EasyFlex Heavy-Duty No-Dig Landscape Edging with Anchoring Spikes, 1.7 in. Tall Straight Top Commercial Grade Plastic Garden Border, 20 Foot Kit, Black

I did have to dig down some to use the edging, only because of the ground the difference of ground levels. Easy to use, very sturdy material

I love this edging! To clarify, I do not use it as “no dig” edging. That was never my purpose. I dig a low edge for easy mowing purposes and to keep mulch in the bed. (I also think it looks more professional.) I then use this to line the edge. It helps keep the weeds at bay more effectively than just digging and the mulch seems to stay in the bed better as well. It’s also easy to mow around. Perfect!I learned about it through some helpful videos by pro landscapers. I had purchased other edging, but it was much more of a hassle.The only negatives to me:1) It is a large, fairly heavy roll, so you may need help moving it around. I’m a fairly strong, middle-age female, but I ended up measuring how much I needed and cutting off that length until the roll got smaller and more manageable. (The box arrived with a “heavy” warning label on it).2) The other thing is that you have to purchase the stakes separately.I thought those two things are easy to work around for the quality and value of this product, which is why I give it 5 stars. It is fairly easy to install, you can cut to length easily, it’s flexible and yet durable. It lays against the curved edges of my dug beds great and stakes in securely. Overall, the end result is exactly what I want.TIP: the ends can tend to curve in a bit since it’s rolled, however, I found that bending it back in the opposite direction for a few seconds straightened it nicely. I also didn’t stake it right on the end, but one or two holes down, which seemed to hold it straight better. Once the mulch is in the bed, that helps it keep shape as well.

Like other reviewers, I did find that within a couple days after installation it did get wavy. I used an 8" pin in every other hole and in some areas in every hole, and it still got wavy. I am in Florida, so heat may be a factor. For my purposes, I don't care if it is wavy- I just needed something to protect my landscape fabric when I use the weed-whacker. It works fine for that purpose, so far. It has been installed for a few months now and is very sturdy. Easy to install.

I have used this product for many years. I have some beds that have been outlined with it for more then 5 years and it is still holding up. So easy to use. I do spray round up exactly where I am going to lay it and then don't even have to dig up grass. Lay it down immediately and weed eat right up to it. Easy!

First of all, it is very easy to install if you have enough stakes and if you unroll the whole thing and roughly lay it on the ground first. The very first thing I did was run my lawnmower around the area to be sure my curves aren't too tight for the mower, then went from there.My heavy-duty edging came with 40 stakes. I also ordered a second bag of 50 to be sure I have plenty of stakes, but they aren't here yet. Because I will be plugging in liriope sprigs every 8" on the inside edge of the bed, I decided to rough-stake everything down first to be sure I like it; also because it's so hot outside, and I'm taking the advice of those who advised not to install this until it's cool to avoid breakage on cooling if it's stretched too taut when hot.I followed this strategy, using the holes in the tabs to count: STAKE one two three STAKE one two three STAKE one two three. Or, in my case until my new stakes come, STAKE one two three SKIP one two three STAKE one two three SKIP one two three. The distance between two stakes using this skip-three-holes method is 16" so that means the middle skipped hole is 8" and that will help me space the liriope. Skipping where I'll put in more stakes allows me to get the whole 100 feet rough-staked down so I can live with it a while and be sure it's what I want. I pounded the stakes in just far enough to hold the edging roughly in place. Counting it out this way ensures I'll have extra evenly spaced holes if I need to do a tight curve (STAKE one STAKE one STAKE) if needed. I'll go around it with an edging tool to score the edge of the grass to remove when I've got it like I want it, then use wet cardboard underneath and on over the grassed area in what will be my permaculture beds when I'm ready to stake it all down. Then I'll add lots of woodchips on top of the cardboard. I think it's going to work nicely.The only reason I got the heavy-duty edging is because other reviewers said the heavy-duty holds up better in the heat, but mainly because it came with more stakes. I'll have to set my lawnmower up higher with this edging because it's about a quarter inch taller than the other edging I've used in the past. But because I was careful to mow first to ensure leisurely curves the mower can handle, once the liriope grows up and out over the edging, I think it won't be an issue.

We put in a fire pit and had the grandiose fevered dream of a beautiful poured concrete and paver surround, exposed aggregate, pavers to match the retaining wall, a beautiful pathway of natural stone, and then I remembered how much I make, so I used river rock instead haha. We put this in as an afterthought when it became clear that the rock was not going to stay in one place, so chose this as to avoid digging up the rock and soil to put in an edge border and put it all back. It goes down nicely, includes a good amount of stakes or nails or whatever they are, and is very unobtrusive.One mistake on my part, I put the edging out in the sun to soften it before putting it around (the rock is in a fairly smooth circle) and hammered it down, and now that it cooled off it shrank and isn't a smooth curve anymore. Install it on a cool day. It still looks alright, and no one notices it but me, so no stars off, and it would be easy to fix by pulling the nails and driving them in a different spot after smoothing the curve out.For the price this is very high quality edging.
