Landscaping Edging- A Defining Touch

Having landscaping is one thing. Keeping your landscaping well-groomed is another, as you may have discovered. And if you have discovered it, you are just one landscaping- homeowner among millions.

It's a given that effectively designed landscaping can transform a home from boring to dazzling, and with the current gardening aids and how-to manuals, doing so is well within the grasp of the average homeowner. But getting the plants positioned and planted according to a well planned design is only the first step.

Once you have the plants in the ground, you'll still be confronted with the space around them. Unless that space is clearly defined with crisp edges, your landscaping will have a slightly unkempt look. What can you do to prevent that look? Define it with some nice crisp edges.

And how do you do that? With landscaping edging, available in a wide variety of styles and materials.

Landscaping Edging Techniques And Materials

One landscaping edging technique does not require anything of you but elbow grease. Using a good sharp spade, dig a narrow trench along the lines you have laid out to define your plantings. Putting in a trench as landscaping edging won't cost you anything but time; you will, however, have to repeat the process each year. And if you are not rock-steady with your spade, the landscaping edging may be a bit uneven.

If you don't trust your spading skills, consider wooden landscaping edging, made either of long, narrow pieces of wood--railroad ties are very popular--or of wooden blocks. Wood, as landscaping edging, is a natural material, blending well with almost any landscape design. But it is not permanent, and will have to be replaced after a few years.

If you want something more durable than wood, metal or plastic landscaping edgings are available in flexible narrow strips which come in rolls of varying lengths. The plastic landscaping edging, in particular, is very inexpensive, lightweight, and pliable enough to use around curved flower beds or as circular edging beneath trees.

Many landscaping professionals prefer the durability of metal landscaping edging, but it will rust if not painted, and costs more than plastic. Both plastic and metal landscaping edgings are utilitarian, not ornamental, in appearance. They will add a crisp clean look to your landscaping, but that is all.

By far the most durable of all landscaping edgings are those of concrete, brick, or stone. Their long life will compensate for their higher initial expense. Each of these landscaping edgings is available in a range of shapes and colors, making them both ornamental and functional. If you wish to use individual stones as landscaping edging, you will have to decide whether to mortar them as a way to keep grass and weeds from rooting between them.

Landscaping edging, be it a hand-spaded trench or carefully laid brick, will add the final, defining touch to your yard, giving it that longed-for clean, professional look!
