Product Information
Full details
This pack of 10 stone-effect lawn edging sections from Coopers of Stortford is designed for homeowners seeking to create a neat and tidy garden boundary with minimal effort. Its key benefit is the realistic cobbled stone appearance combined with durable, maintenance-free PP plastic construction, allowing for easy shaping of both straight and curved edges. A potential caveat is that while the spikes are 12cm long, very hard or rocky soil may require pre-digging for easier installation. The product offers a total length of 2.4 metres, helping to prevent soil creep and protect plants.

Troubleshooting
Edging sections won't stay upright
Ensure spikes are fully inserted into the ground. If the soil is very loose, consider digging a shallow trench for more stability or adding soil support around the base.
Difficulty inserting spikes
Soften the soil with water or pre-dig a shallow trench along the intended edge line. Remove any rocks or hard obstructions in the path of the spike.
Sections don't interlock securely
Check that the interlocking tabs and slots are clean and free of debris. Ensure the sections are aligned correctly before pushing them together.
Edging looks uneven
Adjust the depth of each spike insertion to align the top edge of the sections. Use a spirit level for precise straight edges if desired.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Clear the intended edge line of debris and large stones.
- Align the first edging section with the desired start point.
- Gently tap the integrated 12cm spikes into the ground using a rubber mallet or the heel of a boot until the section is firmly in place.
- Connect the next section by interlocking it with the previous one.
- Continue this process, tapping in spikes as you go, to form your desired edge shape (straight or curved).
Compatibility:
This product is designed for use in standard garden soil. It is compatible with lawns, garden beds, paths, and pond edges. For extremely hard or compacted soil, pre-digging a shallow trench may facilitate easier spike insertion. It is not designed for use on paved surfaces or as a structural retaining wall.
Care:
Clean the edging with a damp cloth or a soft brush as needed. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the stone effect finish. The PP plastic is weather-resistant, requiring no special seasonal maintenance.
