Product Information

Full details

The Smartedge lawn edging is designed for homeowners and garden enthusiasts seeking a durable and low-maintenance solution for creating defined borders. Its key benefit is the creation of a permanent, maintenance-free barrier that integrates with lawn roots, allowing for mower-friendly edges. A potential caveat is the need for ground to be adequately moist for optimal installation.

FAQs

What is the height of the Smartedge lawn edging?

The overall height of the Smartedge is 14cm, with a maximum visible height of 10cm once installed.

How many securing pins are included with the 5m pack?

The 5m Smartedge pack includes 60 pins and 120 A frames.

Can I mow over the Smartedge lawn edging?

Yes, the Smartedge is designed to be lawn mower friendly, allowing you to mow directly over it to the edge for a precise finish.

What is the material of the Smartedge edging?

It is crafted from heavy-duty, UV and frost-resistant polypropylene.

How does the edging stay in place permanently?

The unique A-frame design encourages grass roots to grow through it, creating a strong, integrated, and permanent barrier.

What happens to the securing pins over time?

The securing pins are biodegradable and designed to decompose naturally into the soil after they have served their purpose of anchoring the edging.

Can Smartedge be used for very sharp corners?

While flexible, very sharp corners might require additional securing pins to maintain their shape and stability.

Troubleshooting

Edging is difficult to bend or install.

The ground may be too dry. Water the area thoroughly before installation to increase the flexibility of the edging and soften the soil.

Edging appears unstable after installation.

Ensure sufficient securing pins have been used, especially on curves. Check that the pins are fully inserted into the ground. Allow time for grass roots to grow into the A-frame for maximum stability.

Grass is still growing over the edging.

Verify that the top of the edging is correctly positioned at the desired border height (maximum visible height is 10cm). Ensure the mowing line is consistently maintained just above the edging.

Visible pins after grass has grown.

The biodegradable pins should decompose naturally. If any remain visible and are bothersome, they can be carefully trimmed or removed once the edging is firmly established by the grass roots.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Creates clean, defined lawn borders with minimal effort.
Durable and weather-resistant material ensures longevity.
Mower-friendly design saves time and improves lawn appearance.
Reduces the need for manual edge trimming and maintenance.
Flexible design adapts to curved and straight garden edges.
Biodegradable securing pins are environmentally friendly.

Cons

Installation can be more challenging in very dry or compacted soil.
Additional securing pins may be required for complex shapes or steep slopes.
The initial setup requires careful planning and execution for best results.
Can potentially be dislodged if not properly secured initially.
Requires grass to grow into the A-frame for full stability, which takes time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Prepare the border area by clearing debris and, if the ground is dry, lightly water the soil to improve pliability.
Unroll the Smartedge and position it along the desired lawn edge.
Use the provided securing pins (or A-frames) to anchor the edging. Insert pins through the A-frames and into the ground, spacing them approximately every third or fourth frame. Additional pins may be needed for sharper curves or uneven terrain.
Backfill soil around the base of the edging to secure it further.

Compatibility:

Smartedge is compatible with most standard lawn types and garden layouts. It can be used around flower beds, paths, rockeries, and trees. It is designed to be lawn mower friendly, accommodating most domestic models.

Care:

Smartedge requires minimal care. Its UV and frost-resistant material means it will not degrade. Once the grass roots have integrated with the A-frame structure, the edging becomes largely maintenance-free. Cleaning can be done with a damp cloth if necessary, but it is designed to withstand exposure.
