durable and will last and easy to place.

It looks great & worked well for “edging” my rocks so they wouldn’t go into the grass! It cuts easy with a box cutter, and bends fairly well. I feel if it were more flexible that I would not be able to keep it in the shape I created, so it is great. It needs more stakes than it comes with. The stakes provided work great, but if you have several intentional bends, you’ll want more stakes!

This edging should be easier to install than the kind entirely dependent upon digging. I have not put it in yet. My seven year old granddaughter will hammer in the spikes. She adores the little hammer.

This was very easy to use, looks very good and makes the flower bed very attractive.Recommend

My husband and I wanted to add rock around our pool but didn't want to pay someone to do it and we certainly didn't want to make the job any more difficult than it had to be. This was the answer! We laid it out to measure where we wanted it, staked it in, and cut it! It was seriously that easy! It holds the rock in so well and it looks so clean. I have used the weed eater right up to it and it is holding up like a champ!

The kit itself was fine. Some complained that the spikes were flimsy. Maybe for really hard soil... But in Florida sandy soil, they work fine. My big complaint is that when installed, the top of barrier tends to bow in and out making the while installation appear amateur hour This is why those old school plastic edging we grew up with in the 80's had a rounded plastic top which tends to enforce the structure and prevent buckling. I ended up going to the local orange big box home improvement store and purchased thick rubber composite ending that comes in 4 ft sections and, like this, is able to go around curves. 3 times the price, however looks way more professional.If you don't mind the amateur hour look, this should work fine.

I gave this five stars with a slight caveat: for my purposes, it is a five star item. Those purposes are to line the edge of a garden bed that is away from the house, with dirt and mulch on one side, and a ‘dry creek’ rock bed on the other (camouflaging a French drain).If you want those picture perfect round or straight edged beds next to your lawn and home, though, just bite the bullet and buy metal edging—plastic, especially at this height, isn’t going to cut it. Plastic will ripple and deform, especially in the heat if temps get over 90 (and in this day and age, there aren’t too many places left in the US where that will never happen). It says so in the fine print about the temp and the rippling.I live in a warm climate (7b), and yeah, it gets over 90 a lot in summer. But I’m not worried. A little rippling adds a bit of charm to my dry creek bed! It’s not trying to be perfect. But it needs the height I could only get with this stuff or with much more costly metal. If I needed perfect edging, I’d buy metal. I’m seriously considering metal and stone for the beds out by the end of the driveway, since that is for more public consumption/has to pass HOA muster. But for this particular project, keeping the mulch out of my French drain, and keeping the rocks out of my garden bed, this stuff is great.The pins it comes with are steel, but I didn’t want to mess with the skinny weird pins, bought a set of the landscape spikes for edging, the kind with twisty threads. My contour for this project was straight in places, curved in others, and other than a few choice words when I started (because even laying it out in the sun didn’t make the curl from packaging go away at first) it wasn’t bad at all to install. I have rheumatoid arthritis, and hard red clay soil, and somehow this stuff went down like it was nothing, all 132 feet of it (bought two, prob need a third short roll).For projects that involve a simple barrier that doesn’t have to look perfectly straight or perfectly smooth, this stuff is great. I’m filling in the soil side of part of the garden bed now, and when it is filled with the mulch on top, nobody is even going to notice the skinny barrier.It was a bit easier to cut with wire snips than my 1.5 inch no-dig edging was (different mfr), so I do wonder about longevity. But mine is well supported on both sides—covered with rocks on one face, and dirt on the other—so it will never see a tremendous dose of UV except along the top edge. Again, if you wanted to have one face exposed, this works best if you can accept some imperfections.What else did I learn? You need a lot of spikes to get a curve just right. I used about 100 over 132 feet. That may sound excessive; I was putting one in every five or six holes, but in some places, I had to put one in between those because it was twisting a bit or sitting weird.Another tip: instead of the apical hole of your curve, attach the spike to the hole just before that (working from left to right, go one hole to the left from the one at the center of the curve). It just sits better that way, like it needs to pivot off of a close-by anchoring pin to get the curve just right.Yes, there are a few caveats with this product. Another is that it actually measures 3.75 inches, not 4 as stated, for height. But I am using it with 3 inch high concrete edging blocks on the other (higher) side of the bed, so for me that wasn’t a deal breaker. Most things that claim a size tend to be smaller than claimed: rugs, garden boxes, plant pots all seem to round up these days. But I think if this stuff was taller, it would be futzier to control, less stable, so it’s fine.I will be buying another roll to finish the project, once I measure and see what length I need…

We ordered four boxes of this edging for a front yard overhaul we are doing, and I couldn't be more pleased with the product and our results. This edging is sturdy, easy to manipulate, was simple to cut, and now we own four adorable little hammers! Lol But really, if you're looking for a one and done tall edging option, this may be your ticket. We had a very hard time finding a taller edging that was in this tab style, and not the pound in or straight edging. So when I finally found this option I was quick to order what we needed. I knew the included metal pins would probably be insufficient for our hard clay, so I also purchased 8inch metal landscaping nails. The nails worked great for establishing my curves and straight runs. Then I used the pins to tighten it all down (where I could). Our end result was so much better than I could have expected. I knew edging was a necessary evil, but who knew the huge difference that alone would make. I can really see our final picture coming together, and this edging really helped bring it all into focus. Quick tip, lay the entire roll out flat in the sun, with weight at either end. Leave the edging to relax for a bit while you ready your project. This will help to straighten your pieces out, and make laying them much easier.
