Paver edge restraint system and method

A paver edge restraint system for securing a paver in an elevated position adjacent a wall and with respect to a surface beneath the paver, the paver supported upon the surface by at least one pedestal disposed a distance from the wall, the paver edge restraint system comprising:

• a support bracket configured to be mounted to a side of the wall, the support bracket having an elongated horizontal surface extending from the wall and positioned to support an edge of the paver adjacent the wall;
• a restraining bracket;
• and
• at least one fastener positioned to mount the restraining bracket to an underside of the paver;
• wherein a portion of the support bracket is positioned to extend over a portion of the restraining bracket to restrict vertical movement of the restraining bracket and the paver thereon.

A method of securing a paver in elevated position with respect to an underlying surface and an adjacent wall, the method comprising:

• orienting a support bracket in a substantially horizontal orientation against the side of the wall at an elevation above the underlying surface;
• mounting the support bracket to the side of the wall in the substantially horizontal orientation and at the elevation;
• mounting a restraining bracket to an underside of the paver;
• positioning a first edge of the paver on a pedestal located a distance from the wall;
• positioning a second edge of the paver on a portion of the support bracket extending away from the wall;
• supporting the first edge of the paver upon the pedestal;
• supporting the second edge of the paver upon the portion of the support bracket so that the paver is elevated over the surface;
• restricting upward movement of the restraining bracket with the support bracket;
• and
• restricting upward movement of the paver by restricting upward movement of the restraining bracket.
