RECOMMENDED TOOLS
- Spade or shovel
- Rubber mallet

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
- Mark the installation area and trench approximately 3″ deep along the border. Place edging in trench, with no more than ½” – 1″ of the edging showing above ground.
- Secure the edging with anchoring spikes (included in kit). Use a rubber mallet to drive spikes through the pre-drilled holes into the soil at an angle.
- Backfill with soil on both sides of the edging. Compact soil to secure the edging and cover with mulch or stone. Ground cover material should fill to the top of the edging.
HELPFUL TIPS
HOW TO CUT:
Carefully cut edging sections to the desired length using a hacksaw. Always
take proper safety precautions when cutting, including wearing protective
eyewear.
HOW TO CONNECT:
An overlapping connection system is used to adjoining edging pieces. Slide
ends of edging strips together to connect pieces prior to placing in the
ground. For best results, overlap pieces 2 – 4 inches.
GRADE CHANGES :
Cut a “V” shaped notch in the bottom of the edging and bend to accommodate the
slope.
CREATE CORNERS:
Bend the edging around a 2×4 piece of wood or other solid object to achieve
the desired angle. 90-degree corner pieces are available and sold separately.
CREATE CURVES:
Aluminum edging bends easily to create curves as needed. Carefully bend the
edging to fit the landscape design. Aggressive bends can cause kinks in
edging.
ANCHORING SPIKES:
Anchoring spikes are included in most kits. Supplementary spikes kits are sold
separately.
