paving with edge restraints
These edge restraints represent an achievement in paving technology. Where previously many paver installers formed edges of cement, often on top of yet more cement, meaning a far greater labor and materials expense, these handy plastic items serve the same purpose in a tenth of the time. When 10″-12″ spikes are used as the securing mechanisms, the edge restraint shown here can be applied in minutes upon satisfactorily laying a paver edge. Indeed, owing to some very bizarre asymmetries in design any more, the edge restraints are often put in “prior” to the laying of the pavers.
This is so a perfect edge can be scribed and then cut for a maximum conformity, leaving a perfect congruent line of edging. After all, when all is said and done, this product will be invisibly doing its work: retaining the entire paving edge in a durable and permanent way. Thus, plastic is a perfect product, not only because of its lightness the ease of transport and cutting, but also because it will never break down like metals or cement will.
Plastic and aluminum paver edge restraints represent the latest in restraint technology’ Faster, easy to install, they allow a contractor to leave in a timely manner without the headache of worrying about the after effects of dealing with cement.
