• Large, flat and accessible areas that are an easy demolition.
• Materials used are all the same size and color.
• Few cuts will be required, and pavers are restrained by existing structures like walls or the sidewalk.

• Poor accessibility where demolition has to be carried out by hand, and all pavers brought in by hand.
• Hard demolition like concrete with rebar, and no room available for heavy machines.
• Different sizes of stones and colors with lots of cutting.
• The need for new restraints and steps installation.

The outer edges of pavers will move or settle over time unless there is a good strategy for keeping them in place. Invisible support structures can be used and covered with soil or lawn. Anchor pavers can be used at the edges in some cases. A more expensive but effective choice is pouring a concrete strip. Each choice will add a different level of cost to the project in terms of materials and labor.
