3 Creative ways to use steel landscape edges

Metal garden edging is a versatile option for the garden and can be used in numerous creative ways to enhance your outdoor space. Ordinarily garden edging is used to create distinct and clean lines between the zones of a garden such as the lawn and flowerbeds or the driveway, but its uses are not limited to these examples.

The flexibility of EverEdge’s landscape edging means it is the ideal companion for other transformative garden projects.

Let’s take a look:

1.   Tiered garden

A gently sloping garden can be a challenging garden design project, but the good news is it can also be the most effective. A retaining wall or steps can be overkill, so working with the natural gradient makes financial and visual sense. Steel landscape edging can be used to add form, dimension, and interest to great effect. Choose Corten steel edging to achieve a weathered it’s-always-been-there finish.

2.   Balance and define different textures

The best gardens are a striking blend of colour, form and texture. Texture is achieved through a combination of surface elements and plants working together (either complementing or contrasting) to create a garden that stimulates the senses. Using different textures such as gravel, bark chips and grass brings a visual excitement to a garden, and this comes from energy when you pair contrasts. Using the same classic edging to define areas as well as textures really unifies the whole garden, so even if areas have different uses, the overall effect is cohesive.

Gardeners are often put off using different materials because of the time and effort required to maintain the distinct division of material types. However, metal landscape edging creates smooth clean lines between them without the fear of them becoming mixed and diluting the visual effect.

3.   Water feature enhancer

Upgrading the aesthetic of a water feature or pond is a simple job that will reward you beyond the effort required to complete it. While the steel edging can’t be used to create the pond, it’s easy to manipulate and shape to create a border and hide the lining you currently use.

Not only does the EverEdge garden edging tidy up the pond and unite it to the rest of the garden design, but it also makes lawn mowing and maintaining the edge easy. Don’t forget our metal landscaping edge is garden equipment friendly!

These are just three creative ways to use EverEdge lawn edging in your garden design. There are many more possibilities for using garden edging, and hopefully you have been inspired to think outside of the box to create a garden you love.
