When blended with a standard
– Adds Extreme Flexural Strength –
– Prevents Cracks & Shrinking –
– Reduces Freeze & Thaw Issues –
Perma-Pak is designed to be blended with concrete on the
job site prior to mixing. 1 Perma Pak is a blend of 5 admixtures
specifically designed to provide these benefits:
— Extreme flexural strength: Makes standard concrete
approximately 783% more flexible
— Water stop technology: Waterproofing throughout
the entire concrete volume, Improved resistance against
hydrostatic pressure, and the ability to seal non-moving
cracks up to 0.016 (0.40mm)
— Shrink control: Greatly reduces cracks related to
drying and autogenous shrinkage, substantially improves
impermeability improving concretes durability & life cycle.
— Void Reduction: Dramatically increased compressive &
flexural strength, reduces permeability to increase the
life of concrete
— Macro Synthetic Fibers: Reduces shrinkage & settlement
cracking. Improves residual strength of concrete, improves
impact resistance, and enhances durability of concrete

YIELDS/MIXING/INSTALLATION
Open graded base: 1 Perma Pak/80 lbs bag of concrete will produce 12’-16’
open graded/clear base (chip bedding)
Dense Base: 1 Perma Pak/80 lb bag of concrete will produce 17’-21’
dense/crushed base (sand bedding)
NOTE: yields may vary depending on the thickness of the bedding layer used.
E.g.-a thicker bedding layer will take more product, therefore yielding less linear
feet of edging.
1- Perma Pak per 80 lb. bag of concrete
We recommend 3000 psi or greater concrete for maximum results. We do not
recommend mixing with mortars or plain portland cement, although a Perma
Pak would add much benefit, a standard concrete consisting of gravel, sand and
portland cement should be used
Perma-Edge Perma Paks Concrete Edge Restraint – 80 Lbs
In the world of hardscaping, stability and long-term performance are everything. Whether you're building a paver patio, walkway, driveway, or retaining edge, having a solid edge restraint is non-negotiable. That’s where Perma-Edge Perma Paks Concrete Edge Restraint – 80 Lbs steps in as a true game-changer. Designed to outperform traditional plastic and metal edging systems, this high-strength concrete edge restraint delivers lasting results without the headaches of shifting, lifting, or settling.
Let’s explore together what makes Perma-Edge Perma Paks the professional's choice—and why this product is quickly becoming the industry standard for durable, low-profile concrete edging.
What Are Perma-Edge Perma Paks?
Perma-Edge Perma Paks are pre-measured, ready-to-use bags of concrete edge restraint designed specifically for segmental paver systems. Each 80-pound bag contains a polymer-modified concrete mix that sets fast, bonds tightly, and resists freeze-thaw cycles, making it ideal for high-performance hardscape installations in any climate.
Unlike plastic edge restraints that rely on spikes or stakes to hold in place, Perma-Edge creates a monolithic curb that physically locks your pavers into position. Once installed, it becomes part of the paver system itself—curing into a permanent, load-bearing edge that won’t budge under pressure.
The Advantages of Concrete Edge Restraints Over Plastic or Metal
Many installers are still using plastic or aluminum edge restraints because they’re easy to install and widely available. But these systems have a major weakness: they rely solely on mechanical fasteners and often degrade over time. Shifting soil, water runoff, lawn equipment, and traffic can cause these restraints to fail—leading to lifted edges, sunken pavers, and costly repairs.
With Perma-Edge, you're creating a chemical and physical bond with the compacted base material and bedding layer, forming a structural edge that integrates seamlessly into your hardscape design. It offers better strength, better aesthetics (no visible restraints), and better long-term performance.
Why the 80 Lbs Size Matters
The Perma-Edge Perma Paks Concrete Edge Restraint – 80 Lbs bag size is no accident. Each pre-portioned bag is carefully calculated to provide enough product to install approximately 20 linear feet of restraint at standard width and depth. This takes the guesswork out of your material planning and ensures consistency from bag to bag.
