Benefits of Flower Bed Edging:

Edging can be aesthetically pleasing and serve some very practical purposes as well! Edging defines the space and keeps the garden contained by keeping the soil and bedding material from washing or blowing out the flower bed. It makes weed eating and mowing grass along a solid border much easier.

Landscape edging for planting beds comes in a variety of materials, designs and heights, all with similar purposes. Great examples are treated 2x4's or concrete/brick pavers. The border materials typically extend several inches above and below the dirt’s surface along the planting bed. Edging isn’t required for a planting area, but installing a border offers functional and aesthetic benefits for your landscaping. Border pieces can be created either straight or curved to establish the gardening area.
