About this item

  • No spikes, no strip, no heave. The edge is a continuous polymer modified compound troweled directly against the paver and base, so there is no fastener to work loose over a freeze and thaw cycle.
  • 3D micro-fiber mesh reinforcement. The fiber network gives the cured edge tensile strength, which is what keeps a thin haunch from cracking off when a mower wheel or truck tire rides over it.
  • It disappears. A troweled edge sits below grade and gets covered by soil, mulch, or sod. Nothing shows at the perimeter, which matters on high end natural stone and porcelain work.
  • Works on the installs plastic edging cannot. Overlay, permeable, open graded, and Gator Base systems all give spikes very little to bite into. A cementitious edge bonds to whatever is there.
  • Rated for vehicular. Alliance approves it for both pedestrian and vehicular applications, including driveways.
  • One bag, one bucket, one trowel. No cutting, no connectors, no 60 spikes per pallet to keep in the truck.

Why Gator XTreme Edge?

A Poured Structural Edge That Will Not Rot, Rust, Or Pop Out Of The Ground

Plastic paver edging is the single most common warranty callback in residential hardscaping. Spikes heave, the strip lifts, and the outside course walks. XTreme Edge removes the failure point entirely.

Description

A Poured Structural Edge That Will Not Rot, Rust, Or Pop Out Of The Ground

Gator XTreme Edge is a 3D reinforced micro-fiber mesh and polymer modified structural edge that you mix with water and trowel in place. Instead of nailing a plastic strip to the perimeter and hoping the spikes hold, you build a continuous cementitious haunch that locks the outside course of pavers for the life of the patio. One 50 lb bag covers roughly 15 linear feet on traditional and open graded installs, or about 12 linear feet over Gator Base.

Where Gator XTreme Edge Works

XTreme Edge is the answer any time the perimeter has to hold but you do not want hardware in the ground.

  • Patio and walkway perimeters where the edge meets soil, mulch, or lawn
  • Driveway edges that see regular vehicle loads
  • Overlay projects where pavers sit over existing concrete and spikes have nothing to grab
  • Permeable and open graded systems with clear stone bedding
  • Gator Base installations, using the 12 linear foot per bag figure
  • Curved and radius edges, where rigid plastic strip is a fight
  • Natural stone and wet cast borders where visible plastic would ruin the look
  • Porcelain paver perimeters on pedestal or bedded systems

Where Gator XTreme Edge Should NOT Be Used (Straight From the Manufacturer)

Do not apply over frozen ground or into standing water in the trench.

Do not thin the mix past 1/2 gallon per bag to make it easier to trowel. Extra water is the fastest way to a weak, crumbly edge.

Do not sand the joints or run the final compaction pass before the 90 minute mark has passed.

This is a structural edge, not a jointing product. It does not go in the paver joints, only against the outside face and base.
