Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Plan the Layout: Decide on the shape and path of the edging. Mark the area with a string or landscape marking paint.
- Prepare the Trench: Dig a trench along the marked line, ensuring it's deep enough to hold the edging, typically a few inches deep.
- Install the Edging: Place the edging into the trench, ensuring it is level. Overlap the ends of the edging slightly where they meet.
- Secure the Edging: Use landscape stakes (not included) to secure the edging in place, spacing them appropriately to maintain stability.
- Backfill the Trench: Fill the trench with soil, tamping it down to hold the edging firmly in place.
Compatibility
The Apollo Gardening Lawn Edging is compatible with various soil types and can be used in conjunction with other landscaping materials such as mulch, gravel, and paving stones. The plastic material is designed to withstand typical outdoor conditions and exposure to sunlight and moisture.
Care
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the edging for any shifts, damage, or displacement.
- Cleaning: Clean the edging with a garden hose or a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris.
- Maintenance: Make sure to check the stakes to ensure they are securely holding the edging in place.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Refrain from using strong chemicals or solvents, as these may damage the plastic material.
