Special brick ?
 

I'm edging a paved area by using smooth red engineering bricks on edge.

As well as defining the edge of the area, they also make a neat
hard-wearing step and will get a fair amount of abuse.

The corner is also a step ( you can walk down on either of two adjacent
sides ).

Is it possible to get special corner bricks rather than cutting bricks
to make mitred joints ?

I don't really like the look of running one edge up to the other and
then simply running the other one to overlap, but am concerned that
mitring will be tricky to get right and will make the corner weaker and
therefore prone to being damaged.

Yes. Best to go to one of the specialist brick shops that have sprung up in
places but if not a good builders merchant should have a catalogue.
