Garden Edging

Q: How do you keep garden edging in place?

Often, there’s nothing special needed to keep the borders in place. You can hammer it into the ground at the required depth, and the dirt will hold it in place naturally. However, depending on the type, you can use pegs or cement to secure it.

Q: What are the best materials for garden edging?

Steel or aluminium is the best lawn edging, as it doesn’t rust, rot, or become brittle. It protects your plants, and you can paint it to make the border more inconspicuous. However, stone and wood are other excellent options, though these require more maintenance than steel or aluminium.

Garden edging or lawn edging is a way to make your lawn look neater and clearly define where the flower bed begins. It’s a great way to create a visual border and keep people off your flower beds and plants. Available in a variety of styles and forms, ArchiPro features only the best garden edging products in New Zealand from experienced suppliers and professionals you can trust.

Styles of garden edging

In New Zealand, you’ll find various styles of garden borders and edging and some of the most popular include:

Plastic garden borders

Plastic garden bed edging is affordable and lasts forever, requiring very little maintenance. There are several designs and styles available in this category of lawn borders.

Metal lawn edging

Like the plastic style, the metal one also creates a physical lawn edging but looks better. Steel and aluminium are usually used as they are durable and easily maintained.

Timber garden edging

Timber garden edging looks natural between your flowers but is often more expensive. While it’s stylish, it requires more maintenance than other options.

Raised borders

This option is the most challenging and expensive to install, but raised flower beds can give dimension to flat space and look modern and elegant.

The advantages of high-quality garden edging

High-quality garden bed edging ensures an elegant finishing touch to your lawn with crisp edges and smooth lines. The best lawn edging in New Zealand is durable and will last for years. Depending on the style you’re going for, it can make your yard look captivating and exotic, protect your plants from pets and lawnmowers, and more. Retaining walls can also serve as a durable and stylish way to edge your garden. The best garden borders also keep your plants separate as some need different soil and nutrients than others, so ensuring they don’t mingle is crucial.

How to choose a garden edging product that’s right for you

Many styles of lawn edging are available in New Zealand, but how do you find the right one for you? One element to consider is the purpose of the garden borders. Do you want to create a stylish and elegant space, or is it for more practical purposes? It could well be both. The size of your garden is also a factor to take into consideration. If your lawn is large then you need to think about how much edging you’ll require and the implications of that with respect to things like ongoing maintenance, costs and aesthetics. When it comes to styling, some like to coordinate their choice of material with other features in the garden like garden sculptures but this is ultimately up to you.

How deep should your garden edging be?

It depends on where you install the border. Driveways or pathways should have their garden border edging about 75 mm deep, but it’s deeper with flower beds or if the grass is involved. In those cases, your borders should be between 100 mm and 125 mm deep.