Having 80-pound bags also minimizes the need for mixing large batches or measuring on-site, which reduces installation errors and speeds up production—especially important on large commercial or residential projects where time is money.
Ideal Applications for Perma-Edge
The strength and flexibility of Perma-Edge make it ideal for virtually any hardscape project. Whether you're a professional installer working on a commercial build or a homeowner taking on a DIY patio, this product performs exceptionally well in:
-
Patios and walkways
-
Driveways and parking pads
-
Retaining walls and raised beds
-
Pool decks and garden paths
-
Outdoor kitchens and fire pit areas
Because it cures into a rock-solid edge while remaining low-profile, it’s also ideal for aesthetic applications where visible edge materials would distract from the overall design.
Strength and Durability That Lasts
One of the biggest selling points of the Perma-Edge 80 Lbs Concrete Edge Restraint is its incredible compressive strength and resistance to the elements. The polymer-modified blend is engineered for high bonding strength and exceptional freeze-thaw resistance—meaning it won’t crack, break apart, or shift, even in harsh climates.
It sets up in as little as 15-30 minutes, depending on weather conditions, and fully cures within 24 hours. Once hardened, it creates a barrier that’s nearly impossible to compromise with normal foot traffic, vehicular loads, or landscape maintenance.
How to Install Perma-Edge Perma Paks Correctly
Installation is simple and straightforward, especially for experienced hardscape contractors:
-
Excavate and compact the base just like any traditional paver system.
-
Lay your pavers and ensure the bedding layer is level and secure.
-
Excavate a small trench along the edge of the pavers, roughly 4–6 inches wide and 4 inches deep.
-
Mix the Perma-Edge bag with water until it reaches a thick, moldable consistency.
-
Trowel the mix against the outside edge of the pavers, shaping it at a 45-degree angle for optimal support.
-
Smooth the top and finish as needed.
-
Let it cure, then backfill with soil or landscape material.
That’s it. No stakes. No spikes. No future adjustments. Just a permanent, stable edge that supports your entire installation.
Time and Labor Savings
Time is money in the hardscaping world, and Perma-Edge Perma Paks offer a big advantage in both. Unlike systems that require spiking every 6–8 inches, leveling, and double-checking alignment, concrete edge restraints install faster and with fewer tools.
Also, with each 80-lb bag pre-portioned for 20 feet of coverage, there’s less waste and more accurate estimating. For larger crews, this makes it easy to divide work evenly and streamline installation. You’ll finish jobs faster and more efficiently, allowing your team to move on to the next project sooner.
Environmentally Friendly and Invisible After Installation
One of the more overlooked advantages of Perma-Edge is its visual subtlety. Once the restraint cures and is backfilled, it disappears into the landscape—allowing the natural beauty of your pavers, stones, or bricks to take center stage.
Unlike plastic or metal edging that can become exposed over time, this restraint is completely invisible, enhancing the overall appearance of your finished work. It’s also made from materials that are safer for the environment and won’t break down into microplastics or rust.
Trusted by Professionals
Many of the industry’s top hardscape professionals now rely exclusively on Perma-Edge products to achieve long-lasting, professional-grade installations. Contractors have reported significant reductions in call-backs and warranty repairs after switching from traditional edging systems to Perma-Edge. It’s quickly becoming the standard in high-end hardscape construction, offering peace of mind for both the installer and the customer.
Final Thoughts: Perma-Edge Perma Paks Are the Future of Edge Restraints
The Perma-Edge Perma Paks Concrete Edge Restraint – 80 Lbs isn’t just another tool in your hardscape kit—it’s a foundational upgrade that enhances the quality, longevity, and appearance of every project you complete. With its unmatched durability, ease of use, and invisible finish, it’s no surprise that more professionals and serious DIYers are choosing Perma-Edge over outdated plastic or metal alternatives.
If you're looking to install pavers that stay locked in place for the long haul, with a clean edge and zero future maintenance, it’s time to make the switch. Trust Perma-Edge to hold the line—literally.
