Product Information

This benefit sounds synonymous with the previous one. But, it could be worth noting separately. That’s because some edging types work primarily as root barriers. Unfortunately, many plastic edgings are not that durable. They could be too thin and get toppled easily by pets. Pro Tip: Edging can be a strong unifying factor. But, if it presents an unusual element in your garden, it can be distracting. But easy to install doesn’t always mean efficient. And efficient doesn’t always mean easy to install.

We’ve mentioned above that edging defines spaces. Between turf grass and garden beds, for instance. By evaluating how you’d want your yard to look, you can shortlist the edgings that could match your needs. Always consider the type of material you’d want to use and compare costs. In case you’re unsure of any factor, review our buying guide above. And more than the material, garden edging also refers to the process. Sometimes, it’s called lawn edging. Or landscape edging.

Some are more durable and even more sustainable. In fact, some cheap installations might not be done right. When this happens, you may have to buy new edging materials and spend more on redoing your lawn design. But if the railroad ties you’re getting are from a decade ago, it could be okay.

If you want to protect your plants from pets, using edgings may not suffice. You might need sturdier and taller fences for that matter. The Durability

The Dimex EasyFlex 3000-100C is an easy-to-install plastic edging kit. It could be a great DIY solution to your professional edging needs. It requires no digging, so installation could be accomplished in no time. Meanwhile, some plastic edgings are said to be “green.” That’s because these would have come from post-consumer plastics. Using them somehow lessens the plastic that otherwise ends up in landfills. And these can persist in the soil. So, it might not be wise to use railroad ties to edge your vegetable gardens.
