Back to the TopDoes Pavestone make 90-degree corners in Edgestone?
Pavestone doesn't have 90-degree corners for the Edgestone. If you need to make a 90-degree corner it can easily be made with a 3 in. masonry chisel and a hand sledgehammer. Just score the Edgestone on all 4 sides with the chisel and sledgehammer. Then put the chisel on the score mark and hit it a few more times and it should split. Once it is split in two pieces, you can place one of the split pieces on either the left or the right side of the other split piece to form the 90-degree corner. Cuts can also be done with a guillotine splitter but for more precision cuts a circular saw with a masonry blade is recommended. Caution: Always wear protective eye-gear when splitting stones.

Can Edgestone be laid right on top of the ground?
It is recommended that you dig a trench and install your Edgestone at a minimum of 1 in. in the ground and most applications 2 in. to 3 in. in the ground for the best use of the product. Edgestone can be buried in the ground almost level with the yard so that you can ride your lawnmower wheel on top of it and use it as a mow-strip.
Back to the TopHow high can I go with the Estate Edge product?
Estate Edge is designed to be stacked only three layers above the ground, which would be approximately 11 in. Along with that it is also required that one additional layer be totally buried in the ground which would make a total of four (4) layers.
Back to the TopHow small a tree ring can I do with the Estate Edge?

It will take approximately 18 pieces to build the 4 ft. diameter tree ring and 1 additional piece for every layer below that, up to 4 layers.

Back to the TopCan I stack the Roamin' Edge to do a raised flowerbed?
