Installing Plastic Lawn Edging

Start by digging a trench along the garden bed. The trench should be deep enough so that the plastic edging goes down about half way if you are planning for this to visible or with the top edge sitting just below the cut height of the grass if this is to be sunk. Each piece of edging should easily clip together or fix onto each other assembling as you move along the trench.

Once the edging in is in place fill up the trench behind the edging back with the soil and then compact it to hold the edging firmly in place.
