Almost overnight, the edges have turned completely brown?

The edges along my driveway burn every summer when it's hot. I don't know if that's what you have going on but that's the first thought that came to my mind.

Any reason why it's the edges?

For me, it's because the pavement gets scorching hot, and that hot pavement dries out the ground and plant life along the very edge. That may be what's happening with your bricks if you've had some hot weather. It's a normal occurrence around here each summer, especially whenever we lack rain.

If that's what's happening for you, watering along the edge may help, I don't know for sure. I always just leave it be since it's not worth my time, but my grass does regrow once the heat of summer cools down.
