With winter upon us and your garden in hibernation, this is the perfect time to breathe new life into your
outdoor space and get the garden ready for its year-round splendor: visual impact, maintenance requirements,
and most importantly, you have time to enjoy it.
A well defined and maintained garden bed instantly enhances the overall look of your outdoor space. Known for
its clean lines and versatility, the Steel Landscape edge can easily complement a variety of garden styles, from modern
and minimalist to traditional and eclectic. Its sturdy construction provides excellent support for maintaining the integrity
of the garden bed and access, ensuring a seasonally polished and refined look.
While incorporating metal landscape edges into the garden design, it also brings many other benefits to the garden:
Metal edges prevent weeds and grass from spreading
Flower bed edges not only depict different parts of the garden, but also reduce the chance of weeds and grass invading
the flower bed or landscape area. The metal edging creates a physical barrier between the plants you want and those you don't.
Without competition for nutrients and water for your plants to thrive, your garden bed needs to be greatly reduced by frequent weeding.
The unmatched strength and durability of steel garden edging
Steel is used for garden edges because of its unmatched strength and longevity. Its characteristic strength means
that any contact with garden machinery, such as lawn mowers, will not be harmed and will not wear out. As one
of the strongest metals, steel garden edges require little maintenance and no replacement.
Whether you choose corrugated or co-ten steel garden edges, their strength and weather resistance make them ideal for
variable climatic conditions. Able to withstand rain and extreme temperature conditions, the risks of deterioration or warping
associated with alternative types of garden edges are eliminated.
Landscape edges protect soil health
The key to enriching a garden is to ensure that plants have the best growing conditions for their type. Some plants need
direct sunlight, some prefer shade, some are drought-resistant, and some need regular watering. However, most plants
(including lawn grasses) are affected in gardens with poor soil.
Landscape edges protect soil from the harmful effects of erosion and displacement. Good soil quality ensures that plants
build a thriving root system so they can survive and thrive.
Note: If you cover your garden with mulch, you'll be especially pleased with how the landscape edge prevents it from
migrating from its designated space. When mulch moves, whether through wind or rain, it leaves unattractive gaps that make
flower beds or under trees vulnerable to weeds.
As you begin planning to integrate high-quality garden edge products, redefine the aesthetics and functionality of your
outdoor space. Whether you choose the timeless charm of a weathering steel edge or the stylish sophistication of a classic
steel landscape edge, each option offers a practical and visually compelling solution for easy year-round maintenance.
