Metal Garden Edging for Pathways and Walkways: Enhancing Safety and Aesthetics
The most common types of metal landscape edging are steel and aluminum. Both are able to be formed by hand to create the desired aesthetic. Steel edging will naturally rust over time and creates a patina look that can complement traditional cottage gardens as well as more formal garden designs. The rusting process also helps to protect the inner metal from further deterioration, ensuring the edging will last for many years.
Unlike other types of metal edging, which require the use of chemicals to prevent corrosion, steel products can be used with confidence in the garden. Each length of edging comes with straight joining plates and ground pegs which can be driven into the soil using a mallet. The pins can also be extended to provide added stability if the ground is soft. If a corner needs to be made, simply make a one inch slit in the edging strip and bend it into shape.
