Although it depends on the width of your particular edging, approximately 2 in 5. If the edging sticks up too much, you could hit it with your lawn mower and cause damage.
Cut off any small roots that are in the way of the trench. Use pruning shears to remove any plant roots that are interrupting the 3—6 in 7. Leave any large, tree roots that are in the way, however, as it will be easier to cut the edging to accommodate these.
Place the plastic edging into the trench. Push the edging firmly into the trench and against the garden bed. Make sure that the top, decorative edge is just at the surface level of the trench. Cut a notch in the plastic edging if there is a large tree root. Use scissors or a utility knife to cut a gap in the edging if there is a large root. Line it up with the root to check that you have the right spot.
Use a connector if the trench is longer than 1 roll of plastic edging. Slide the connector onto the end of each roll, so that the ends meet in the middle. Firmly push the connector down onto each end so that it feels sturdy and attached. The plastic lawn edging kit will come with connector pieces that you can use to connect 1 roll to another.
Part 2. Fill the soil back into the trench. Use a shovel to place the soil that you previously dug up back into the trench. Stomp along the curves of the edging with your feet. Flatten the soil to make it compact. This will push the edging outwards along the curve.
Install a stake at every 5 feet 1. Place the stake into the soil so that it is right next to the top of the edging, and the pointed tip is going towards the "V" shape at the bottom.
Hammer the part of the stake that is above the soil, to make the pointed tip go through the edging. These are installed in the same way. Water the edging to settle the soil. Walk along your newly installed edging with a garden hose. Water the soil on both sides of the edging lightly. Backfill the edging into any gaps in the soil.
Use your hands to push soil into any small gaps that you may have missed between the garden bed and the lawn. Check to see that the edging feels sturdy in all places, and add more soil to any areas that require more support.

Pound your wooden stakes maybe you chose 2x2s into the ground and then cut your edging sides one at a time stopping after every cut to glue that end to your wood corner blocks.
Ask at your home improvement store for help selecting an appropriate plastic-to-wood glue suitable for the type of plastic edging. Prior to installing your steel landscape edging, call your utility companies or , the national "Call Before You Dig" number, to inform the companies about where you plan to dig, advises Call Planning ahead, however, is important so you know exactly where to dig a trench and how to install the edging.
In locations for contours and curves, use a garden hose to map out the lines for your trench. Wooden boards work well to mark straight sections and right angles. After you have the lines for your edging mapped out, use a sharp spade to cut a thin trench along the hose and boards. After the pavers have been set in place within the design, position the paver edgings along the outside perimeter of the installation.
Make sure to set the paver edgings low enough, so that the soldier course is level with the rest of the brick. Stake the restraint every two feet at minimum, using extra stakes when securing joints and curves. Install the final row of pavers on top of the horizontal leg of the secured paver edging. Our paver edgings may also be installed up against the paver, with the horizontal leg on the outside, if the installation requires it. Paver edgings hold the pavers permanently in place, keeping the pavers from shifting.
When properly installed, the restraint should be barely visible or not visible at all. Pictured here, Doyle Brick Paving of Addison, Illinois, and many others, have had a good deal of success preventing spike heaving by using this alternative installation method. Instead of using the provided stake holes, a stake can be driven directly through the paver edging at the elbow, centered on the horizontal tab. This is done at a 45 degree angle toward the pavers. These larger widths will give a good depth to bury the edging inside the ground that gives the sturdiness needed to hold the materials back.
Stakes keep the edging in place. You should use 4 stakes per strip, with one being located at the lap. Stakes should run 4 inches longer than the face width of the edging for stability. Our landscape edging comes in gauge and gauge. However, contractors are usually able to accommodate custom sizes if your project requires a different gauge. The price will vary based on thickness and length. Manufacturers that sell edging generally also sell stakes. The sizes of the stakes will vary depending on the manufacturer.
Some manufacturers will also sell corners, a piece that connects two other edging pieces to create corners in your designs. We offer stakes in 4-inch, 6-inch, 8-inch, and inch face coverage. The corners can be bent to whatever degree is required. Most corners are either 45 degrees or 90 degrees.
