Edger Design Option 1

3. Using a post hole digger or hand trowel is recommended. Position blocks centered

and end-to-end in the trench by creating a hole 4 inches wide x 3 inches deep x

6 inches long every 12 inches to bury tail into base. Using a rubber mallet, tamp

the edger ﬁrmly into place. Use a level to ensure edger units are uniformly level.

Continue to place the units until the desired length of the project is reached.

4. Split block as needed to ﬁt desired length of edging.

5. Finish project by ﬁrmly packing excavated material along sides of the edger units.

Edger Design Option 2

3. Position a block textured face up, then place a block textured face down, both

centered in trench. Using a rubber mallet, tamp the edgers ﬁrmly into place.

Use a level to ensure edger units are uniformly level. Continue repeating this

pattern to complete project.

4. Split block as needed to ﬁt desired length of edging.

5. Finish project by ﬁrmly packing excavated material along sides of the edger units.

Edger Design Option 3

3. Split each block to create a wedge piece (see page 19).

4. Position the long piece of block textured face up, then place the tail piece next

to it, textured surface up. Using a rubber mallet, tamp the edgers ﬁrmly into

place. Use a level to ensure edger units are uniformly level. Repeat pattern to

complete project.

5. Finish project by ﬁrmly packing excavated material along sides of the edger units.

Edging Estimating and Installation

Basic Installation Prep for All Design Options

Excavation

1. Excavation – Begin by laying out the project using stakes and string line or a garden

hose (great for curves). Dig a trench 6 inches wide x 4 inches deep (3 inches deep

for Option 3).

Helpful tip – Use 1 cubic feet of base material for every 25 feet of edging.

Leveling pad

2. Leveling pad – Level bottom of the trench. Place 1-inch of base material in the bottom

of the trench and ﬁrmly compact.
