From Concrete Forms to Garden Beds: The Versatility of Bender Board
Share
At Howell Pathways, we've always championed the incredible versatility of bender boards. While many recognize its value in creating crisp, clean lines for bender board landscaping and garden beds, its applications extend far beyond. Made from 100% recycled plastic, bender boards are not just an environmentally friendly choice; they’re a robust, flexible, and long-lasting material that serves a multitude of purposes in both residential and commercial projects.

The Gold Standard for Concrete Forms
We advocate for our bender board as an efficient and reliable concrete form, a valuable use that goes beyond standard edging. Traditional wood forms often splinter, absorb moisture, and can be difficult to manage, but our recycled plastic product is superior. It easily shapes into smooth curves for patios, walkways, or custom concrete designs and reliably withstands the pressure of wet concrete without any warping or breaking. Plus, unlike wood, our bender board can be cleaned and reused repeatedly, offering significant cost savings on larger projects while leaving a clean, professional edge on your finished concrete.

Elevating Your Landscape: Edging and Garden Beds
Beyond concrete forms, bender board truly shines in defining and enhancing outdoor spaces. For bender board landscaping, it creates elegant, crisp borders that keep mulch, gravel, and soil neatly contained, providing a tidy and polished appearance. The material is excellent for constructing durable raised garden beds because it is inert and won't leach chemicals into your soil, ensuring your garden stays healthy. Its resistance to rot ensures that these garden beds will last for decades, functioning as the perfect solution for both lawn separation and pathway definition.

Beyond the Expected: Other Creative Applications
The robust yet pliable nature of bender board allows for even more innovative uses that solve common outdoor challenges. We find it perfect for creating protective rings around trees to prevent lawnmower damage and to provide a contained area for mulch and water retention. It is also a safer, more durable option than wood for establishing clear, neat playground borders to contain play sand or wood chips. Furthermore, its natural resistance to moisture and decay makes it an ideal material for cleanly bordering ponds or other decorative water features in your design.

A Sustainable and Long-Term Value Investment
