About paver edging & restraints
Paver edging and edge restraint, plus the spikes and nails that hold it down. Edge restraint is the least visible part of a paver installation and the one that decides whether the field stays tight in five years. Without it the outer courses migrate outward, joints open, and sand washes out of the gaps.

Types of Restraint
| Type | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Rigid plastic | Straight runs, standard patios | Cheapest and most common. Cut to length on site |
| Flexible plastic | Curves and radii | Scored so it bends without kinking |
| Low profile | Natural stone, thin pavers | Sits lower so it stays hidden under thin material |
| Cementitious edge | Overlay, permeable and open graded bases | For installs where spikes have nothing to bite into |
| Permeable edging | Permeable paver systems | Lets water through instead of damming it |
Spikes Matter as Much as the Edging
The restraint is only as good as what holds it. Spike length and spacing should match your base and soil. Short spikes in soft ground pull out under frost heave, which is exactly when the edge is under most load. Galvanized spikes cost slightly more and do not rust away.
- Follow the manufacturer spacing, do not stretch it to save spikes
- Longer spikes for sandy or soft soil
- Cementitious edge compound where spikes cannot grip
- Install restraint before the joints are sanded
