Which flower bed edging to choose

For a typical flower bed, Eco Border Optimal 20 m is a good fit: it is 103 mm high, and a single coil is enough for a circle about 6 m across with no joints. For small beds, go for Econom 10 m. If the bed borders a lawn that is cut with a strimmer, use Standard with its 20 mm tube, so the edge will not get crushed.

To keep the bed level with the lawn and let the mower run over the edge, choose the low Universal edging with stakes.

How to install edging around a flower bed

  1. Mark out the outline with a string line or a hose.
  2. Dig a trench 7–9 cm deep.
  3. Set the strip so that only the tube stays above ground, and join the ends.
  4. Backfill the trench on both sides and tamp it down.

Choose the colour to suit your garden: black is almost invisible, brown blends in with mulch, and green with the lawn.

Does plastic edging fade?

Eco Border is made of UV-resistant high-pressure polyethylene, so it does not fade in the sun.
