Landscape Edging Install Guide
Step 1
We recommend that you rst uncoil the lawn edging in reverse of how it is coiled and lay out in the sunlight for
a few hours. This will help to relax the edging and make it more manageable. Keep it at while you prepare the
ground.
Warning: If you place edging on grass, its dark color will aract heat and kill the underlying grass. Allow no more
than 20 minutes on grass.
Use a rope, garden hose, or landscape paint to lay out a line where you plan to install the edging. If the edge will
be curved, make sure you include the curves when laying out your reference lines.
Step 2
At least 50% of the edging needs to be below ground, so while the edging is lying out in the sun, you can begin
to dig the trench where the edging will be placed.
With a spade, dig a trench along the edges of the paint or rope line to a uniform depth of 3 to 4 inches -- enough
to let the edging stand at least 1/2 inch above ground level. Dig straight down to create a vercal "wall" that will
support the edging. Place the soil o to the side to use later. Rent a trencher to speed up the installaon pro-
cess.
Step 3
Sink edging into trench with the boom “V” lip facing the rocks or mulch
Step 4
Drive stake through the n every 4 feet at a 45-degree angle using a rubber mallet or hammer (Image 1). We
recommend using 10” stakes, either steel or ABS plasc.
Step 5
For connecng two secons of edging together, cut ve inches from one of the secons of round top bead. A
small tooth saw or a chop saw is all you need to cut our edging. To make joints less noceable, place them away
from corners, sharp bends, and angles.
Aach both secons with a connecng straight or corner coupler (image 2).
Hammer the anchoring stake through both secons of edging into the ground.
Step 6
Backll behind the edging with soil, forcing the edging against the vercal wall of the trench. Pack down the
backlled soil by tamping with your feet or watering with a garden hose. Add soil to ll in low spots and then
rake the bed smooth.
