Pro-grade rigid steel edging that makes the crispest, longest-lasting mow strip or gravel border, worth the higher price where you want it done once.
Pros
- Heavy 14-gauge steel holds a crisp, professional-grade edge for years
- Taller 4 in profile blocks grass runners and contains mulch or gravel
- Bends to gentle curves yet stays put once staked, unlike plastic coil
Cons
- Rigid 8 ft sticks are awkward to transport and can't do tight curves
- Cut steel ends are sharp and need care around kids and bare feet
- Costs noticeably more per foot than recycled-plastic coil edging
