The Secret to Perfect Garden Bed Edging
A beautiful lawn and garden are more than just a dream — they're an achievable reality. But we know from experience that a truly stunning outdoor space often hinges on one small, yet crucial, detail: the edge. That's why Howell Pathways is here to share the secret to perfect garden edging. Transform your yard from good to absolutely unforgettable!
Choosing the Right Materials
When it comes to landscape edging, selecting the right material is the first and most critical step. From brick and stone to wood and our signature eco-friendly plastics, each material offers a different look and level of durability. Our bender board edging is a popular choice for both DIYers and professionals because it is flexible, durable, and easy to install.
The Importance of Proper Installation
A well-installed border keeps your plants and mulch where they belong and prevents grass from creeping into your garden beds. Whether you're working on a straight line or a graceful curve, taking the time to properly prep the area and secure your landscape edging is essential for a lasting result.
Tips for Achieving a Clean Edge
Start by marking out your desired shape with a garden hose or marking paint. This helps you visualize the design before you start digging. Using a sharp spade to create a shallow, even trench is next, followed by placing your bender board edging carefully. Our materials are designed for easy use, allowing you to create stunning, professional-quality results on your own.
The Finishing Touches and Ongoing Maintenance
Once your garden edging is installed, the final step is to fill in the bed with soil or mulch and then apply the finishing touches. A well-edged garden requires minimal maintenance, as the border keeps mulch and soil neatly contained. We recommend topping up mulch annually and trimming back any grass or weeds that might try to sneak past the barrier.
