I've ordered three sets of 8-inch Hammer-In Landscape Edging, but used them for an unusual purpose for which they weren't originally designed. The results were perfect! Here's my story. My backyard neighbor doesn't care for his lawn at all, and as a result, I had invasive grasses coming under the cedar fence and into my lawn. I believe it was Quackgrass, a type of invasive grass known for its aggressive spread through underground roots. It's impossible to remove by hand because the grass breaks off easily, leaving fragments in the soil that regenerate into new plants. Weed sprays have no impact because it's a grass, not a weed. After some research, I ordered 8-inch Hammer-In Landscape Edging from EdgeRight and pounded it into the soil along my back fence, leaving about 1 inch above the soil line. (See pictures for more details.) The 7-inch metal "wall" completely severed the root systems that were coming under the fence, and solved my problem! No more Quackgrass coming under the fence! I killed the few pieces that were already in my lawn by wearing a rubber glove, then a cotton glove over the top of that, and "painting" RoundUp on any unwanted plants. Worked like a charm, and with my new underground metal "wall" I won't have to worry about invasive grasses again!

Underground Cor-Ten barrier stops invasive quackgrass
Pete used three sets of Edge Right 8 inch Hammer-In Landscape Edging in Cor-Ten steel to create a 7 inch deep root barrier along his cedar fence. Hammered in with about 1 inch left above grade, the metal wall severed rhizomes and stopped quackgrass from creeping into his lawn. After spot treating remaining blades, he reports the problem is fully solved.
