Oly-Ola Edgings

What Oly-Ola Edgings does

Oly-Ola Edgings, Inc. is a privately held US manufacturer of commercial-grade landscape edging products headquartered in Villa Park, Illinois. Founded around 1978–1980 and operating for more than 45 years, the company designs and sells paver edgings, lawn edgings, and specialty/green roof edgings made from 100% recycled PVC and polyethylene. Its flagship innovation is the original L-shaped paver edging design (trademarked Bric-Edg) along with a proprietary overlap connection method, plus heat-formable formulations that allow contractors to bend and shape edgings into curves, patterns, and logos. The product portfolio spans roughly twenty SKUs across paver restraint (Bric-Edg family, Bulldog-Edg, Stone-Edg, Permeable Paver Edging), lawn edging (Edg-King, Black Edg-Knight, Black Jack, Trim-Line, Super-Edg, Slim-Edg), and green roof/specialty (Teco-Edg, Stone Walkway Edging), complemented by accessories and retail display fixtures.

Oly-Ola's products are backed by a 20-year comprehensive guarantee and positioned as safer, more economical alternatives to metal, wood, and concrete edgings. The portfolio is targeted primarily at professional landscape contractors, landscape architects, and hardscape professionals, with a secondary DIY homeowner segment reached indirectly through retail. Customers — landscape material distributors, building supply wholesalers, and independent nursery/garden centers — resell to commercial and residential end users; project references include high-profile venues such as theme parks, monuments, race tracks, stadiums, and museums.

The business model is predominantly one-time product sales through a multi-channel distributor and reseller network, with no public e-commerce and no disclosed pricing. The website serves as a content hub featuring installation guides, how-to videos, the Edging Handbook, FAQs, customer testimonials, project galleries, and a bi-annual photo contest to drive engagement and specifications. Operating geographies are primarily North America (US and Canada) with incidental international customer references. Revenue, funding, ownership, and management details are not publicly disclosed; no subsidiaries, M&A activity, or institutional investment have been documented in the available data.
