Edge restraint system for pavers

An edge restraint system for pavers, comprising:

• a first interlocking edge restraint and a second interlocking edge restraint, each interlocking edge restraint comprising:
• a vertical member,
• a horizontal member,
• a gusset that is configured to buttress the vertical and horizontal members at a right angle,
• a first engagement area on a first end, and
• a second engagement area on a second end opposite the first engagement area,
• wherein the first engagement area comprises a first alignment button extending vertically from the horizontal member, a second alignment button extending vertically from the horizontal member, and a first spike aperture interposed between the first alignment button and the second alignment button, and the second engagement area comprises a first alignment button aperture on the horizontal member, a second alignment button aperture on the horizontal member, and a second spike aperture interposed between the first and second alignment button apertures;
• a geogrid;
• a grid clip, comprising:
• a third alignment button aperture configured to align with the first alignment button aperture, a fourth alignment button aperture configured to align with the second alignment button aperture, a third spike aperture interposed between the third and fourth alignment button apertures, and a screw aperture;
• a spike;
• and
• a screw;
• wherein the second engagement area of the second interlocking edge restraint is configured to overlay the first engagement area of the first interlocking edge restraint, and the grid clip is configured to overlay the second engagement area, the spike and screw configured to pass through the grid clip, second interlocking edge restraint, and the first interlocking edge restraint.

A method of using an edge restraint system for pavers, the method comprising:

• coupling a first interlocking edge restraint to a second interlocking edge restraint, the first and second interlocking edge restraints each comprising:
• a vertical member, a horizontal member, a gusset that is configured to buttress the vertical and horizontal members, at least one first engagement area, and one second engagement area, wherein the first engagement area comprises a first alignment button extending vertically from the horizontal member, a second alignment button extending vertically from the horizontal member, and a first spike aperture interposed between the first alignment button and the second alignment button, and the second engagement area comprises a first alignment button aperture on the horizontal member, a second alignment button aperture on the horizontal member, and a second spike aperture interposed between the first and second alignment button apertures;
• placing the vertical members of the first and second interlocking edge restraints in contact with a paver;
• and
• wherein the first and second interlocking edge restraints are coupled together by inserting the first alignment button of the first interlocking edge restraint into the first alignment button aperture of the second interlocking edge restraint, and simultaneously inserting the second alignment button of the first interlocking edge restraint into the second alignment button aperture of the second interlocking edge restraint.
