Abstract: A paving system includes a base layer; a sand layer of coarse angular sand above the base layer: a tile layer of porcelain tiles above the sand layer; and a metal edge restraint staked down along an edge of the paved surface. The base layer may include a reinforcement grid. A tile edging apparatus includes an elongated tile edge restraint strip having a longitudinal axis extending between a first end and a second end and a vertical axis extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and between an upper end and a lower end: a fixation projection extending out from a first lateral side of the edge restraint strip, the fixation projection including an aperture extending generally vertically therethrough; and a tile support projection extending out from a second lateral side of the edge restraint strip opposite the first lateral side, the tile support projection including a tile support surface.
