Plastic edging
• Install by removing a wedge of sod• Place the edging in the gap • The top of the edging should be about 1” above
the lawn level• Straighten ahead of time by allowing to lay flat –
(esp. important in cold temperatures)• Best to stake down to prevent winter heaving• New types are more attractive →
– more expensive
Poor Quality Installation
