Why You Need Paver Edging
Define the space
One of the biggest benefits of a paver edge is the clear boundary it will create between your lawn and garden, or your garden and gravel. It will prevent these areas from getting mixed up, and make maintenance easier. Pavers such as the ones here at WI withstand even extreme weather, which will allow you to keep the same boundary for years.
Enhance garden aesthetics
A beautiful garden edge can provide the perfect finishing touch to your garden. You can choose from various shapes and colors to match your style, and to add texture and color contrast to the overall effect. A paver edge can help your garden feel more formal, or like a courtyard, instead of a sprawling or haphazard backyard garden.
Prevent migration
As mentioned above, a paver edge is one of the best ways to prevent the areas of your yard from migrating into each other. They can prevent grass from creeping into your garden, or be a barrier that prevents dirt, mulch, or rocks in your garden from getting into the grass.
Paver Edging Options from Western Interlock
Roma Stone
If you’re looking for a stone that will give off an old-world, cobblestone feel, our Roma Stone is the way to go. It is timeless and organic—which makes installation easy.
Chateau Wall
Our Chateau Wall paver is another old-world style stone, but with more of a tumbled, imperfect finish. It will easily hide installation inaccuracies if you’re DIY-ing, and the large, long stones are perfect to go deep into the ground in long stretches.
Holland Stone
For a rectangular paver edge that is classic and versatile, try our Holland Stone. Or, opt for the thinner option in our Holland Slimline. This paver will look good and work well in any situation.
Villa Stone
For a brick style paver that can bring a modern or classic aesthetic, check out our Villa Stone. Since it goes almost 4” into the dirt, it comes in as the most stable option. The Villa Stone is also 17.5” long, and will cover a lot of length fast.
How to Choose the Right Paver Edging
Consider space and aesthetics
As you choose the best paver edge for your garden, you should consider what the space needs. Is it a large or small garden? Does it have lots of curves, or straight edges? What other types of landscape material have you used? What is the style of your property? Make sure you take these things into consideration as you make your choice.
Use our Paver Finder
Secondly, try using our Paver Finder. This tool asks you for your project type, the intensity of traffic expected on the paver, and your preferred paver style and colors. It will then give you recommended options to make selection easy.
