Product Construction
Patented Metal Design
BraceNBlock™ Edge is a high quality edging product made out of galvanized metal wire mesh coated with vinyl which resists the wear and tear of nature. The product can be used as landscape edging, raised bed edging, liner pond edging, root block edging, or silt fence (erosion control edging).

When BraceNBlock™ Edge 12" Metal Raised Bed Edging is used to build elevated garden beds, the product braces the soil to maintain the elevated plants and their roots in a desired area; eliminates plant root, tree root, and weed penetration into the desired area; and allows water permeability so water can drain properly out of the garden bed. This results in healthier and more vigorous plants.

BraceNBlock™ Edge has many unique features giving it multiple benefits over the competition. The product braces soil and water; blocks plant roots, tree roots, and weeds from entering tended areas; and maintains its beauty year after year. The product's patented, double sided, mesh design allows it to adhere to and grab the surrounding soil and allows plant roots to grab it keeping it securely in place. It will remain symmetrically vertical in the ground when properly installed without support stakes and you get no frost heave.

BraceNBlock™ Edge uses a root blocking fabric that allows water, air, oxygen, nutrients, chemicals, and fertilizers to pass through millions of tiny holes while blocking plant and tree roots and conserving soil moisture. Other edging products do not address this major concern.

BraceNBlock™ Edge is a long lasting, strong, and durable product that has been field tested since 1988.

Root Blocking Fabric
One of the core components of the  BraceNBlock™ Edge patented design incorporates a root blocking technology consisting of a root blocking fabric that is permeable to water, air, oxygen, nutrients, chemicals, and fertilizers through millions of tiny holes while blocking plant and tree roots and weeds. Some of the benefits of using this technology in  BraceNBlock™ Edge is that it blocks the horizontal growth of plant and tree roots and weeds from growing into garden beds when placed at the bed edge while allowing excellent drainage. It also blocks tree roots from entering garden beds when placed 12" below the ground around the perimeter of the garden bed. This patented advancement creates a huge barrier to entry for other garden products and literally creates a new category of edging products.

Product Accessories
BraceNBlock™ Edge has several accessory products for splicing and finishing purposes. The Splice Connectors, 90° Right Angle Connectors, and End Connectors serve as complementary products to the existing edging products and extends the product line up. The following connectors are built out of heavy gauge, electro-galvanized metal and fit the metal edging products:

BraceNBlock™ Edge Splice Connector 10" & 16" (used for 6" & 12" edging products)
  • Used for splicing together the two ends of the landscape edging.
    BraceNBlock™ Edge 90° Right Angle Connector 10" & 16" (used for 6" & 12" edging products)
  • Used for splicing edging sections that require a strong right angle support.
    BraceNBlock™ End Edge Connector 10" & 16" (used for 6" & 12" edging products)
  • Used for finishing the ends of edging sections for strong end connector support.

    BraceNBlock™ Edge provides maximum soil anchoring without the need for anchoring stakes. Its unique, patented, double sided, mesh design allows it to adhere to and grab the surrounding soil and allows plant roots to grab it keeping it securely in place. It will remain symmetrically vertical in the ground when properly installed without support stakes and you get no frost heave.

    There are several uses of the product accessories in residential and commercial applications when using the 6" & 12" BraceNBlock™ Edge edging products. The product accessories can be used in applications where a more finished edging appearance is desired, in applications where additional edging protection is needed at the corners in high pedestrian traffic areas, or in applications such as installation of soil retaining walls or liner ponds where extra edging support is needed.

    When installing silt fence, support above the ground can be obtained with steel or hardwood wooden posts tied to the silt fence.
