Use steel edging to create clean, permanent borders between your lawn and garden beds.
In short: Landscape contractor Roger Cook demonstrates the professional method for separating grass from garden beds. By installing steel edging, you can maintain a sharp, distinct boundary that prevents turf from encroaching into your planting areas, ensuring a tidy and well-defined landscape design.
To prepare the area for a clean border, the process begins by removing unwanted grass from the garden bed. This is typically achieved using a glyphosate herbicide, which effectively clears the space for the new edging installation.
When applying chemical treatments, safety is paramount. It is essential to wear chemical-resistant gloves and safety glasses to protect yourself during the application process. Once the area is cleared, the steel edging provides a durable, physical barrier that keeps the lawn contained and the garden beds distinct.
