Wire Brick Edging Installation Procedure



	Excavation and Site Preparation: Locate all underground utilities and make sure they will not interfere with the edging installation. Excavate excess soils and unstable sub base, prepare and compact the base materials as recommended by your brick manufacturer, ICPI standards or the architect’s specifications. Do not use aggregate whose largest size exceeds ¾”. Make sure there are no elevation differences greater that ⅜”and extend the recommended compacted base at least 6” past the paver line. Install Wire Brick Edging Install Better Bilt Wire Brick Edging on the compacted aggregate base, (not on the screeded sand) either before or after the installation of the pavers, stake, apply sand layer and pavers, backfill areas next to the wire brick edging, and tamp backfill prior to vibration compaction of the pavers. If using filter cloth (recommended) place about 12” of filter fabric on the compacted base under where the pavers will rest prior to placing the sand layer and fold fabric over the wire brick edging and simultaneously stake Wire Brick Edging and fabric to compacted base, apply sand layer and pavers, sweep fine sand into joints, backfill areas next to the wire brick edging, and tamp backfill prior to vibration compaction of the pavers. If a project requires that next to the pavers a loose rock or bark area is specified, place 12” of filter fabric on the compacted base under where the pavers will rest, put down sand and pavers, remove excess sand then fold the fabric over the wire brick edging and butt the wire brick edging against the pavers and then stake the fabric and wire brick edging simultaneously with tough as nails to create a sand barrier to prevent sand from migrating. (Depending on traffic loads, use our “Tough as Nails” spikes or our heavy- duty border edging spikes to anchor the edging in 12”, 18”, or 24” intervals. Once the final compaction cycle has been completed on the pavers, the edging should not be visible after backfilling. Compact pavers as required in project specifications or refer to the ICPI standards.
