Troubleshooting

Edging appears uneven after installation

Check that the mortar bed was consistent and the base material was adequately compacted. Minor adjustments may be possible with careful re-setting, but significant unevenness may require re-installation.

Discoloration or staining on the surface

Identify the source of the stain (e.g., organic matter, oil). Clean immediately with a mild detergent and water. For persistent stains, consult specific cleaning guides for granite-effect paving.

Edging shifts or becomes loose over time

This usually indicates insufficient foundation preparation or bedding. Ensure the base is stable and the edging is properly set in mortar. Re-installation with proper techniques may be necessary.

Difficulty in cutting the edging to size

Use appropriate diamond-tipped cutting tools designed for stone or concrete. Always wear safety goggles and follow safe cutting practices. Ensure the piece is securely supported before cutting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare the Base: Excavate a trench along the desired edge. A compacted layer of MOT Type 1 hardcore, approximately 150mm deep, is recommended for a stable foundation.
  2. Position the Edging: Place the Marshalls Drivesett Argent Edging into the trench, ensuring it is level with or slightly proud of the adjacent paving.
  3. Mortar Bedding: For optimal stability, the edging should be set on a solid mortar bed (typically 4:1 sand to cement ratio).
  4. Backfilling: Carefully backfill the trench behind the edging with soil or suitable aggregate, compacting as you go.

Compatibility:

This edging is designed to complement a wide range of Marshalls paving products and other driveway/patio materials. It is particularly well-suited for use with block paving, flag paving, and resin-bound surfaces where a defined edge is required. The 'Light' color offers a contrasting or complementary tone depending on the primary paving material used.

Care:

  • Regularly sweep away debris to prevent staining.
  • For stubborn dirt or moss, use a stiff brush with water. A mild detergent can be used for tougher stains, but always rinse thoroughly.
  • Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or pressure washers at extremely high pressure, as this could damage the textured surface.
