Edging towards perfection: choosing the right colour for your garden

Garden edging is more than just a functional element – it's the defining line that transforms your outdoor space from ordinary to extraordinary. One of the most common questions we are asked at EverEdge NZ is ‘What colour garden edging is best to choose?’.

The power of colour in garden design

When it comes to landscape edging, colour is your secret weapon. Whether you're creating a sleek modern garden, a traditional cottage-style space, or a vibrant botanical haven, the right metal landscape edging makes all the difference.

EverEdge offer an unparalleled versatility for garden enthusiasts across New Zealand. From the Classic range of galvanised and powder coated steel edging choose from an earthy brown or timeless black garden edging; or choose our stunning Cor-ten garden edging which develops a rust-like patina with the passage of time.

Match your garden's personality

Every garden tells a story, and your garden edging should be its punctuation mark. Here's how to choose the perfect colour:

Natural and traditional gardens

Brown edging seamlessly blends with earthy surroundings, creating a soft, organic border to complement abundant greenery. It's the perfect choice for gardens that celebrate natural landscapes and want a subtle, sophisticated definition.

Modern and minimalist spaces

Black steel landscape edging creates sharp, clean lines that bring structure and contemporary elegance. It's ideal for gardens with geometric layouts, providing a bold statement that defines spaces with precision and style.

Rustic and evolving designs

Corten steel is often used for sculptures and installations, and with good reason. This steel edging offers a unique solution for those seeking character and depth. As this remarkable material ages, it develops a rich, warm rust patina that tells a story of time and transformation. Perfect for garden bed edging that grows more beautiful with each passing season. 



Practical considerations other than aesthetics

EverEdge steel garden edging isn't just about looks – it's engineered for durability. Unlike other materials, EverEdge products withstand New Zealand’s weather conditions, from driving rain to summer’s heatwaves.

Low maintenance: darker colours like brown and black naturally conceal dirt and algae, reducing cleaning requirements.

UV resistance: EverEdge steel edging maintains its colour integrity, preventing fading and the need to replace it.

Versatility: suitable for garden paths, flower beds, lawns and edging for driveways which means your defined garden spaces are united by sharing the same material and colour of edging.
