Black Jack Poly Lawn Edging Kit - Black

The edging is great quality, thick but pliable, easy to work with, not like the junk at the big box stores that bends and kinks. The spikes are very heavy duty, we could have used a few more than what came with it, but we used large nails to supplement and that worked fine. We put the edging out in the sun for about 30 minutes prior to putting it down and that worked great, we could actually see it uncoiling itself as it heated up.

when you buy the store stock that is old and ridged with a smaller diameter top and try to install it and keep it down in the ground flat and smooth you probably rip the junk out in a year. No, this is landscaper grade soft large ring in the top thick and easy to spike. The spikes in the picture don't give it justice, they are hefty steel. I have one that used one entire role of this and I have one that was half the role, both radius's were easy to control and there are no flat folds. I think these probably will give me a good 5 years use.

It is a good, quality product, but it it comes in a backwards coil. Meaning, if you were on an island, that is how it is coiled ... does that make sense? All of my landscaping needs a clockwise coil, but this is a counterclockwise coil. It would not be an issue without the lower lip designed to catch dirt and hold it in place. I think that we could have gone with the clockwise coil and been OK. Instead, we were fighting it, using a lot of additional spikes from Lowe's. I recommend it, but go with the coil!

We used this around the edges of the lawn where our flower garden starts. It works great and looks good.

If you are installing this at the time of your landscaping it’s not too difficult. The ground must be removed on the landscaping side to roughly 4 1/2” to install the edging and spikes. Then back filled. I unfortunately had to replace some cheap edging that barely held itself up. So I had to push back the landscaping ‘stones’ in a 60’ section, peel back the weed barrier and remove the old junk and replace it with this quality edging. This works so much better, nice straight lines, holds the stone work-no problem. It also looks great. Super product!

After buying and installing this edging, I saw it at the big box store for 1/2 the price, different brand but identical product.

We installed this product a number of years ago, and it seems to have ‘worked itself out’ of the location, even though we followed the manufacturer’s installation instructions. It is VERY difficult to put back in place!

I followed another reviewers advice to let the sun help unroll the tube to make it easier to work with. That did help but as I placed the edging in the small trench it still was a wobbly look. So in the end I nailed the long side to a 2x4 and set that into the trenches with just the tube at ground level. Perfectly straight now with some extra time and effort
