Edging - replacing them with something stronger?

[tsutton]

Hi all,

Currently, my edging in the rear garden is something like this, but very, VERY rotten. And breaks when I use a trimmer along it.

Ideally, I am looking to replace them with something 'stronger' and it can't be a straight line, as the garden have some curves along the garden.

What do you suggest I replace them with?

Thanks,

Type in Google m.

Paving kerb stones.

Will bring up edging stones etc, and the smaller ones can go around curves

Ohh, that looks interesting... thank you, will look more into this.

Cheers

Look at Everedge. Metal edging that is easy to bend around curves. Available in various heights and colours.

Looks good, thanks. But it's only available to trade.

But it does give me an idea, so will research more.

Thanks.

Not that I am aware. My trade isn't gardening and I have ordered from them in the past. I bought as a consumer.

Try the Classic range rather than ProEdge, it lets me order that online.

 

[Why Not Indeed]

Lots of sellers of generic corten edging on eBay.

How far does the edging need to go and will there be many curves along the edge?

 

[tsutton]

Straight line are the fence.

Edging is what it looks like with the curves. I am liking the Everedge that @pcaouolte mentioned - looks simple and can be bent around curves easily.

The design was already there when I moved in, so if it gets too difficult to sort, I might be able to redesign it in the long term future.

so, how much do you need - in terms of cost per metre it's handy to know.

 

[tsutton]

I'd say approx 10m or so.

Which do you think fits the aesthetic of your garden better - wood; metal or stone?

Fence are painted in slate grey

Wood wouldn't last long as that's what are installed at the moment - they're all rotten and breaks up when I use a grass trimmer.

So, metal and stone are fine, but the easier installation, the better. I would suspect metal as I can bend it as I go along.
