Just out of curiosity. I have just aquired a plot that doesn't allowed permanent concrete fixings, so going to mould my own pavers. Taking it from an idea I had allready in my own garden. I dug a 18" wide trench by approximately 4 inches deep and then filled it with concrete dyed with a buff coloured cement dye. Smoothed it to a semi-rough finsh and then using a t-shaped marking bar made with 1/2 inch round bar I then marked a brick effect in the cement just before it was starting to go off. The best way is to get your bar made with a 8 inch bar on one end and a smaller 4 inch bar on the other. The path just looks like real brick set in and any vistor's  into the garden have always been bluffed by it until I tell them how it is done.

but that is still using concrete fixings so as a newbie surely you ought to follow the rules of the site rather than stiring up potential trouble. Look around your site to see what others are doing.
Staffies are softer than you think.

Technically they are just pavers still the same dimensions as ordinary 2x2's or whatever size suits and can still be lifted with ease as they are just layed loose,  just more decorative than normal slabs.
