The world of garden design is being continually revolutionised with the advent of various garden maintenance and landscaping solutions, not least of which has been the introduction of a number of different edging systems. Edging serves to enhance both the garden and the gardener’s experience in a number of ways:

1. Edging can be a great way to add structure to what might otherwise appear to be a rather unruly and unkempt garden. Simply by edging off certain sections or flowerbeds, one can create an ordered appearance to a landscape.

2. Edging can be done around or along any shape, giving the landscaper creative license in terms of patterns or following the curves of the flowerbeds in the garden.

3. Once laid, edging remains firmly in position and maintains it shape, so there is no need to keep reshaping the curve of the beds or pathways in the garden; one simply trims around the edging as often as is needed.

4. Edging is versatile. Who says edging is only supposed to keep the edges of the flowerbeds neat and tidy? It can also be used to make garden paths out of, to outline patios, to separate one portion of the garden from others or simply to make arty patterns in the lawn or paving. You can dream up all kinds of garden ideas and it’s almost certain that edging of some description is going to come into play somewhere in the equation.

5. It makes mowing and trimming easier. No more crashing the lawnmower into the flowerbeds as you push forward that little bit more to get the blade positioned over that last little tuft on the verge.

6. Modern edging systems are easy as pie to use, saving you time, labour and, in all probability some cash, too, since you can now do it yourself instead of hiring a landscaper to do it for you.

There are a number of pre-fabricated edging systems on the market today, including concrete, metal and iron edging, making up a wide spectrum of landscape edging systems to choose from. Most of these are made up of interlocking moulds, with various profiles, colours and stamp patterns to choose from.
