Without a doubt garden bed edging enhances the aesthetic appeal of any garden or lawn. A neat and orderly landscape not only looks great, but it also benefits the plants, shrubs, and trees. This is a lesser-known benefit of using steel landscape edging.
Garden edging has been used for centuries to enhance the appearance of a garden and outdoor space. However, it also has significant benefits for the health of the garden beyond just aesthetics. Garden edging products deliver an instant polished look, but the effect on plant health also delivers long-term benefits.
EverEdge has been a leading manufacturer of metal edging for over 25 years. It’s easy to see why our steel garden edging goods boosted the transformation of NZ gardens, making them more beautiful and longer lasting.
As a keen gardener, you are most likely familiar with mulches. Mulches are loose coverings spread on top of the ground to conserve water, stop weeds, reduce the amount of work needed and enhance the soil quality.
The downside of mulching is it escapes from the bed and leeches onto the lawn.
Garden bed edging keeps the mulch in position giving the garden a neat appearance but also helping the flora to flourish and thrive.
Tree edging transforms a tree into a manicured and clean feature, but it also defines a safe zone around the tree trunk. Trees rely on efficient movement of water and nutrients between their roots and top growth for fruiting and flowering. However, damage to the bark can disrupt this essential sap flow, preventing the tree from being healthy. When bark is damaged it becomes exposed and vulnerable to infection, dieback or even the premature death of the tree.
A garden ring around the tree guards it from harm caused by lawn mowers and trimmers while cutting the grass nearby. Garden rings are hardy to garden machinery and are the only true way to protect trees.
The nemesis of every gardener are weeds. Plants that sprout in undesired areas are known as weeds, particularly grass, which is difficult to manage. The vegetation you want to grow must battle with the weeds for water and soil nutrients.
Garden bed edging prevents grass from encroaching on flowerbeds and eroding their structure and form. With restricted grass growth, the soil’s nutrients are more available to the plants you intend to grow, encouraging new growth and plant health. A healthy garden is a beautiful garden, and its beauty is paramount to helping you achieve your garden goals and create an abundant space you enjoy.
EverEdge combines the traditional practice of garden edging with modern advancements, including the feature of quick and easy installation. This allows for greater flexibility in creating custom shapes, while still being durable and long-lasting.
