Weed trimmers and lawnmowers often get a little too close to paving materials and flower beds. To prevent damage to pavement, vegetation and to prevent rocks from being propelled by the mower blades, homeowners install landscape edging. Landscape edging provides a definite border around driveways, walkways, patios and gardens to prevent damage by lawn equipment and prevent spreading of paving or mulching materials.
Types
Anything you want to lay down around the perimeter of your flower beds, driveway or patio becomes landscape edging when you lay it into place. However, most homeowners purchase specific materials and supplies for edging. Common edging materials include bricks, stone, wood, plastic and aluminum.
Cost
The cost of landscape edging depends on the specific material you choose, and how much of the material you require to frame your gardens, walks, drives and patios. While costs increase over time, 2010 figures indicate that landscape edging ranges between $1 and up to $10 per square foot, based on estimates from Lowes.com.
Considerations
Sometimes the best things in life do come without a price tag. One of the most durable materials used for landscape edging, is a material you can gather from your own back yard at no cost. Installing stone borders in your landscape allows you to create a natural-looking trim that matches the exterior design of any home.
