Landscape edging can help a project look complete
Without landscape edging, a landscape project may not look complete. It’s important to ensure that flowers, rocks, plants, the lawn, etc. are kept separate from one another. Not only is this important from a design perspective, but it can be important to keep certain plants separate from others. As you look to choose the right edging, there will be three main things you’ll think about: The climate, maintenance, and design. Read on to keep learning about these three factors and then stop by Grove Hardware if you have additional questions.
- What will fit within your design?
- Climate is important
- Maintenance needs must be considered
You need edging that does its job but you also want the design to look great too. You have a lot of choices in material, colors, and even designs. Start by considering the overall design. Then consider what types of materials and colors will be used. Then decide on the right edging.
For example, let’s think about a backyard that’s been designed whimsically. It may not look great with classic brick edging, which often brings a more formal look to a yard. On the other hand, a more modern yard may look great with steel edging that not only looks modern but is practical.
California is such an interesting state in that the climate can change seemingly from one neighborhood to the next. As a result, the construction supplies that work perfectly at one jobsite may not be the best option for another site across town. Think about a location’s specific climate when choosing edging. For example, are you worried about rust? Then galvanized steel edging may be great, as it resists rusting and pitting, and is almost impossible to damage. It’s also great against most any gardening material, including fertilizer.
But that’s just one option. The key is that you should know how the climate may affect landscaping edging and then buy with those concerns in mind. If you need help, just call us at 909-544-4331 or stop by.
Every type of material has different maintenance needs. For example, vinyl requires very little maintenance, but it’s likely to lose color if it’s exposed to sun on a regular basis. Metal is both sturdy and requires little to no maintenance. However, it can damage the landscape if not installed carefully.
