you have any questions.
