Prevent it. Require drawings (and 3D, if the scope warrants), samples/mockups for pavers and edging, and a flagged field layout before excavation. Build with checkpoints: layout approval, base inspection, first course of pavers, planting bed mockup. If something misses the mark, halt and issue a written change order. Your leverage is highest before final acceptance—use it.
