I have a 15×20 synthetic grass area and I want to put something "soft" around the edges for the kid. My plan is to use rubber paver:
Like the 16×16 from Lowe's:
The questions I have are:
-
How to secure / bolt each of the paver down so they don't move? They are quite light and people kicking around will push them. Plus, one edge is the synthetic grass which is very soft by itself.
-
Should I put the rubber paver on the crushed rocks minus (1/2" or 5/8" as same as what underneath synthetic grass)? Or this kind of rubber paver should be on top of hard surface like concrete or another paver (either concrete or stone)?
Thanks.
UPDATE 1
I just installed the synthetic grasses and they look like this
It is very low to the rocks. Here is the top down. I nail the edges of the grasses by 10" nails so they won't move.

I see that they are not very thick (one inch), but perhaps they are still heavy enough (5.4 lbs each). If you dig the dirt out, so that the top of the paver is level with the soil, then the paver should be held in place by the edge of the soil. Sand between them will help keep them from moving. There are also paver edge retstraints that you can buy/use:
