The soldier course for your block paving Somerton:

You may have read definitions of soldier courses on this site already. However, there are different definitions of this brick laying technique and here is another one that pertains to the borders of your block paving surface:

“A line of bricks that are pointed in some way in the same direction may be regarded as a soldier course. Their orientation is immaterial as long as their orientation is uniform.” Bricks of any cut or style can be used as a soldier course. There are numerous ways in which they can be employed on the borders of a paved area. They can be laid as creatively or artistically as the professionals and the owner of the block paving surface desires. The only rules that apply when laying the edging are based on functional and structural considerations. These rules must be adhered to. However, for the purposes of our argument, it is very seldom that they will impinge on the aesthetic or visual considerations in any way.

A soldier course can be laid in direct contrast somehow to the bricks that it borders. For example, it may be laid so that it runs perpendicular to the paving surface that will be laid afterwards. However, it may also be laid at a diagonal to the course of brickwork which it borders. It may be laid so that it matches the block paving surface to achieve uniformity. A soldier course can blend in with a subtlety to the brickwork it surrounds, or it can be made to stand out so that the effect is more striking. It can be juxtaposed so that the area it encompasses is the focal point.

The eye can be drawn to the block paving surface, the edging or both. The use of a very different style of brick for the soldier course is a great way to produce great visual touches in your block paving surface.
