BRICK PAVER WORK MADE EASIER WITH BRIC-EDG™!

Safer and easier to work with than steel, aluminum or soft plastic edgings.

The unique design of our Bric-Edg™ edging stops the pavers from moving horizontally and allows grass or plants to grow right next to the brick/pavers.

By placing the edging under the brick you give it more strength as a combined unit. Then as the weight of the brick pushes down on the horizontal leg, the vertical leg is pulled tighter against the outside edge of the brick paver. Since our design uses the brick and edging as a combined unit there is no problem with frost heaving or ground movement. The edging is staked down, the brick is on top of the edging and the outside edge is becked up with compacted soil, rock or turf. The entire system will rise and fall together throughout cold or warm seasonal ground movements.

No sharp edges
Sturdy rigid black vinyl
Flexible or rigid sections
