Creating a defined boundary or edge between your lawn and decorative beds can lend a clean, neat appearance to your outdoor landscaping. Edging grassy areas also helps prevent grass plants from invading mulched areas and growing across walkways and patios. Several types of edging materials are available to help you achieve a neat, well-defined landscape and make long-term maintenance easier.
Requirements
A lawn edging product should meet several requirements to ensure it is a good, long-term solution. It should be durable, resisting breakdown from rain and seasonal temperature changes, and strong enough to withstand occasional collision with a lawn mower. Edging material should extend below the surface to act as a barrier against plant roots. It should also help keep mulch in flower beds and provide a well-defined line for trimming and mowing the lawn.
Metal Edging
Steel edging is very durable and usually quite flexible. It works well along curved boundaries as well as in straight areas and has a professionally installed appearance. Hoot Landscape and Design uses a very durable heavy gauge steel edging that is meant to last a very long time. As with any metal being exposed to the elements, the metal can rust over time. However, a rusted appearance may fit in well with a rustic landscape plan.
