Landscape edging adds definition to a well-landscaped outdoor space. Creating firm borders between lawn, garden, walkways and shrubs gives a groomed look. Decorative edging is a part of any landscaping design, and it can be a freshening addition to existing space. Edging is available in a range of materials, styles and colors to add both composition and definition to your landscape.

You add function as well as form
Edging stops soil and mulch from spilling onto your lawn. It also keeps gravel out of flower beds and keeps grass only where it is designed to be. You will reduce the time you spend weeding, and in general you will expend far less energy and time on maintenance with artful landscape edging.

We believe in board edging or wood to most closely match outdoor space; but there are several types of edging:


Board edging
This is very flexible landscape edging, yet it is a tough composite of woods. It is particularly helpful in turning hard corners into curves. Curves fool the eye into thinking a smaller yard is larger; in larger space, curves look more welcoming than a hard edge or hard turn in a walk, lawn edge and garden border. This is among the most popular of edging materials because it performs so well and is affordable. It is also replaceable if in time you have portions that have broken down.

Wood
If you have a large space, then wood can be used because pieces of wood are big. The wood is placed right on top of the ground, so while it looks natural it can’t keep nature from doing what she does: spread from one place to another. Also, timber degrades and warps over time, especially in our humid climate. This is a prime reason we recommend board landscape edging, which is a combination of wood’s naturalness and board’s ease of maintenance.

Spade cut or dug edging
Some consider this to be an all-natural alternative. It’s essentially “spade work”, to either dig a trench around a landscape area, or dig the landscape bed deeper into the ground prior to planting. This may also be the highest maintenance option of landscape edging because it loses sharpness and nothing prevents the spread of the dirt or weeds.

Metal Edging
Metal landscape edging holds mulch in and keeps weeds out, but it doesn’t add much in the way of design beauty. It is more or less for utility only, and metal has sharp edges which some homeowners find worrisome with kids and pets and bare feet.

Masonry
Masonry can be pavers or concrete, and looks rich and finished. But as a garden or lawn edging, it is not much more weed-discouraging than wood, because it, too is laid right on the ground. Unwanted growth can spring up in between the stones, increasing your weeding time.

Plastic Edging
We don’t recommend it. It looks phony (it is so often deep green) and it has to be replaced frequently. In summary, we tend to recommend board edging most often, because our clients are pleased with the look, the flexibility and durability. Clean edges made of board make the garden look more beautiful and clean lines accentuate the landscape design.
