Edging refers to creating a defined boundary between different areas of a landscape, such as between a lawn and a flower bed, a walkway, or a driveway. Edging helps improve the aesthetic appeal, organization, and maintenance of a garden or yard.

Benefits of Edging:

• Prevents Grass Spread – Stops grass from creeping into flower beds.
• Enhances Appearance – Gives a clean, polished look to the landscape.
• Reduces Maintenance – Makes mowing and trimming easier.
• Defines Spaces – Creates clear separation between different garden elements.

Edging Materials:

• Natural Edging – Simply cutting a clean edge with a spade.
• Plastic or Rubber – Flexible, affordable, and easy to install.
• Metal (Aluminum/Steel) – Durable, provides a sleek modern look.
• Brick or Stone – Classic, long-lasting, and visually appealing.
• Wood (Timber/Log Rolls) – Blends well with natural landscapes.
• Concrete – Permanent and low-maintenance but more labor-intensive to install.
