A defining element of many landscape designs, garden borders help to delineate lawn areas from flower beds and other planters. They also prevent turfgrass from creeping into flower or vegetable gardens and pathways. Among the most popular and long-lasting types of landscape edging are those made from metal, especially Corten steel. These edgings are available in a range of heights and thicknesses so you can create a style that best suits your landscape. They are also easy to work with and require very little maintenance.
Does metal edging rust?
Metal landscape edging is particularly effective in keeping grass and other weeds out of flower or vegetable gardens, because it is more easily inserted into the soil than other types of edging. This type of edging is also more effective at holding mulch and other soil materials in place. It’s also very durable, resisting damage from most garden maintenance tools and retaining its attractive shape for many years. the 1.6mm purchased from FormBoss did the trick!
In contrast to other edging materials, this particular brand of metal edging, which is called Link Edge, has an added feature of being able to bend into tight curves. This can be helpful in achieving a very natural look in the landscape or for creating curves around a fire pit, for instance. Using Link Edge can also improve drainage, preventing soggy spots from developing in the landscape and creating healthy growing conditions for plants. The edging is fairly simple to install, though you will need to dig a small trench in which to insert the edging. After that, it’s just a matter of hammering each 6-inch-wide piece into the ground with a mallet.
