FAQs
How do I cut the edging?
Use a utility knife or a pair of heavy-duty scissors to cut the edging. Ensure the cut is straight for a professional finish.
What is the recommended depth for the trench?
The trench should be deep enough to allow the edging to sit at your desired height, typically a few inches below the lawn's surface for a neat look.
Can I use this edging with a lawnmower?
Yes, the edging is designed to be lawnmower-friendly. However, avoid running the mower directly over the edging to prevent damage.
What kind of stakes should I use?
Use landscape stakes made from plastic or metal. The length of the stakes should be appropriate for the soil type and the edging height.
How do I connect the edging sections?
Overlap the ends of the edging sections slightly. This allows for expansion and contraction due to temperature changes. You may also secure the overlap with additional stakes.
Can I use this edging in a sloped area?
Yes, the flexible design of the edging allows it to be used on slightly sloped areas. However, ensure that the edging is firmly secured to prevent shifting.
Is the plastic material safe for plants?
Yes, the plastic material is inert and safe for plants. It will not leach any harmful chemicals into the soil.
Troubleshooting
Edging is not staying in place
Ensure stakes are properly installed and adequately spaced. If the ground is soft, use longer stakes or install additional ones. Re-tamp the soil around the edging.
Edging appears uneven
Re-level the edging using a level during installation. Ensure the trench depth is consistent throughout the installation.
Edging cracks or breaks
Inspect for damage. Replace the damaged section. Avoid using heavy machinery or tools near the edging during installation and maintenance.
