@@ez6315 If my memory serves me well, I got 2 bags of Quikrete Fence and Post fast setting about $8.50 bag of 30kg, 26 stone at $2 each, No dig Edger Vigoro at Home Depot for $38 for 60feet, because the shorter one was out-of-stock. To estimate the number of stone needed, you need to do a little math, take the radius of the circle, i.e. the center point to where you want the circle is, so circumference=2 x pi where pi can be 3.14 , measure the stone length, take circumference/stone-lenght you have approx amount of stone needed, I add extra one just for security. I also got extra long landscaping nails, I think I bought 10 about 0.90 each I think. Anyhow, thanks to @maxpatch67, stone edger can never be so easy and fun to do.

Just to let you know, this video is still having an impact. I live in northern Illinois and just today installed a ring. (I mean, I finished like an hour ago!) Great results. I followed all of your directions, including using cardboard as a weed barrier. I've lived in this house for nearly 18 years and from the day I moved in wanted to do something with the sloppy area under the frontyard tree, but never knew just what to do. I came across your video about three weeks ago and thought, THAT'S what I want to do. I'm knocked out by the finished look. Thanks for the tips!

I've been watching many videos, and a few showed how to get a perfect circle by tying a loose rope around the tree trunk down low and deciding on your circumference. Get a can of spray paint and hold the rope end and walk around the tree while spraying the paint to mark the area. You'll get a perfect circle.

Excellent video tutorial, definitely going to try it out, but I had one concern. If I didn't want the black rubber ring and I attach it to the ground in reverse, to remove after the concrete cures, wouldn't that leave a visible concrete ring above the grass, the same height as the black rubber ring, that the pavers sit on?
@maxpatch67
6 ай бұрын
Yes, if you don't have the black plastic edge there, then the cement edge would be there. Cement does dull pretty quickly over time so it would not stand out at all over time. It works quite well to make it this way when attaching the plastic edge to the ground in reverse to make it removable. To make this easier, use the plastic spikes that come in bags and cut them in half with some pruning snippers. This makes them easily removable with pulling up your plastic edge from the ground.

Yes. What I would do if I were you is to just buy some topsoil that you can rake out to level fill in and level out your area. When you pound your stakes in, don't beat them into that soft dirt so the plastic edge stays level where you want it. After dumping in your concrete and adding the water, your effort will pay off and it will set up level like you wanted. Let me know if I can help you any more.

This might be a simple or dumb question but are you just cutting the edging once you get the length you want? I noticed it is a 60ft kit you bought so just checkig

Yup, you got it right. Make it the size you want by cutting it. Where the two ends connect is a little tricky to line it up right so the curve looks like the rest of tree ring. I use two nails in a row on each end to get this secrured right to perfect the curved line. Let me know if I can help any more.

I want to do this around trees in a yard that has a slope. Do you think anything needs to be altered?
@maxpatch67

Nope. Go for it. It should be perfect on a slope. When you level off the concrete with the plastic edge, just level it so it matches the slope of the ground and it will look and work great. Thanks for the question!

Thinking about doing this project this weekend and doing the edging in reverse so I can pull it up after. Do you have a link for the 8 inch galvanized spikes at home depot?

You have a great idea and I have done this recently. There might be a bag of plastic spikes that come with your plastic edging that you can use for this reverse/removable method. To make it even easier, use some strong scissors or clippers and snip these plastic spikes in half. Also, you can buy bags of these spikes. The neat thing about this method is that you can reuse a shorter piece of plastic edging over and over and also resuse the spikes to it can save you money. You know what? I just looked at the Home Depot website and they only have the 8" ones in bulk/box, so I'm going to post a link here for the cheaper plastic ones for you that you should use after you snip them in half: www.homedepot.com/p/ProFlex-8-in-Nylon-Spiral-Landscape-Anchoring-Spikes-24-Per-Pack-1989N-24C/205966606 I hope this helps, @robstone5010.

So, I've never done this before and moved into a house that desperately needs this on several trees. How do I make sure I'm getting the correct amount of blocks? And how do I make sure when doing the circle that all blocks will fit without a gap? Please and thank you 💞
@maxpatch67

Mandy, figure that for each foot of border, you need one block and then just add them up. Just get 3 or 4 extra because its no fun being short and not able to get the work done. That gap is a challenge so you can take care of that by customizing how the last few fit in there by leaving little gaps in them to finish right or you can use a hammer, masonry chisel, and hand and eye protection and just hammer away at one block to make it fit in perfectly at the end with all the spaces tight together. Its not real difficult and kind of fun to hammer away at a cement block...you choose, but use eye and hand protection. I hope this helps.

Thanks for your advice! Appreciate you are taking the time to show us with so much detail. I have a question, I’m new into landscaping/gardening. I have a small tree in the middle of a 6ftby6ft area, mostly is surrounded by grass, I’m planning on doing something like this, smaller of course, but should I get rid off the grass and weeds around the tree, prep the ground with fabric and then toss the mulch on top or will it be ok just to cover whatever grass and weeds with mulch? I’m just worried the grass/weeds will start to come up through the mulch bed? Again thank you!

No. Only build this border if you are sure of what you want for a very long time. It's considered permanent. You would have to use a sledgehammer to bust it up.

Is there any reasons to leave the plastic edging in place after the concrete has dried? Seems the concrete and pavers would provide enough stability and weed barrier on their own.

I recently tried the plastic edging in reverse and making it removable and it works perfect. You may want to try it this way. Just wait a few hours or so for the cecment to cure up and then pull out the border and stakes(they can be cut in half so they aren't so long). Thanks for the question and have a great day!!

Great Tutorial ! Question, can the paver ring be build with out the plastic black ring?
@maxpatch67
8 ай бұрын
Yes!! Sort of!! You can make the plastic edge easily removable right after the cement cures. You can attach it to the ground in reverse so you can remove the spikes easily. Also, you don't need to buy the strong metal ones and you can just use the wimpy plastic ones that come in a bag with the edging. You might want to buy an extra bag of plastic ones. What I have done is cut the plastic spikes in half(I use hand garden clippers) so its easy to pound them in and pull them out also. Just wait a day or so until the cement has cured before pulling out the spikes and border. It needs to be mild air, like in the 50's for the cement to cure properly, so right now might not be the right time to make this border. If you make it in summer, the cement cures within a couple hours so the curing goes real fast. Let me know if you need any more help.

The plastic edge creates the form for the concrete mix to sit in. Without it, the concrete is formless. Let me know if I can help you anymore, ok? Have a great day! ...wait, by 'edger' do you mean the whole borer? If that's what you are asking, this border solves a lot of problems for people that something like rocks offer that includes permanence, neatness, and great weed control.

The current price of this border is around $5.50-$6.00 oer foot....it seems like a lot compared to just buying one of the products by itself, but when you combine these products and creat this border considering the finished look and the long lasting nature of it, I think its a great value.

You have two options for the odd sized gap. One is to adjust the border size so it fit perfectly and the other is to customize one block to the right size by chiseling it down or just hammering it down to size...use eye protection.

It would change the nature of this border quite a bit. The height provides a scupltural element to your landscaping as well as keepin weeds from easily growing over the top....and you'd be digging into the ground to get the cement and blocks lower so it would no longer be a no-dig border technique. So you can,, but its a lot more work and it really changes the qualities of the border in looks and function.
