Why Install Lawn Edging?
Garden and lawn edging provides the perfect finishing touch to your garden design. It is easy to install and allows you to create neat edges along lawns, paths, driveways and flower beds.
Eliminating the need for constant lawn edge trimming, garden and border edging can also help keep creeping plants in place, define planting areas, even when plants are dormant and can help reduce weed transfer.
When it comes to landscape edging choices, there are several different styles made from a variety of materials such as concrete, plastic, steel, aluminium, rubber, and wood from which to choose, allowing you to create edging around curved and straight borders to suit your garden.
Sunk grass edging, where the top surface is nearly flush with the ground acts as a lawnmower base allowing you to run the mower over the edging and eliminate hand trimming of the lawn.
Strip edging on its own or combined with a border of chipping stones or tree bark looks neat and requires minimal maintenance.
In selecting an edging weigh appearance, cost and ease of installation.
