Customer Message
I was very pleased with the product and found that to could overcome a number of obstacles I hadn’t expected. I installed the edging at the nature preserve where we are rebuilding soil and restoring the forest that was lost to fire. The path I was edging had deep cedar mulch so hammering the edging wouldn’t work. Its sawtooth design was actually a big help. I tried trenching to bury it but discovered I could slide it back and forth like a saw to displace the mulch. Those teeth also worked like a comb when I encountered limestone rock where it needed to go. By using these techniques I was able to quickly follow the edge of the path and protect the native planted have planted there. Our only mistake was in getting too few of the clips to join the sections together. As is they were used in the critical places and small gaps were left elsewhere. This should help us keep moisture in the sloping bed when we water during droughts. This is a preserve in Austin, TX. Next time I’ll get more clips but otherwise won’t change anything.

Sawtooth Steel Edging Tames Mulch Path in Austin
Bob installed Edge Right straight steel edging to border a mulch path at a nature preserve in Austin, TX. The sawtooth design let him slide sections through deep cedar mulch and comb past limestone rock without hammering or trenching. He will order more clips next time since a few gaps remained, but the edging now helps retain moisture on the sloped bed and protects native plantings during restoration.
