I sacrificed one stone in my garden as, from experience, I've found that shocking the stones even with a rubber mallet weakens e concrete coloured surface.

@SmileySam127 "much more cheaper"? Right up there with "more gooder". ;)

[SmileySam127]

Edging blocks have the concrete driveway on the one side to provide support and are installed 1-1/2" below top grade to increase stability. They have been in for a year and a half and haven't moved yet, but I guess anything is possible.

@iScaper1 jdsalm has got a point. Regardless of the fact the edgings where installed on top of a compacted road base the bricks will soon move if something is knocked against them. If you have kids you will constantly be moving the bricks back after a stray foot, bicycle wheel or soccer ball. Slightly compacted mulch will hardly prevent this.

@jdsalm

These edging blocks were installed on top of compacted road base gravel left over from when the cement contractors installed the driveway. After a wetter than normal winter and an abnormally wet spring, the edging blocks look great with no settling or buckling.

That brick edging will not last long. There's no subsurface preparation to prevent the bricks from buckling later on.
