Instantaneous Garden Alterations with Landscape Edging
Even if you have a mature landscaping or a bare spot, landscape edging is a great way to create clean, well-defined borders between garden spaces, and give your garden a finished look. It’s also functional in that it keeps grass out of beds, while keeping soil, rocks, and mulch from spilling onto the lawn.
When it comes to selecting edging materials, there are several things to consider: the overall look you are trying to achieve, material costs, installation time, and maintenance issues, such as mowing. Concrete, stone and brick have a timeless beauty that can make a strong visual impact around garden beds. The upfront costs are higher, but the strength and durability of these materials will last a lifetime. There are also unlimited sizes, colors, and styles to choose from, making it easy to find materials that will compliment your landscaping. Another edging to be considered is metal edging which is usually made from steel or aluminum. Because of its durability and flexibility, many landscapers use metal for both commercial and residential edging projects. Steel edging it more rigid and is well suited to separating areas like driveways and patios.
Some plastic edgings contain enough flexibility to accommodate irregular or curved shapes. Although not necessary as aesthetically appealing as other materials, plastic edgings are economical, readily available, and relatively easy to work with. Depending on the type, plastic edging comes in large rolls, rigid panels, or in pre-cast molds designed to look like wood or natural stone. The only drawback is that some plastics may become brittle after long term exposure to sun and varying temperatures. One thing to keep in mind is that sharp, crisp corners can difficult to draw using plastic edging, and certain types need to be securely anchored with stakes to keep them from popping out of the ground. When possible, consider using recycled plastic products. They never biodegrade and can be recycled again if you ever decide you no longer want them.
Because of its natural, rustic appearance and affordability, wood, such as railroad ties, is a popular edging material. It works well for defining straight borders, but not for defining curves. Eventually, all types of wood will deteriorate and have to be replaced. Untreated wood is safe for the environment and actually enhances the soil as it decays. Redwood, cedar, and cypress are naturally rot resistant, but are more expensive than other type of wood. Damage caused by insects can be problematic in certain areas.
Living plants such as dwarf shrubs, and low-growing annuals and perennials make attractive edgings. Use shrubs like boxwood and barberry; perennials like alpine strawberries, lavender, or dwarf day lilies; annuals like alyssum, lobelia, or verbena. The possibilities and color combinations are endless.
Once you decide where to install your edging, use a garden hose or string to mark off the area, then measure how many feet of edging you will need to buy. To keep grass and plant roots contained to their respective sides of your edging, always dig a trench that is at least 4 to 6 inches deep and slightly wider than your edging requires. Install your edging when the soil is dry. Heavy rain can cause the ground to swell and cause edging to shift once it dries. Sink flush edging into the ground vertically until it sits a half-inch (or less) above the ground. To level concrete and brick edging, spread a thin layer of sand into the trench to create an even surface. Stone edging can be dug into the ground at the desired height.
Once your edging is in, use soil to backfill any gaps or holes along the edges. For other garden tips, log on to www.theyardbench.com.
