Sustainability in the Garden: Eco-Friendly Edging Systems and Practices

Different types of landscape edging are available at home improvement stores, garden centers and online. Costs vary depending on the material, labor and installation costs if hiring someone, and the amount of specialized equipment needed to get the desired look. The most expensive edging materials include metal, stone and brick.

Plastic landscape edging is easy to install, but it doesn’t provide much of a barrier to stop weeds and turf grasses from spreading into garden beds. It’s a great option for paths, but it may not last as long as other materials or need readjustments from time to time.
