Troubleshooting

Edging blocks are uneven after installation.

Ensure the base layer is level before placing the blocks. Adjust the blocks and use a level during installation.

Blocks are shifting or moving over time.

Ensure the blocks are securely set in mortar or concrete. Check the base for proper compaction and add additional support if needed.
