Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best landscape edging material?
Steel edging is the most durable and professional-looking, lasting 20+ years. Aluminum is lighter and corrosion-resistant. Plastic is the most affordable but less durable. Choose based on budget and aesthetic goals.
How deep should landscape edging be installed?
Standard landscape edging should be installed with about 3-4 inches below ground level. The top edge should sit at or slightly above the mulch level to contain materials effectively.
How many stakes do I need for landscape edging?
For steel and aluminum edging, place stakes every 3 feet and at every connection point. For plastic edging, use stakes every 2 feet. Use more stakes on curves.
