Create an edge for your stone walkway

A stone walkway should not only be postatic but also for safety, especially if there are children or elderly people in the house. But sometimes some designs are lost by existing herbs and flowers. This is why it is necessary to make an edge for the stone walkway. There are several border options to choose from, including the use of metal, plastics and bricks. Installing it is very easy, but it is always better to hire a specialist.

At South Atlantic Masonry and Concrete Contractor located in Peachtree City, Atlanta, Newnan, Sharpsburg, and Senoia, we want to give the steps to create an edge for your stone walkway:

You must first measure the length of the stone walkway to calculate the amount of material you will need, this will also help you estimate the amount of gravel and sand you will place in the trench to level the edge.

Then create an edge trench by digging a trench next to the existing stone walkway. Your trench must be deep enough. If the stone walkway is not straight, follow the curves to dig your trench. It should not be too wide or too narrow. The channel must be just enough to support the bricks to be installed and the cushioning materials to fit. If you find a drain pipe, you can extend the trench at that specific point where the pipe is located to direct the drained water away from the bricks with edges.


When the trench is ready, level the base with the base by placing sand along the trench and make sure the base is the same. Start laying bricks on the side of the trench closest to the edge of the existing stone walkway. Place one brick on top of another. Continue laying more bricks until the bricks are slightly higher (one to two inches) than the stone walkway.
