Introducing the patented
GapLock Edging Connector
An innovative way to better connect vinyl landscape edging together – safely and securely!
Innovative Design
Whether you’re a landscape installation professional or a home owner, you want your landscape to look nice. The seamless line that divides your landscape beds from your lawn is a focal point. When that line is broken or sticking up and out of place, it becomes a distraction and a maintenance nightmare. Design Align’s GapLock connector solves that problem by locking the edging in place at 4 connection points, two points through the normal connection at the top tube, and the innovative approach by connecting to at least two points below grade – on the edging panel.
Safety First
Nobody wants to get injured on the job. The GapLock connector allows installation without cutting the edging. And if you do need to cut the edging, it would be minimal. Each edging piece will be pre shaped to accept the GapLock connector, with pre-drilled holes to lock it in place. If using a blank piece of edging, two holes can easily be drilled or placed using a cordless drill or hole punch.
A Real Time Saver
Simply put, less time spent using antiquated methods to install edging, means time saved on the job. Plus, not having to return to a jobsite to repair edging that has separated at the connection joint, means profit retained and not lost to warranty visits.
TAKE GAPLOCK FOR A SPIN!
Our Story
Jeffrey Ballard, founder of Design Align Landscape edging and inventor of the GapLock edging connector, is a graduate of Purdue University’s landscape architecture program. Immediately after graduation, Mr. Ballard began his career in the design build industry. There, he gained experience in managing residential and commercial landscape construction projects. Time management and safety were two big components of each successful project. He noticed that every landscape job had tasks that could be examined and refined to save time on the job. One of those tasks was the installation of landscape edging. In particular, the task of joining together, two pieces of vinyl landscape edging. This task was antiquated and actually dangerous. The workman had to cut both ends of each piece of edging so that they could be over lapped and stacked in place with metal stakes. Sometimes, laborers would badly cut themselves with landscape sheers while trying to cut the edging for overlapping. Mr. Ballard decided to devote his design and engineering skills to create a better solution. One that decreased the chance for injury, saved time and stopped the edging from separating over time.
