VEVOR Landscape Edging, 40 Inch x 6 Inch Garden Edging, 6PCS Landscape Edging Border, 240 Total Length Metal Landscape Edging, Black Lawn Edge for Garden Yard

I just received this order yesterday and installed it today. It seems very sturdy and it was easy to hammer into the ground. I tried wiggling it but it will not budge. I purchased it to hold back gravel in a new garden area. It gives the garden a clean edge look that I like. Bending the metal seems to help its rigidity so I usually try to place the metal in a curved or serpentine shape to give it more strength, especially with gravel or rock. Bending it wasn't too hard. I just placed my foot on where I wanted it bent and then grabbed one end and pulled it up and then did the same on the other end. It's not a perfect curve but it still looks nice. I'm going to order another 20 feet right now for another garden area I am thinking about. The price seems very reasonable.

Short version: These are solid. Very thick and heavy. Easy to install if your ground isn't hard or rocky.Long version: We have intentional spaces in our sidewalk that allow the flower beds to extend through the sidewalk to the yard (see picture). I didn't want the rocks in the flower bed spilling out to the yard so I needed some sort or barrier along the edge of the sidewalk. I can't stand that plastic edging junk that is cheap and easy to find as it is a pain to install and doesn't hold up well. So, I gave this product a try. It is very thick and sturdy. I used a block of wood and a hammer to force it down in the ground along the edge of the flower bed. DO NOT hit the metal itself with a hammer as this will warp the metal and damage the finish. My method was to lay the wood on the product and hit the wood with the hammer, working my way from one end to the other and back until the whole thing was buried to the depth I wanted. I could tell I hit rocks in a few spots and that was pretty difficult, just more pounding with the hammer than in the rock-free spots. I had to turn a corner with this edging and that was when I really started to appreciate how robust this material is. It is HARD to bend. I got it done, though, and it looks great. Already had a few compliments on how sleek and clean it looks. Can't speak for the long term durability of the black finish yet but I suspect it will be just fine.

We have a very large plot in the front lawn, and bought several sets of this edging. We bought 8" edging, sinking it 7" with a 1" sticking out to weed wack against. Trying to prevent Soysia grass from climbing into the newly rototiller plot. Pros- the pieces were easier to bend than I expected, (but you need two people to make the slightest curve.)These are very sturdy, have good 'spikes' on the bottom for getting them into the soil. The stakes that hold the joints together look really nice. (see the cons side of that) As recommended the rubber mallet worked great. (see cons for that, too) Cons- The stakes that came with this 'splay' out as they go into the soil, and don't hold the overlapping ends together on a curve. We aren't sure from the pictures how much the pieces should overlap. YOUR RUBBER MALLET WILL BE SHREDDED. One side of ours was unusable so we had to go to the other side. That'll be shredded, too. This would work better with two people with two rubber mallets, but who wants to destroy two rubber mallets?Some of our boxes came with no stakes. We'll have to somehow contact the company about that.

Finally found the perfect landscape edging! Very sturdy and fairly easy to install Should last a long time! So much better than the plastic edging seen in the big box stores!

The products look nice, but the boxes were damaged and open upon arrival. They looked like there were returned products and just patched up the boxes. So I ordered the 3 replacements to get the stakes. They all came with damaged boxes without stakes. The company's product service cannot reach the manufacturer in China to send me the stakes. So I have my front yard path with gaps because I can't seem to get the stakes. Very frustration... If I knew how difficult and stressful to receive what I ordered, I would have purchased different products.

If your goal is to maintain an edge on a slope, forget plastic edging and pony up for this product. It has the strength you really want, and it's easier to pound this in than to dig a channel for plastic.

This worked well for a sidewalk garden edge. Be sure to clear tree roots and use a block of wood with a 2 lb sledge to drive it in. My application is straight. Some have noted problems with curves, but be aware this is an 8” strip of 16 gauge steel. I think to get a good result, one would need to find a metal working shop (like maybe trim and gutter fabrication) who have a powered slip roller. There may be other ways but trying to bend it manually might be just too tough.

First of all, this edging was great. Comes with extra connectors which is good. To avoid acute angles at your joints, overlap the panels for a few inches and use more than one connector. Make sure to use a two pound sledge hammer with a thick block of wood. It will make your life a LOT easier. Also, not a bad idea to water the area you are installing prior to installation day. Does not do well for 90 bends. However, you can curve it along a sidewalk no problem whatsoever. I’m very satisfied with the product.

The quality and look of this product is great. I have been looking for a few years for an affordable nonplastic edging and this is it. So happy with my purchase . I will buy it again for my next garden project.

Very impressed with how thick and strong this edging feels and looks (not the flimsy aluminum edging you get at the big box stores).I can definitely see how some reviewers might complain about having a hard time bending this... it can take a bit of muscle, and a lot of time to make the metal stay at some type of curved form.But for my purposes (straight and a few 90degree bends), it was was perfect.

Good Product
