Weathered Steel Garden Edging

Many people use DIY steel garden edging to make their backyards and gardens easier to maintain. Quality edging will stop grass from your lawn from creeping into adjacent areas where you don’t want it. It will also prevent mulch from getting all over your lawn or patio every time you water your flower beds. There are many practical advantages but aesthetics and longevity are important to most people too, which is where our rusted steel garden edging comes into its own.

The steel is designed to acquire an attractive patina in a relatively short period of time and this surface rust actually protects the steel from further corrosion. With our weathered steel garden edging, you can create beautiful flower beds, lawn areas, garden paths, and tree surrounds that will really stand the test of time.

With soil and atmospheric conditions varying greatly and a swathe of outlier conditions found in the field, we can’t provide a precise lifespan guarantee, but on average high-quality Weathering Steel can be expected to last for ten years or more.

Galvanised Steel Garden Edging

We appreciate that not everyone is looking for the rustic patina that comes with alloys in the style of Corten Steel. Garden beds in yards with a very modern design, for example, may look better when edged with galvanised steel. With this in mind, we decided to make our entire steel garden edge range available in both weathered and galvanised steel, enabling you to choose the solution that looks right in your garden.

The protective coating of galvanised steel provides an enduring edge in more aggressive coastal and urban environments. As the longest-lasting steel finish on the market, galvanised steel will outlast mild or weathering steel hands down, making it an excellent choice if durability is your primary concern when choosing materials.

Above ground or in-ground garden edging: which is right for your needs?

Whether you want galvanised or rusted steel garden edging, we have both above-ground and in-ground solutions for all your garden maintenance and landscaping needs. Our in-ground garden edging is available in profiles with a height of 75 mm, 100 mm and 150 mm while our above-ground edging products (aka raised garden beds + planter boxes) are available in heights of 240 mm, 400 mm and 560 mm.

With such a wide range of heights from which to choose, it’s possible to create all types of garden edges with our products. From virtually invisible lawn surrounds (designed to hold and define the shape of your lawn), all the way up to terraced flower bed walls that stand 56 centimetres high (to create visual interest and make garden maintenance less back-breaking).

Flexible, rigid or zero-flex garden edging?

Our garden edging and raised garden bed product range is available in three styles – flex, rigid, and zero-flex.

Our Flex garden edging can easily be shaped by hand to follow the curves of a flowing landscape design while our Rigid garden edging makes it easy to create straight (or very gently curving) lines in any area of your garden or backyard. If your lawn edges or flower beds are mostly straight with some gentle curved sections, the Rigid garden edging range is probably your best option.

Because our Flex & Rigid products can be easily connected together, you can design & install garden plans and layouts with a mix of straight and curved lines.

In addition to our Flex and Rigid product lines, we also manufacture a heavy-duty garden edging solution for perfectly straight edges, which we call Zero-Flex. With a profile that has stabilising ‘feet’ to anchor it in place, our Zero-Flex edging is a great choice for areas where you are worried that excessive wear and tear could undo all your good work. Zero-Flex garden edging (available in 75 mm, 100 mm, and 150 mm profiles), will stay exactly where you put it and is just as easy to work with as all our other edging products.

If you’re not sure which type of garden edging to choose, or you’d like to talk to an expert before making your choice, you’re more than welcome to contact us.
