Flex Garden Edging and Retaining: Effortless Curves

For those aiming to incorporate smooth, flowing curves into their landscaping project, the Flex range is the ideal solution. Designed to bend and curve effortlessly, Flex is perfect for gardens that feature organic shapes or winding pathways. Unlike traditional garden edging that requires pre-rolling or on-site welding, Flex comes ready to install, saving time and effort. Its unique design offers incredible flexibility, allowing landscapers to create graceful curves without the complexity of more rigid systems.

The Flex range is suitable for a variety of applications—from defining a garden path to building raised garden beds and retaining walls. Whether used for straight lines, angular edges or intricate curves, this product ensures stunning, professional results. The Flex range is available in two finishes: Weathering Steel, which develops a distinctive rusted patina over time, and Galvanised Steel, offering a durable and paintable surface. This flexibility in both design and finish allows for easy integration into a variety of garden aesthetics, from natural and rustic to sleek and modern.

Perfect garden edging or decorative retaining, applications for Flex include pathway edging, raised garden beds and defining areas with different materials such as bark or crushed stone. It is also ideal for edging artificial grass where a clean boundary is needed—its versatility makes it the go-to choice for gardens that feature a mix of straight and curved elements.

Available in 75mm - 150mm heights.

Rigid Garden Edging and Retaining: Clean Lines and Geometric Designs

While Flex excels in creating flowing curves, the Rigid range is designed for straight, angular and geometric landscaping designs. Rigid is perfect for projects that require defined edges such as garden edging or decorative retaining. It brings structure and clarity to the landscape, making it ideal for pathways, raised garden beds and retaining walls in modern or minimalist designs. This product is perfect when a rigid, straight profile is needed to maintain the integrity of a more angular landscape design.

Available in both Weathering Steel (Corten) and Galvanised Steel, Rigid is durable and built to withstand the elements while maintaining its crisp, clean profile. Its robust construction makes it an excellent choice for both aesthetic and functional purposes, whether you’re designing a contemporary garden or constructing strong, long-lasting retaining walls.

Applications for Rigid include garden edging, pathways, raised beds and areas that require strict geometric precision. Its strong lines are also ideal for creating defined edges around patio spaces or other hard surfaces where a more defined boundary is needed. By using Rigid, designers can ensure their landscaping maintains clean, precise lines without any compromising curves.

Available in 75mm - 560mm heights.

Zero-Flex Garden Edging: Fixed Heights and Endless Possibilities

A premium straight-line product for high-end residential, commercial and public spaces. The Zero-Flex range is perfect for straight and angular applications; it encompasses three distinct profiles. The 75 is a very rigid profile ideal for the segregation of materials, pathways and garden edging. 100 and 150mm are our premium straight product.

The 240, 400, and 560 are the newest profiles in the range. They feature fixed heights and modular panels. Zero-Flex allows for the creation of various configurations, including square, rectangular, L-shaped and U-shaped designs. Think of it as a modern take on classic Meccano, providing designers with a high degree of creative control over their landscape projects.

The Zero-Flex system is ideal for free-standing garden beds, long garden barriers and even custom outdoor furniture such as tables and benches. It’s also well-suited for hard surface areas, including patios and rooftops, where a sturdy and visually cohesive edging solution is required. This system includes internal and external corner options, providing even more flexibility in creating unique layouts.

Zero-Flex is available with hidden fixings and bolt-down capabilities, offering a high level of stability and ensuring long-lasting performance. Whether you’re looking to build a striking raised garden bed or a unique garden feature, Zero-Flex provides the perfect foundation for bringing creative ideas to life.

Available in 75mm - 560mm heights.
