FAQs
What tools are needed for installation?
You will need a measuring tape, spirit level, trowel, shovel, rubber mallet, and a concrete mixer or container for mixing mortar.
Can the edging be cut to fit curves?
Yes, concrete edging can be cut using a masonry saw or angle grinder with a suitable blade. Take care to ensure safety.
How do I calculate how much edging I need?
Measure the total length of the area you wish to edge, and then divide by the length of each edging piece. Add a small percentage for cuts and wastage.
What type of mortar should I use?
Use a concrete mix or a bedding mortar suitable for outdoor use. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for mixing and application.
How long does it take for the mortar to set?
The setting time depends on the type of mortar and weather conditions. Typically, it takes 24-48 hours for the mortar to fully set. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
How do I maintain the color of the edging?
Regularly clean the edging with water and mild detergent. Consider using a concrete sealant to protect the color and prevent staining.
