Can I use Smartedge on a sloped lawn?
Yes, Smartedge can be used on sloped lawns. Ensure the edging is properly secured to prevent movement.
What happens if a pin breaks?
You can use another pin or a similar securing device to replace the broken one. The biodegradable pins are designed to decompose naturally.
How do I cut the Smartedge to fit?

Troubleshooting
Edging is not staying in place.
Ensure securing pins are properly inserted and the soil is compacted around the pins. In hard soil, pre-drill holes for the pins.
Edging appears to be lifting.
Check if any roots are growing under the edging and remove them. Re-secure any loose sections with additional pins.
