10m Smartedge Flexible Lawn Edging - Black - H14cm

This Smartedge is a good product, delivered promptly by Greenfingers at competitive price. I followed the instructions and heeded others recommendations. Essential to create a slot for the product as it just wont be forced in (after first using the edging tool with which Id edged the lawn and thought Id created a deep enough channel) I resorted to a large spade pushed to its full length and levered (once) back and for along full lawn edge (section by section, as I worked) which proved quick; sometimes I had to pull pins through the holes with pliers (even using WD40), and I found pressing down the pins through the guide holes when pin and A frame were in contact with the lawn (which Id heavily-watered per instructions) worked most times (I wasted only two pins with my 40metres); dont let the triangular A frames bend up they are then difficult to try to turn back down once installed (thats in the instructions but an easy mistake) though using one pin per 3or4 holes there should be spares aplenty for fastening; single-handed installation I found OK, though it took time: lightweight product easy to handle, straight lines or curves mostly not a problem but beware the need to keep upright or have to reposition (though a sloping edge would be hidden by soli), A frames showing signs of being disguised and bedding-in in two weeks (though Ive not cut the grass short).

We have a small garden which we try to look after but it has always looked a bit scruffy. We edged the lawn with smartedge and it has really lifted the appearance of the garden. Even our neighbours commented on how good it was looking. I used a 50p piece to push the pegs in to halfway and then did the rest with a hammer. Otherwise the pins bend. Very pleased with the purchase and the end result!

This was a little tricky to install but it is tough and once in place is fine. It is ideally suited to installing on curves but not so easy to form really straight lines. sometimes the use of the pins is difficult and can be impossible but by using some temporary props of tent pegs I managed to set up the edging. the triangular pieces which grow into the lawn are a good design feature and will hold everything firmly in place. There does not seem to be an alternative to this product and it has really smartened up our lawns.
