Why Contractors Ask for Gator Base Screws by Name
A paver field is only as good as its perimeter. Without a fastened edge the outer courses creep, the joints open and the whole patio starts to spread. These are the screws Alliance specifies for that job.
- Required on every Gator Base install. Alliance treats it as a component of the system, not an accessory.
- Works with all Gator Edge types β Rigid, Flex, Mini and Tile.
- Reinforces the outside perimeter and creates strong lateral support.
- Locks all components into one β edge, base panel and pavers acting together.
- Fit before or after paving. Either sequence works.
Gator Base Screws Specifications
| Pack size | 50 screws per package, 20 packages per box |
| Type | 1/8 in LD hollow anchor |
| Compatible with | All Gator Edge types: Rigid, Flex, Mini and Tile |
| Usage rate | One screw at every second hole, plus every edge junction |
| Required for | All Gator Base installations |
Alliance specifies one screw at every second hole in the edge, plus one at every junction. Count your perimeter linear footage against your edging's hole spacing, and add a pack β running short at the last corner is a genuinely annoying way to end a day.

Where Gator Base Screws Should NOT Be Used (Straight From the Manufacturer)
No restrictions are published beyond the intended use, which is fastening Gator Edge to Gator Base.
Alliance does not publish the screw length, diameter or material. If you need those figures for a specification, call or text us and we will get them from Alliance directly rather than guess.
Not sure if your project qualifies? Call or text us at (856) 418-4895 before you order. We will give you a straight answer, even if the answer is that this is not the right product for your job.
How to Install Gator Base Screws
The full step by step guide is in the official documentation below. Here is the shape of the job:
- Fit them before or after paving. Alliance allows either sequence.
- Set the Gator Edge firmly against the paving units, with the Gator Base extending 6 in wider than the paved area on all sides.
- Screw at every second hole, and at every junction between lengths of edging, for continuous lateral support.
