10 Easy Pieces: Landscape Edging

October 9, 2018

Landscape edging is the paintbrush of garden designers—and one of their best-kept secrets. Just think: Where would a Roberto Burle Marx garden be without edging?

(N.B.: Want to know more? See our post Hardscaping 101: Metal Landscape Edging.)

A 5-meter roll of Corrugated Sheet Metal Lawn Edging is made of bendable, highly stable galvanized sheet metal with a thickness of 0.5 meters and height of \20 centimeters; €3\2 at Manufactum.
