Permaloc Edging: Offering High-Quality Solutions for Different Applications

When it comes to constructing durable, professional and clean borders for outdoor spaces, Permaloc aluminum edging is the go-to solution for landscaping professionals. 

From defining garden beds to stabilizing pathways and hardscapes, Permaloc edging offers the durability and performance you need to bring your vision to life. If you’re a landscaping professional searching for a product that combines reliability, ease of installation and exceptional performance, Permaloc is your answer.

An Overview of Edging Applications

Permaloc edging is incredibly versatile, making it ideal for various residential and commercial applications. These include common applications — like landscape beds, sports and play surfaces, aggregate walkways and permeable pavement — and niche applications, including:

• Green Roofs: Permaloc edging in green roofs creates clean borders on the structures around green spaces or rooftop plantings. The edging provides structural support and helps contain the soil, keeping plants in place. Its lightweight and durable construction makes it a great choice for rooftop projects.
• Asphalt: When asphalt is used for pathways, driveways or parking lots, Permaloc provides a crucial barrier to prevent asphalt from eroding or spreading beyond its boundaries and reduces the need for a secondary saw cut operation. The strength of aluminum ensures the surface stays well-defined and secure, even under extreme weather or heavy traffic. 
• Hardscape: In brick paver tile installations, Permaloc keeps pavers neatly aligned. It works as a containment barrier, preventing shifting or paver separation during movement or weather changes. 
• Maintenance Strips: Permaloc provides a clean, functional boundary to make upkeep easier in maintenance strips or narrow areas between hardscapes or sidewalks. This is useful for projects where a clear boundary between different surface materials is necessary, reducing the risk of overgrowth or the need for constant upkeep. 

Design Ideas for Different Applications

Below are a few design ideas to inspire you with product suggestions based on the different applications of landscape beds, aggregate walkways, permeable pavements and play surfaces.

Landscape Beds

The most common use of landscape edging is for landscape beds. Permaloc landscape edging offers a reliable solution for creating crisp, defined borders and smooth curves in landscape beds. 

Whether you’re defining garden beds, flower borders or shrub plantings, Permaloc’s flexibility and durability make it the perfect choice for maintaining the integrity over time.

The type of Permaloc edging you choose will depend on your landscaping needs.

CleanLine™

CleanLine is a commercial-grade aluminum edging designed to provide exceptional performance. It is unique, patented, stakeless connection system ensures the permanent interlocking of adjacent sections, eliminating any risk of horizontal separation.

It effortlessly accommodates curves and angles, allowing landscaping professionals to easily create intricate, custom designs. 

CleanLine XL™

For more heavy-duty uses, CleanLine XL is the extra-deep CleanLine version, ideal for large aggregate retention, raised beds and other applications requiring extra depth or durability. 

With 12-inch or 18-inch interlocking stakes, it keeps landscape edges intact under heavy use or extreme weather conditions. It also qualifies for LEED points, making it great for sustainable landscape design.

ProLine™

ProLine is a more affordable solution for residential and light commercial projects without sacrificing quality. 

It qualifies for LEED points and features a unique interlocking system that eliminates the need for horizontal separation. The system ensures a tight, secure fit and is flexible enough to handle straight lines and gentle curves. 

ProSlide™

ProSlide is engineered for a fast and simple installation process. Its telescoping design allows sections to slide together, eliminating the need for stakes at the connection point. It provides a uniform and clean edge across the landscape. 

ProSlide LT™

ProSlide LT is a more cost-effective solution that outperforms plastic edging with more durability and less maintenance. It forms smooth curves with minimal effort, keeping landscaping beautiful for years to come. 

All these solutions are engineered to maximize design sustainability, offer long-lasting durability and allow users minimal maintenance for their landscape bed projects.

Aggregate Walkway

Creating beautiful and functional walkways can be challenging when dealing with loose materials like decomposed granite, pea gravel or crushed stone. The biggest concern is often the shifting of these materials. Gravel or stone easily spills into adjacent areas, disrupting the pathway’s aesthetic and functionality. 

These pathways also often wind through gardens or interactive landscapes, requiring a solution to keep the aggregate contained and walkable. Permaloc’s edging products are designed specifically to meet this challenge. They prevent erosion and keep the walkway well-defined with minimal maintenance.

PermaStrip™

PermaStrip is a versatile choice for straight-line applications or gentle curves. It is a semi-rigid, L-shaped aluminum strip. It keeps a clean edge along the walkway while allowing the aggregate to spill over the top of the horizontal base. Its rigid L-shape prevents waviness or uneven lines common with other landscaping edging.

The PermaStrip sliding connection system makes installation easy and quick, keeping sections secure and aligned properly. When used along a winding path or around a garden, it gives a gorgeous solution that holds the aggregate in place.

AsphaltEdge™

When an asphalt edge is part of the walkway design, AsphaltEdge is used. It provides a strong, uniform 90-degree edge for structural support and a nice, finished look. It also prevents the degradation of the edges where asphalt meets aggregate over time, keeping the surface smooth and continuous. 

CleanLine XL

For deeper or larger aggregate retention, CleanLine XL offers a heavy-duty solution. It keeps the walkway intact, even under heavy use or high foot traffic. It’s also perfect for creating walkways with large stones or gravel that need extra containment.

Permeable Pavement

Permeable pavement allows water to drain through surfaces and reduces stormwater runoff. Permaloc’s eco-friendly edging products are ideal for sustainable projects like this. 

GeoEdge™

GeoEdge is a flexible, multi-height aluminum restraint system designed for this application. It integrates easily into paver installations, providing a stable edge that allows water runoff through its slotted wall design. GeoEdge eliminates the need for bulky concrete curbs, reducing installation costs and time. As a bonus, it qualifies for LEED points.

BrickBlock™

BrickBlock is a cost-effective, low-profile aluminum restraint system for straight and curved permeable pavement applications. It has a patented QuickClip™ connection system to make installation simple. Its design supports healthy turf growth and minimizes disruption to irrigation systems.

Sports or Play Surfaces

If you have a project for athletic or play surfaces, like running tracks, tennis courts or playgrounds, look no further than AthletEdge™. This system provides a stable, well-defined boundary that prevents material erosion and surface damage from high foot traffic.

Its patented L-shaped aluminum design features weep holes for water drainage, helping maintain the integrity of rubber and asphalt-based surfaces. The product also has a long-lasting, tidy appearance and qualifies for LEED points, supporting sustainable design.
