Why Gardeners Use EverEdge Flexible Steel Garden Edging?

Your garden maybe dormant at this time of year, but for you, there is another garden job you can complete, installing a pond. Autumn, winter or early spring are the best times of year to add a pond to your outdoor space – so there is plenty of time for it to settle and establish before the breeding seasons of the wildlife you are hoping to attract. Creating a pond is one of the most rewarding additions you can make to your garden, transforming your outdoor space into a wildlife haven while adding visual interest and a healthy dose of tranquillity. However, achieving a professional, long-lasting result requires careful attention to the finishing details – and this is where quality steel landscape edging becomes essential. Why steel edging is perfect for pond projects When constructing a pond, the transition between water and surrounding landscape presents unique challenges. Traditional edging materials often fail to cope with the constant moisture, ground movement, and seasonal changes that ponds create. Steel garden edging offers the durability and flexibility needed to create clean, defined borders that last for decades. Unlike plastic or timber alternatives, metal landscape edging won't warp, crack, or deteriorate when exposed to water. However, it’s important to note, that while it’s perfect for shaping wildlife-friendly slopes, defining planting zones, and giving a clean, sculptural look to your pond’s edge, we recommend using EverEdge garden edging on the outside of the pond above the waterline and not submerging it underwater. This will allow you to use either the Classic galvanised steel edging or the Corten steel garden edging without risk of leaching negatively affecting water quality. Planning your pond edge design Before installing EverEdge garden products , consider how your pond will integrate with existing garden beds, steel tree rings and pathways. Steel landscape edging excels at creating smooth curves and organic shapes that mirror natural water features. The flexibility of EverEdge garden edging products allows you to follow the contours of the pond precisely, creating seamless transitions between different areas of the landscape. For wildlife-friendly ponds, remember to incorporate shallow areas and gentle slopes. The metal landscape edging helps define these zones while maintaining the structural integrity of the pond's perimeter. This is particularly important in New Zealand, where seasonal rainfall and ground movement can compromise less robust edging solutions.
