Permaloc Edging: The Aluminum Edging Lineup Explained
What Permaloc edging is, the full lineup, and how to choose the right profile for your project
In This Guide
Permaloc edging is a family of commercial-grade aluminum landscape and paver edgings made by Permaloc Corporation, a US manufacturer specializing in aluminum edging and restraint systems. The lineup spans nine distinct product lines, from thin flexible residential bed edging to deep heavy-duty commercial paver restraints, all sharing the same core advantage: aluminum that will not rust, holds a crisp line, and lasts for decades without replacement.
Quick answer: Permaloc edging is commercial-grade aluminum landscape and paver edging from Permaloc Corporation — nine product lines covering everything from residential lawn borders to commercial paver restraints, athletic surfaces, and synthetic turf.

What is Permaloc edging?
Permaloc edging (sometimes misspelled permalock edging) is aluminum edging engineered for professional landscapes. Permaloc Corporation has manufactured the full line in the US since 1983, and the products are specified by landscape architects, hardscape contractors, and municipalities on projects ranging from residential garden beds to commercial plazas and athletic facilities.
Every Permaloc product shares a common principle: aluminum is used instead of steel, plastic, or concrete because it does not rust, does not become brittle, and holds dimensional stability through freeze-thaw cycles and decades of outdoor exposure. The result is an edge that stays sharp and a restraint that stays in place without seasonal resetting.
The full Permaloc lineup
Each line is engineered for a specific application. Here is what each one does:
CleanLine
The flagship landscape edging for planting beds, mulch borders, and walkway edges. Available in the widest range of depths (3" to 5.5") and all five finishes. The go-to choice for most residential and commercial landscape bed applications.
CleanLine XL
An extra-deep version of CleanLine reaching 12 inches for raised planting beds, deep mulch retention, and demanding commercial sites where standard depths are not sufficient.
ProLine
A classic L-shaped 4 inch profile that creates a clean maintenance strip between turf and beds. Straightforward to install and well-suited to long straight runs and gentle curves.
ProSlide and ProSlide LT
Landscape edging with an interlocking slide connector that joins sections end-to-end without separate splice plates, reducing installation time on long runs. ProSlide LT is a lighter-duty version for residential projects.
PermaStrip
A paver and hardscape restraint in 3.5 to 6 inch depths, designed for maintenance strips bordering buildings, fences, and aggregate walkways. Its L-shape allows aggregate to be placed over the horizontal base for an integrated installation.
StructurEdge
A low-profile paver restraint (1-5/8 to 2-1/4 inch) that installs under or alongside pavers and disappears below the surface. Its tight-fitting L-shape promotes healthy turf and accommodates irrigation heads, unlike bulkier triangular restraints.
Asphalt Edging
An L-shaped restraint that anchors under asphalt pathways, giving asphalt paths a clean finished edge that prevents crumbling and keeps the surface material contained.
AthletEdge
A restraint engineered specifically for running tracks and athletic surfaces, holding the track material in place under the repeated impact and lateral forces of athletic use.
GeoEdge
A deep anchor profile for synthetic turf and green roof applications, keeping turf and planting materials in place where standard landscape edging is not deep or strong enough.
Choosing the right line
Start with your application, then narrow by depth and finish:
- Landscape beds, mulch, gravel borders: CleanLine (most versatile), ProLine (classic straight maintenance strip), or ProSlide (fast installation on long runs).
- Raised beds or deep mulch retention: CleanLine XL.
- Brick or concrete pavers: StructurEdge (low-profile, hidden) or PermaStrip (maintenance strip and aggregate applications).
- Asphalt paths: Asphalt Edging.
- Running tracks and athletic surfaces: AthletEdge.
- Synthetic turf or green roofs: GeoEdge.
Within each line, choose 1/8 inch gauge for curves and 3/16 inch for straight runs, then select your depth and finish.

Gauges, depths, and finishes
- 1/8 inch (3.2mm): more flexible, ideal for tight curves and curvilinear beds.
- 3/16 inch (4.8mm): stiffer, better for long straight runs and heavier commercial use.
- Depths range from 3 inches up to 5.5 inches on the landscape lines, with CleanLine XL reaching 12 inches.
- Finishes: Mill (natural aluminum), Black, Green, and Bronze DuraFlex (baked-on coating), and Black Anodized. Black is the most popular for a recessive, modern look; Mill suits naturalistic settings.
Why specifiers choose Permaloc
- One manufacturer, every application: landscape, paver, asphalt, athletic, and synthetic turf lines all from one source, simplifying specification and procurement.
- Commercial-grade durability: aluminum resists rust and holds dimensional stability through decades of freeze-thaw, unlike steel (rust) or plastic (brittleness).
- Crisp lines that hold: once staked, Permaloc stays where it is set without seasonal resetting.
- Finish options for any design: five finishes including Black Anodized for high-end commercial work.
- Recyclable material: aluminum is fully recyclable and qualifies for LEED credits on eligible projects.
