INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Always use proper safety precautions when cutting and spiking edging.
- Clear the installation area of all grass, loose soil, mulch, and debris. Place edging in desired shape on cleared surface with anchoring tabs* facing the planting bed.
- Use a rubber mallet to pound anchoring spikes through the tabs to secure the edging. Pull the edging tight between spikes.
- Backfill to the top of the edging with mulch, river rock, or other ground cover. Assure tabs are completely covered with a thick layer of bedding material.
HELPFUL TIPS & INFORMATION
Site Preparation
Soil must be solid and level. Assure there is no debris between the landscape
edging tab and the dirt below. Compact the cleared soil prior to installation
to reduce spike movement from shifting ground and frost heave.
Weed fabric can minimize the spread of invasive weeds and grass. If desired,
install fabric according to product directions. Then, place the landscape
edging over the fabric and begin to hammer anchoring spikes through the edging
tabs and weed fabric.
Before installation, it is important to let the edging relax in the sun to
allow for thermal expansion. Installing the edging when expanded and pulling
tightly can reduce undesirable waves in straight installations.
Installation
- Certain conditions and landscape designs will require additional spikes, which are available in stores and online.
- Anchoring spikes should be inserted only to the top of the edging tab. Installing the spike to the point the tab bends will result in wavy edging.
- To connect edging ends, overlap the final tab on each end and pound spike through both holes.
- Backfill sufficiently to the top of the edging immediately after installing the edging. Heavy bedding materials, such as rock and mulch, tend to perform best.
*Tab designs may vary.
Cutting the Edging:
Cut edging at the midpoint between the anchoring tabs using hand snips or a
fine tooth saw.
