A hand tool for tracing the course of a line of pavers at a distance selectively spaced therefrom, so as to facilitate the construction of uniform borders along a walkway, path, or the like, consists of a tracking head for running the tool along the installed line of pavers, a marking head for remotely replicating the course, a beam on which the heads are mounted, and a handle. The positions of the marking head and handle are longitudinally adjustable on the beam, relative to the tracking head.
