Loosen the soil as you dig to make the ground ready for landscaping.

Edging should be at least 5 inches (12. 7 cm) wide for the best aesthetic appearance. Aim to have . 5 inches (1. 3 cm)of the edging visible above the ground.

Water the soil on all sides of your edging to help cement the edging into place.

Water around all the your edging to help bring the components together.

If you want to create a garden or planter with a straight-edged perimeter, opt for edging that’s made of steel, as it’s very strong. If you’re hoping to create a curvy perimeter, go for treated aluminum edging.

To make installation easier, get metal edging that comes with anchors or slots for staking. Water all around your edging once it is in place.
