Create tidy, long-lasting borders around flower beds, veggie gardens or feature areas. SNAP-IT™ makes it easy to get sharp lines or soft curves without the need for a contractor.
Use LC1, LC2 or LC3 curved units for rounded garden beds, or combine 90° Elbows and Straight Units for more formal box shapes.
SNAP-IT™ creates a clean divide between lawn and garden beds, keeping mulch in place and giving lawns a tidy, intentional look.
Use Straight Units along fence lines or driveways. Add gentle curves around lawn features with LC2 or LC3 curves.
Define walkways through gardens or around the house with crisp concrete edging. SNAP-IT™ lets you shape natural paths or more structured zones with ease.
Use a mix of straights and elbows for tight turns or garden corners. For winding or curved paths, LC2 units make layout simple.
Create easy-care borders around lawns and garden beds. SNAP-IT™ mowing strips reduce weed creep, protect planting areas, and make edging a breeze when you’re mowing.
Use Straight Units along driveways, fences, and lawns. Combine with 90° Elbows at corners for sharp, clean angles.
Frame feature trees or create tidy planting zones with SNAP-IT™. Tree rings help protect roots, hold mulch in place, and make your landscaping look polished.
Use LC1 or LC2 units to create neat circular or oval surrounds. Combine with Straight Units for more structured layouts.
Define your outdoor fire area with SNAP-IT™. Whether it’s a formal seating circle or a casual backyard fire zone, edging adds structure and polish.
Use LC2 or LC3 units to form wide curves around your fire pit. Combine with straights for square or oval zones.
Add a clean concrete edge to your driveway with SNAP-IT™. Our Driveway Curve units are designed specifically for tight-radius bends, giving you a professional finish around existing paving.
Use Driveway Curves to follow the driveway shape, and Straight Units to complete the sides. Use Elbows where tighter corners are needed.
SNAP-IT™ is perfect for edging around ponds, fountains or water features. Create formal or natural-looking surrounds that help define the space and protect the base.
Use LC1 or LC2 units to create neat circular or oval surrounds. Combine with Straight Units for more structured layouts.
Most SNAP-IT™ projects can be finished in one of three ways:
Trowelled: smooth and tidy. Ideal for formal borders and pathways.
Brushed: adds grip and a natural texture. Perfect for lawn and driveway edges.
Imprinted: use a roller for decorative detail. Great around gardens or fire pits.
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 (coming soon!) 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 durable, injection-moulded plastic designed for strength, stability, and ease of use. The forms are non-biodegradable and 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.
