The easy way to create neat, shaped or straight lawn borders! Smartedge uses its patented A-Frame design to bind itself into the roots of the lawn itself as the grass grows through it, forming a permanent, structural, and maintenance-free barrier which you can mow straight over, right to the edge. Being totally flexible it will fit any shaped lawn edge and once installed, removes the need to continually maintain lawn borders.
Features:
The Smartedge is 14cm high and has a depth of 1.9mm and is available in the following 3 different packs sizes:
Customer Note: In normal conditions it should only be necessary to pin every third or fourth A-frame.
Have almost finished installing it and think it will do the job which I have been envisaging...believe I will be very pleased with it when it 'matures' into the lawn. I would like to suggest it would be good to offer this product with a choice of depth...say 10 cm or less depth. 14 centimetres is a massive amount of digging and huge quantity of earth to hold in bags waiting to reinsert at appropriate stage. I think I only managed the preparation because the earth is totally sodden due the weeks of rain....it I had attempted to do this with hard London clay earth in the summer I believe I might have given up. Care needs to be taken when uncoiling as the serrated edge is pretty vicious which it needs to be to do the job.
A really robust lawn edging with an ingenious fixing system, how ever, I found the plastic ring nails supplied were not study enough to penetrate all the positions i needed to do a fixing, and once through the moulded fixing hole were impossible to remove without cutting them off. However I will purchase more of this product but use metal annular ring nails instead.
Not quite as easy to fit as the video. Hole in the "A"s not big enough to let the pins through so I had to drill them bigger. I had to order extra pins because I was not happy that the "A"s would sit and I was right. During mowing for first time one sat up and was ripped off. Sent for the extra pins and pinned all "A"s now fine. Extra work. Happy with finish but not about having to purchase extra pins.
To start with my lawn is not perfect and lays on clay so youcan't hammer the plastic in, it just bends. Had the same problem as other users. The holes for the plastic pins not big enough. Pins supplied completely useless and break when hitting small stones. I used steel nails in the end. Very difficult to get a straight run when the product comes in a coil. Having said all that the end finish looks ok. Would I recommend it? If you loose your temper easily, don't even think about it
