Concrete Edgers
-
Concrete edgers are available in numerous shapes, colors and textures. Some styles interlock for more stability. The color may fade, but concrete edgers can be painted with concrete or acrylic paint.
Brick Edging
-
Bricks can be laid flush with the ground or set on edge, upright, or at an angle in the ground. Bricks are available in several colors, including buff, tan, white, terra cotta and red.
-
Wood Edging
-
Landscape timbers and railroad ties are cost-efficient edgings for large areas. Short, stubby wooden pieces or wooden slats attached to wire backing are good for small beds, since pieces will bend to form curves.
Plastic Edging
-
Although plastic edging is low-cost, it is the least desirable in terms of appearance and durability. Straight sections fit into a trench flush with the ground, or shorter sections can be hammered into the ground. The decorative top section of imitation brick, stone or wood edging is installed above the ground by hammering the plain bottom section into the ground.
Other Types of Edging
-
Rubber mulch edging in strips of different widths and colors lays flush with the ground to suppress weeds while allowing water, nutrients and air through. You can lay natural stone in a variety of colors, textures and sizes, flush with the ground or stack it to form a barrier for mulch and gravel. Bamboo edging is made of pieces of bamboo cut in half and attached to a wire screen backing.
