FAQs

What is the primary purpose of Keykerb Edging?

The primary purpose is to create distinct visual separation for outdoor areas, act as edge restraints for paving, and prevent root or grass growth along borders.

Is the charcoal colour prone to fading?

The charcoal colour is designed for outdoor durability. However, like all coloured materials exposed to sunlight, some natural weathering may occur over time.

Can I use this edging for curves?

While designed for straight runs and angles, the Keykerb Edging can be adapted for gentle curves by ensuring the ground preparation allows for slight adjustments. For tighter curves, alternative edging solutions might be more suitable.

What type of base is recommended for installation?

A solid, well-compacted base of sharp sand or a concrete mortar mix is recommended to ensure the stability and longevity of the installation.

How do I clean the charcoal edging?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish.

Is this product suitable for commercial use?

Yes, it is suitable for both residential and commercial applications, including landscaping, pathways, and general garden definition.

What does 'KL HB External Angle' mean?

'KL' refers to Keykerb, 'HB' indicates it's a Heavy Duty product, and 'External Angle' specifies its design for use on the outside corners of structures or paths.

Troubleshooting

Edging appears uneven after installation.

Check the base preparation for uniformity and ensure the edging is set into a stable, compacted layer. Re-level if necessary by adjusting the base material.

Grass or roots are still encroaching.

Verify that the edging is installed to sufficient depth and that the base is secure. Ensure no gaps exist where roots can penetrate.

Edging seems unstable or is moving.

The base may not have been adequately prepared or compacted. Remove soil around the affected section, reinforce the base with compacted sand or mortar, and re-secure the edging.
