Edge Right ads starting showing up in my Facebook feed, which was timely considering I had recently completed a stone patio project and was finding that the polymeric sand was falling out of the exposed open joints at the edge of my patio. I used 6” Edge Right along the edge of these Vermont strata grey pavers. Initially I used a 10lb splitting maul with a wooden block, but found that unseated the pavers and started to bend the Edge Right, so I then used a 2 lb dead blow hammer with a synthetic rubber covering and found that did a nice job driving the edging without causing any damage. But it was a tough shoulder workout for sure. The edging was installed through a 3/4” ‘plant mix’ gravel material, which also had landscape fabric about 4” below the patio surface. I found that taking the edging and sawing it back and forth to start with would get the first inch or so into the gravel, and then hammering in the rest of the way. I had to cut several pieces with a 4” grinder and that worked well. I installed a few of the coupling pieces between edging panels, but ended up liking the look better when these were not installed, because with the stone butted up to the edging the joint pieces actually pushed the edging out of alignment a little bit when installed.
Customer Story
Cor-Ten edge reinforces Vermont strata grey patio
Nick used 6 inch Hammer-In Cor-Ten edging along the perimeter of his Vermont strata grey stone patio to stop polymeric sand from spilling out of exposed joints. Installed through 3/4 inch plant mix over landscape fabric, he switched to a 2 lb dead blow hammer, started each section with a sawing motion, cut pieces with a 4 inch grinder, and skipped some connector clips for tighter alignment against the stone.
