I use a purpose-made plastic edge. I buy it at my local drywall/masonry supply place. I would go to one of these places. Find it in the yellow pages under "Masonry Equipment & Supplies". They will have all the pavers and edging, etc. for you. If you use brick-shaped pavers then get one of those brick carrying tools. You can pick up and easily carry about 7 bricks at a time. I like the plastic edge. You can use it on curves or straight runs. You put it on after laying bricks, before sanding and compacting over the top of the bricks. It stops grass from growing in from edge and stops the pavers from spreading. weight of car pushes down on pavers and makes them want to spread out unless you have a nice spiked edge.
remove ALL organic matial and top soil from under the area. Poor draining soil, use deeper bed and more gravel (sharp gravel not river rounded). Compact, compact compact. Keep special mind of not having low dip spots, as puddles will form.
