FAQs
Can I use this edging for curved pathways?
The scalloped profile is designed for subtle curves, but for very tight radii, you may need to adjust the bedding or spacing.
Is this product suitable for driveway use?
This product is primarily decorative and intended for garden borders; it is not designed to support the weight of heavy vehicles.
Do I need to seal the stones?
Sealing is optional but can help prevent staining and moss growth, depending on your local climate and level of exposure.
Are the dimensions uniform?
The stones are manufactured to consistent specifications, though slight variations can occur as it is a natural product.
How do I cut these to fit specific lengths?
You can use a diamond-tipped masonry blade on a circular saw to cut the stone if a shorter piece is required at the end of a run.
Troubleshooting
Edging appears uneven after installation
Check the stability of the foundation and re-level the mortar or sand bed beneath the affected stones.
Visible gaps between stones
Ensure stones are pushed firmly against one another during placement; use fine sand or pointing mortar to fill small gaps for a seamless finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions:
- Prepare a shallow trench along the desired border line.
- Add a layer of compacted sand or a weak mortar mix to the base to ensure stability.
- Place each stone unit into the trench, ensuring the scalloped edges are aligned consistently.
- Check the level along the run to ensure a uniform height.
- Backfill with soil or extra mortar once the edging is secured.
Care and Maintenance:
To maintain the appearance of the natural stone, periodically rinse with water to remove mud or debris. Avoid using high-pressure power washers directly on the stone, as this may erode the surface finish or loosen the bedding material.
