Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- 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.
- Position the Edging: Place the Marshalls Drivesett Argent Edging into the trench, ensuring it is level with or slightly proud of the adjacent paving.
- Mortar Bedding: For optimal stability, the edging should be set on a solid mortar bed (typically 4:1 sand to cement ratio).
- 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.
