Perfect garden edges start here.

SNAP-IT™ is a 13.5cm wide by 9cm deep sacrificial edging mould and boxing system, designed to guide poured concrete or mortar and support reinforcing steel where extra strength is needed.

✓ Fast DIY installation   ✓ Steel-reinforced concrete  ✓ Perfect curves and corners

01

Plan it.

Purchase our pre-made kits or the custom calculator to design your ideal edging layout.

02

SNAP-IT.

Dig a shallow trench for in-ground installation, then snap the pieces together to suit any shape. Lay your reinforcing steel on top.

03

Pour it.

Pour in your concrete. After about 30 minutes, choose your finish: trowel, brush, or imprint roller.

04

Job done.

After 5 days, your concrete should be cured. Trim the edges with a heavy-bladed knife, backfill with soil or stones, and admire your handiwork.

why choose SNAP-IT™

The smarter alternative to traditional timber boxing.

Pouring concrete garden edging the traditional way usually means building timber boxing from scratch, wrestling with curves, and spending hours getting everything aligned before the concrete even goes in. SNAP-IT replaces the entire process with a simple snap-together system designed specifically for concrete garden edging.

Traditional edging:

Time-consuming to measure, cut and build

Timber is expensive

Difficult to create smooth curves

Requires timber, stakes, screws and bracing

Forms can shift during the pour

Removing boards can damage the edge

Inconsistent results depending on skill level

Lots of setup and cleanup

SNAP-IT™

✓ Snap-together formwork ready in minutes
✓ No expensive timber formwork required
✓ Easily follows curves, corners and shapes
✓ Purpose-built system for concrete edging
✓ Holds its shape during the pour
✓ Cleaner, more consistent finish
✓ Faster installation with less labour
✓ Designed for DIYers and professionals

how it works

Plan it. SNAP-IT™. Pour it. Job done.

step 01

Plan it.

Measure up your garden with a good old fashioned tape measure and decide whether a Starter Kit is going to suffice, or if you need to, use our custom SNAP-IT™ Builder. 

step 02

SNAP-IT™ together.

Snap the moulds together along your marked edge: straights, curves, corners, whatever your layout needs. Everything clicks into place without tools. Add in the reinforcing steel and you’re ready to pour.

step 03

Pour it.

Pour your concrete directly into the SNAP-IT™ system. After around 30 minutes, once the surface begins to firm up, it’s time to apply your finish. Use a trowel for a smooth look, a stiff brush for texture, or an imprint roller for a decorative pattern.

step 04

Job Done.

After 5 days, your concrete should be cured. The SNAP-IT™ system is sacrificial, so simply trim off the edges with a heavy-bladed knife. Backfill with soil, sand, or stones, and enjoy a crisp, clean edge that looks like it was built by a pro.
Then tag us to share your project – we would love to see what you’ve created.

FAQ

What tools do I need to install SNAP-IT?

You’ll need a spade, snips (for trimming components), steel rebar (included in most kits), a hammer or mallet, and a SNAP-IT Finishing Trowel (included in most kits or sold separately). A string line or chalk is helpful for layout. 

Use the SNAP-IT Builder to plan your layout and calculate how many straights, curves, and elbows you’ll need. Or choose a pre-made kit that suits your project size and shape. 

Yes, all units can be trimmed with snips for smaller spaces. Always leave a 10–20mm overlap between pieces for strength and a snug seal.

SNAP-IT edging units are made from, recycled and virgin thermoformed High Impact Polystyrene plastic designed for strength, stability, and ease of use. The forms are non-biodegradable and the bottom section of the moulding is intended to be left in place as part of the finished concrete edge.

 

While not reusable, SNAP-IT pieces can be recycled through standard household collection systems in New Zealand, provided they are fully cleaned of any concrete residue first. Check with your local council for specific recycling requirements.
