Encina Kerb - Stone-Look Edging for Paths and Walls
Bordillo Encina: concrete edging with the look of stone laid on its side
A garden path without edging loses its gravel, bark or flowerbed soil at the first rain. The Bordillo Encina closes off the edge with a concrete piece that replicates stone set on edge, in the same family of tones as the Encina wall, so that path, flowerbed and wall speak the same language.
✅ Main advantages
Continuity with the wall: shares its texture and Albero and Caliza colors with the Encina wall block, so the whole set looks coordinated.
Two lengths: the short piece handles curves and tight radii; the long one covers straight sections quickly.
Direct installation: it is set on a strip of mortar, with no formwork or special pieces.
Dual function: works as a path edging and as a top finish for low walls.
Through-body color: the tones don't fade in the sun or from the scuffing of the brushcutter.
🏗️ Recommended applications
Edges of gravel, bark or sand paths.
Delimiting flowerbeds, borders and lawn areas.
Finishing and capping low garden walls.
Separation between paved and planted areas.
Tree and shrub surrounds.
📋 Technical specifications
Material: through-colored concrete.
Finish: imitation of stone laid on its side.
Two piece formats: short and long.
Colors: Albero and Caliza.
Use: outdoor.
🧰 Installation
Mark the edging line with string and dig a trench about 10 cm deep.
Spread a continuous strip of dry mortar at the bottom of the trench.
Set the pieces by tapping them with a rubber mallet until they are level with the string.
On curves, open the joint slightly on the outer face and use the short piece.
Back up both sides with mortar and let it set for 24 hours before filling in the path.
📦 Available formats
Short piece — per unit.
Long piece — per unit.
Albero and Caliza colors in both formats.
💡 Professional tip: measure the curve before ordering. On tight radii only the short piece fits, and you will need quite a few more units per linear meter than the straight-line calculation gives; allow an extra 10-15 % on any layout with curves and don't order just enough, because top-up orders of a single pallet are expensive in shipping costs.
