Why Do Edging and Paver Borders Matter?
Paving edging (also called paver restraints or border edging) is a structural frame that holds your pavers in place and ensures that everything stays aligned even after years. Here are some of the reasons why you should get paver edging and borders.
- They give definition to the edge of the patios, walkways and other hardscaping elements
- It prevents pavers from shifting, spreading and sagging.
- It protects the perimeter from erosion and water damage.
- Supports long-term durability and maintains clean lines.
When Should You Add or Replace Paver Edging?
We have often seen homeowners not having proper edging for their pavers. Even if they do, the edging can wear off over time. If you want to enhance or retain the look of your pavers, then you should seriously consider installing or replacing your paver edging.
You should consider paver border installation if you experience the following:
- You are starting a new paver project
- Your existing edging is cracked, loose and missing
- Pavers are spreading or shifting
- You are upgrading the design
- You are looking to improve the drainage
