Product Information

Full details

Smartedge Lawn Edging (50m) is designed for homeowners and landscapers seeking a durable, flexible, and low-maintenance solution for creating sharp, defined lawn borders. Its key benefit is the creation of permanent, mower-friendly boundaries that minimize grass intrusion into garden beds. A potential caveat is the need to ensure the ground is adequately moist for optimal installation, especially in dry conditions. This product is crafted from UV and frost-resistant polypropylene, featuring a unique A-frame design that integrates with lawn roots for stability.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the A-frame design?

The A-frame design allows lawn roots to grow through it, creating a self-binding, permanent, and structural barrier that stabilizes the edging naturally over time.

How many securing pins are included in the 50m pack?

The 50m pack includes approximately 450 securing pins. Additional pins can be purchased separately if needed.

Can I use this edging with a strimmer?

While the edging is mower-friendly, it is generally recommended to avoid direct contact with strimmers to prevent potential damage to the edging material or the strimmer line.

How long will the Smartedge lawn edging last?

Crafted from UV and frost-resistant polypropylene, the edging is designed to last for many years without rotting, cracking, or splitting.

What is the visible height of the edging once installed?

The overall height is 14cm, with a thickness of 2mm. The maximum visible height above the soil line is approximately 10cm.

Do I need to replace the securing pins?

The securing pins are biodegradable and designed to integrate with the lawn's root system. They are for the initial installation and become less critical as the grass binds to the edging.

Is the product environmentally friendly?

The product is made from durable polypropylene, and the included securing pins are biodegradable, minimizing environmental impact after installation.

Troubleshooting

Edging is difficult to bend into tight curves.

Ensure the ground is well-watered and pliable before installation. For very tight curves, you may need to make small relief cuts on the inside radius of the curve, being careful not to compromise the structural integrity.

Edging is not staying in place after installation.

Ensure enough securing pins were used, especially on slopes or uneven terrain. Allow sufficient time for grass roots to grow through the A-frames; this provides the primary long-term stability.

Grass is still growing over the edging.

Verify that the visible height of the edging (approx. 10cm) is sufficient for your lawn's growth habit. Ensure the edging is installed to the correct depth so that the A-frames are well-integrated with the root zone.

Securing pins are difficult to insert.

The ground may be too dry or hard. Water the area thoroughly before attempting to insert pins. If the soil is very compacted, a small pilot hole or using a rubber mallet might help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Prepare the Ground: For easier installation, water the area where the edging will be laid. Avoid installing in overly dry or compacted soil.
Position the Edging: Unroll the Smartedge and place it along the desired lawn border.
Secure the Edging: Use the provided securing pins. Insert pins through the A-frame sections at regular intervals (approximately every third or fourth frame is recommended initially). For sharper curves or particularly soft ground, more frequent pinning may be beneficial.
Integrate with Lawn: As the grass grows, encourage it to grow through the A-frame structure. This process anchors the edging naturally.

Compatibility:

Suitable for all types of lawns and garden layouts.
Compatible with standard lawn mowers and small ride-on mowers.
Effective for separating grass from flower beds, paths, rockeries, and other garden features.

Care:

The product is designed to be maintenance-free once fully integrated with lawn roots.
Clean any visible dirt or debris with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
The polypropylene is UV and frost-resistant, requiring no special seasonal care.
