I did have to dig down some to use the edging, only because of the ground the difference of ground levels. Easy to use, very sturdy material

Very easy to install and looks good. Be sure to order more edging stakes it does not come with enough in the box. Garaook Landscape Edging Stakes pack of 100.

I like this product. I purchased the same heavy-duty version several years ago and used it as the border to reset my brick paver sidewalks, and purchased it again recently to use as edging for some plant beds. Other reviews and answers to questions are all over the map as far as describing the physical characteristics, so let me start with that. First, it's made from recycled plastic, which is good. The heavy duty version is 1.75 inches tall (as opposed to 1.5 inches for the standard version). The heavy duty version is slightly thicker than the standard version, and worth it for the extra stiffness. The tabs used to stake it down are spaced 4 inches on center (actually 3 15/16" for some reason, but who's quibbling) and 2.5 inches wide.Although the product literature states that this edging is "no-dig", instruction no. 1 calls for the user to score the ground in order to set it below grade. I don't call that no-dig, but I suppose there might be applications where you might just stake it directly to grade. I wanted the top edge just above grade on the lawn side, with some depth for mulch on the other side, so that meant digging. A flat-blade shovel and a hoe work well. Other reviewers make claims like "I installed 150 feet in 30 minutes". Don't believe it! Even if you are installing it directly on flat grade with no vegetation, it takes awhile to get it tacked in place in whatever shape you want (with straight lines taking more time in order to get it right). If you dig, and use more stakes (see below), it's obviously going to take even more time.Other reviewers have noted that not enough stakes are provided, and that is certainly true. I purchased two 100-foot rolls and they come with 40 stakes (and several splice brackets) per roll - not nearly enough to do a good job. That means buying more stakes, which can be pricy if you buy the small count (25 or less) packages prompted by the manufacturer's ads. But, they are also available in 50 and even 150 count packages on Amazon if you look, and these are much more economical. I bought a 150-count bag (about $45) for the two 100-foot falls of edging (for a total of 230 stakes), and used an 8-inch spacing for one straight run and a 12-inch spacing for curves. You might be able to get by with 12" for straight and 16" for curves, but the closer the spacing, the better you can control the shape and keep it from warping, especially when it expands after installation when the the sun heats it up.Speaking of which, try to install it in warmer weather if you can, and unroll it and let it warm up in the sun. That will help keep it from warping at higher temperatures because it will have already expanded about as much as it's going to. I used small stones under some of the tabs in places where the ground was soft, in order to keep the tabs level when I drove them in and to keep it from settling. Don't drive the stakes too tight or they will cock the tab at an angle and warp the vertical leg.Like I said, excellent product. I would have rated it higher if they had supplied anything close to the number of stakes required to do a decent job.

I love this edging! To clarify, I do not use it as “no dig” edging. That was never my purpose. I dig a low edge for easy mowing purposes and to keep mulch in the bed. (I also think it looks more professional.) I then use this to line the edge. It helps keep the weeds at bay more effectively than just digging and the mulch seems to stay in the bed better as well. It’s also easy to mow around. Perfect!I learned about it through some helpful videos by pro landscapers. I had purchased other edging, but it was much more of a hassle.The only negatives to me:1) It is a large, fairly heavy roll, so you may need help moving it around. I’m a fairly strong, middle-age female, but I ended up measuring how much I needed and cutting off that length until the roll got smaller and more manageable. (The box arrived with a “heavy” warning label on it).2) The other thing is that you have to purchase the stakes separately.I thought those two things are easy to work around for the quality and value of this product, which is why I give it 5 stars. It is fairly easy to install, you can cut to length easily, it’s flexible and yet durable. It lays against the curved edges of my dug beds great and stakes in securely. Overall, the end result is exactly what I want.TIP: the ends can tend to curve in a bit since it’s rolled, however, I found that bending it back in the opposite direction for a few seconds straightened it nicely. I also didn’t stake it right on the end, but one or two holes down, which seemed to hold it straight better. Once the mulch is in the bed, that helps it keep shape as well.

Easy to install if you follow the directions.No negatives to state.

I unrolled the 100-foot EasyFlex coil beside a new mulch bed and let it warm in the sun for twenty minutes; the plastic relaxed enough to lay perfectly flat. With a rubber mallet I set the included eight-inch spikes every two feet. Even in our packed red clay the edging stayed rigid and upright. The built-in top lip is handy because I could slide landscape fabric under it before tapping each spike, keeping weeds from sneaking through later.The material feels thick and springy, not brittle, so I shaped a smooth half-circle around a maple tree without kinks. After two heavy rains the border still hugs the ground and mulch has not washed onto the lawn. I did pick up an extra bag of spikes to anchor the ends at sharp corners, a small cost that made the whole run rock solid.If you want a clean edge without digging a trench, this kit is the quickest way I have found, and the recycled plastic should last for years in the Carolina heat.

I have used this product for many years. I have some beds that have been outlined with it for more then 5 years and it is still holding up. So easy to use. I do spray round up exactly where I am going to lay it and then don't even have to dig up grass. Lay it down immediately and weed eat right up to it. Easy!
