Experimenting with permanent road bed.

H

Huh? What?

The wife and I have been pondering how to do the roadbed for the Sprite Valley. We picked up some ProFlex Paver edging at Home Depot, and so far, it looks good.


ProFlex edging


You lay the edging out, spike it down, lay in some paver sand, then level whatever paving bricks you want to use. We're going to use 4" x 8" bricks.


I'm trying the layout for it, so I haven't put any sand down yet. I just want to see how it works. I have some other track coming that will slightly alter the layout. Once the sand is in place under the bricks, the top edge of the bricks will be a half inch or so above the top of the paver edging, and there will be more spikes used to hold it in place. The spikes will also be driven all the way down. I need to be able to pull them for the moment.

I like the edging but, if it was me, I would be thinking of ballasting the track. Are there any shallower paving blocks that would allow the edging to come above the blocks so that you could do that?
Or just use the edging on top of weed membrane and fill in with gravel - a cheaper option. That's if you want to ballast it of course - you may be grassing the area either side of the track and the slightly raised pavours would be easy to keep clean in that case.
