How to Install Brick Edging for Pathways

Commercial brick edging creates a stable edge for brick pathways — different from lawn edging, which only contains plants.

Materials

• Commercial brick edging and spikes
• Crushed rock and sand
• Bricks

Installation Steps

1. Create base. Excavate 4–10 inches deep. Lay several inches of rock, then a couple inches of sand.

2. Install edging. Anchor edging atop sand.

Stone can also create raised beds — learn how here.

3. Lay bricks. Position first row against edging.

4. Finish. Nail outer edging as you lay final brick row.
