The pros and pros of EverEdge Steel Lawn Edging

27 June 2022

There are many reasons to edge a lawn with steel edging, including its great appearance. Below are the top five reasons.


1. The border edge is kept neat and tidy

No matter how well designed a garden is, untidy edges can ruin the overall effect and spoil a nice lawn.

2. Edging can provide a barrier to plant, weed and grass roots migrating across a border

If you're buying EverEdge specifically to keep plants or grass at bay, be sure to choose the depth that will best suit your needs. Many non-British varieties of grasses require a much deeper edging system than what we are used to in the UK.

The advice in Australia, for example, is to bury around 30mm of the edging to prevent grassroots spreading into the border. One of the worst offenders of water waste in the UK is couch grass, whose roots can stretch down 200mm.

3. Mulch and stone are kept in check

This is especially important when edging around trees and shrubs in lawns. See our article on tree mulching here.

4. Enhances and keeps the original design shape. 

EverEdge lawn garden edging is the ideal unobtrusive product to help create a definition between different areas of a garden. Although most customers will choose to have their edging brown, other colour choices are available to suit any and all designs.

5. Zero maintenance/upkeep. 

Once installed, EverEdge lawn edging products require no maintenance. Installed correctly, it is possible to mow right up to, and over, EverEdge and the entire range will stand up to most mowers, including tractor mowers. Once installed, it is easily kept tidy with a pair of trimming shears or a strimmer. Speak to one of the EverEdge teams to discuss the proper way to install.


EverEdge has been manufacturing steel garden edging products for over 25 years. To ensure a safe EverEdge installation for your lawn and garden, we invite you to speak with a member of our staff to discuss a customized EverEdge system for your lawn care.
