In 1985, Stephen Jones formed PAVE TECH, INC. as a residential paver installation company. His experience in those years opened his eyes to the reality of a contracting business.

His first job, a 4800 S.F. driveway, sidewalk, patio, pool deck proved to be one of his most complicated ever. This was the first and last time he ever used treated lumber edging. After being totally dissatisfied with the use of treated lumber for edge restraint, he began to use what has been called a "concrete toe", placed after the pavers had been laid. In Steve's case this consisted of ready-mix concrete and re-rod troweled into place. But even this had difficulty staying put when vehicles traveled near the edge. This labor intensive method caused Steve to search the market for alternatives. He found none suitable.

In the fall of 1986, Steve's thoughts turned to designing a new edge restraint specifically for paver installations. By Spring of 1987, Steve had his first pieces of what was then called "PAVE TECH Edging". That first introductory year, PAVE TECH sold about 50,000 feet of edging. After the experiences, trials and tribulations of that first year, PAVE TECH relocated its manufacturing to a Chicago based plastics company. It was also the time of many changes to the size and shape of what would became known as "PAVE EDGE".

1988 was also the year that "PAVE EDGE Flexible" became available to make radius work easier. That second year also saw sales increase to more than 500,000 feet.

Today, PAVE TECH has companies that manufacture PAVE EDGE in the United States, Canada, Japan and Europe.
