Edging
Home Depot SaveEmail Belcrete 1 ft. Concrete Edging - $3.49 Pavers come in a wide range of styles and sizes. These provide a more organic and natural look than the standard structured pavers. Use these when you want an edging that melds with the surrounding landscape.
If you're looking for a cast concrete look but don't want to invest the time, money, or energy that can require, try for a simple paver that mimics the smooth look of cast concrete.
COL-MET 14-Gauge Brown Steel Landscape Edging Durable and easy to install, this steel edging gives your garden or lawn a clean and professional look. This edging comes in 8 inch segments, with four stakes in each segment for simple installation. It's strong and easy to bend and shape, which makes it a good choice for curved borders.
Wood is a beautiful edging material that gives a garden a glowing, warm look. It tends to work best to line the side of a path or lawn. Use a thinner bender board for curved edges and winding pathways. This cedar bender board works wonders as a soft, natural form of landscape edging. Cedar is one of nature's most durable woods. It's highly resistant to decay and insects — making it a natural choice for outdoor use.
Pavers and other pre-cast concrete edging are pre-made alternatives to cast concrete that can interlock and fit along borders in straight or curved sections. There are usually some substantial gaps in between each stone, so this isn't always the best option if you're interested in maintaining a strict line between different types of plant life.
Metal edging is extremely durable and works well with gardens and lawns that have both straight and curved borders. This invisible aluminum edging is light and flexible enough to shape around curved beds, but strong enough to withstand the elements.
Price. We all know you get what you pay for, and garden edging isn’t any different. If it is cheap, then chances are that it won’t last or it won’t look good for very long. If you can’t afford to have the type of edging you want in your entire garden, then consider mixing it up with a cheaper option. Spend your money on tidying up the key areas, such as the home’s entry or entertainment areas, and always keep in mind making maintenance as easy as you can. A little money spent now will save you in the long run. Your existing space. When choosing the best material for you, look at the styles that already exist in your home and garden. Decide if you want the edging to be an important visual element of the garden (if not in all areas, then perhaps in some), or if it needs to blend in and be partly hidden by the plants. You don’t need to have the same type of edging in your entire garden, but all the styles do need to complement one another. Finally, consider how durable your edging needs to be. Investing in good edging will make all the difference, in the way that a new frame can bring a painting back to life.
Sometimes just a little bit of texture is all it takes. Rust-ridden sheet metal not only contains your planting beds, but its appearance will actually change over time. The patina will continue to change the longer it's exposed to the elements.
