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 aract 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 vercal "wall" that will
support the edging. Place the soil o to the side to use later. Rent a trencher to speed up the installaon pro-
cess.
Step 3
Sink edging into trench with the boom “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 plasc.
Step 5
For connecng two secons of edging together, cut ve inches from one of the secons of round top bead. A
small tooth saw or a chop saw is all you need to cut our edging. To make joints less noceable, place them away
from corners, sharp bends, and angles.
Aach both secons with a connecng straight or corner coupler (image 2).
Hammer the anchoring stake through both secons of edging into the ground.
Step 6
Backll behind the edging with soil, forcing the edging against the vercal wall of the trench. Pack down the
backlled 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.
