FAQs
Can I use this edging on curved borders?
Yes, the individual stone units are designed to sit side-by-side, allowing you to follow gentle curves or straight lines throughout the garden.
Does this stone need to be sealed?
Sealing is optional. It may help with cleaning and color retention, but it is not required for the stone to perform its primary function.
Can I install this on a slope?
Yes, but you will need to step the edging units incrementally to follow the incline of the ground while keeping each individual piece level.
Is the stone heavy?
As a natural stone product, it is dense and heavy, so ensure you handle units with care and use proper lifting techniques during installation.
How do I cut the stone if needed?
If you need to resize a stone for an end-cap or tight corner, use a diamond-tipped masonry blade with an angle grinder, wearing appropriate eye and respiratory protection.
Troubleshooting
Edging appears uneven or tilted
Lift the affected section, add more compacted sand to the foundation, and reposition to ensure the base is level.
Grass growing over the edging
Install a heavy-duty landscape fabric beneath the edging during setup to prevent root encroachment, or use an edger tool to trim back lawn growth.
Color mismatch between pieces
This is a characteristic of natural stone; try blending or alternating pieces from different pallets during installation to create a balanced aesthetic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Planning: Layout your desired path or bed edge using string lines or spray paint to ensure smooth curves and straight lines.
- Excavation: Dig a trench deep enough to bury the lower section of the edging, ensuring stability and preventing the unit from tipping.
- Bedding: Lay a base of compacted sharp sand or lean-mix concrete into the trench to create a level, firm foundation.
- Placement: Set the stones into the trench, checking for alignment with a spirit level to ensure a consistent height.
- Backfilling: Once the units are secure, backfill the soil or mulch against both sides of the stone and compact it firmly.
For ongoing care, clear debris from the scalloped edges periodically to maintain the decorative look. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove moss or dirt buildup, and avoid using heavy-duty power washers directly on the stone to preserve the natural surface finish.
