Just had a paver walk installed and the end of it has an elevation of 6" from the grass edge 18" away.

I live in Maryland. I was thinking about the possibility of gradual erosion due to rain coming off the edge of the paver walkway.

Thanks for your help.

    There's very little context in that photo. The critical bit that's missing is the amount of water that's expected to flow over that area. A photo of the entire drainage basin would be appropriate, as well as some in formation about your climate. However, "should I be concerned" simply doesn't fit our Q&A format to begin with. Please revise to ask something that can be answered more objectively. – isherwood Aug 11 '17 at 18:08
  • I agree with isherwood I am always concerned about erosion but would it be a problem here we don't know. – Ed Beal Aug 11 '17 at 19:18

If the pavers were installed properly--and it looks like they were--the edge banding should be staked into the ground much deeper than 6". So, structurally, I think there is nothing to worry about.

Now, aesthetically, it does seem a little wonky. But we can't see the larger picture here.

That said, if you are worried about a bit of erosion over time, I'd suggest removing the mulch up to the pavers and plant grass there. The grass will help stop any erosion over that small of a slope.
