7. Making convex curves To make convex curves with a radius of at least 2’ (600 mm), use the complete set of modules from which the back overhanging ends have been removed with a hammer and chisel. For curves with a radius less than 2’ (600 mm), use the 6 7/8 ” (175 mm) and/or 10 7/16 ” (265 mm) modules if need be, from which the overhanging ends have been removed in advance.

8. Backfilling After every two rows, fill the space behind the modules with 3/4 in (20 mm) clear stone. Protect the clear stone with a membrane from possible contamination by the retained soil. Repeat these steps up to the desired height.
