24 ft. x 4 in. Silver Aluminum Landscape Edging Project Kit (4 - 6 ft. pieces)

ProFlex Silver Aluminum Edging takes a little work to install, but the results look great! If you are looking for clean looking edging, that isn't bulky or made of plastic, this is a great product.

I don't usually use edging in my gardens, but decided I had to in this case because my condo's ground crew is out of control with their weed whackers (they cut off plants and even turn my metal garden stakes into pretzels). I was dreading this project and thought it would take all afternoon, but it only took an hour and a half (for a 40' border) and I had fun doing it!!! It looks great, and I don't even like edging, as a rule. I'm very glad I decided to spring for the metal edging (people seem to have big problems with the cheaper plastic stuff). I followed the directions (many reviewers of this product clearly didn't) and also paid attention to tips that competent reviewers wrote. I will emphasize these and add couple tips of my own. 1) Properly prepare the border where the edging is going. Doing this will save time and headache later. Cut your curves or straight lines as perfectly as you can, and make sure one side is nicely vertical, leaving a trench on the other side. 2) Connect all the sections in advance and in a clean area, like a lawn or driveway. I think trying to connect them as you go would be a major problem. 3) Even if your connections have a good four inches or more overlap, as mine did, tape them together before moving the edging "ribbon". Doing this keeps them from sliding apart, and you can either remove the tape later, or tape it where it will be buried. I thought it might be hard to move my 40' "ribbon" into position, but it turned out to be easy, and the edging conformed to my curve naturally. 4) Backfill a little bit, between the spike holes and pack it so the edging is secured into place, before driving in the spikes.

Aligning and inserting the sections together is somewhat tedious but if you are patient, the sections slide together. I strongly recommend putting all the sections together that you will need for your entire bed since aligning and sliding sections together after the pieces are in the dirt will be next to impossible. Another tip is if you have or can borrow a power edger or bed definer it will create a perfect trench to insert the edging while avoiding the back-breaking labor of using a straight spade to do this. The product is significantly less expensive if you don’t need a color.

The product worked well for our purposes, we will be ordering more. The most difficult part is getting them connected, sliding one end into the end of another. For longer runs, we put several together at a time, it would be really difficult to do it on the ground.

Been getting these over the years for edging all around the House. These last ones seemed a bit thinner than in years past. But, I like them. Takes time if you want to get them nice and straight for a long run. Easy to cut and bend. These go by different names. "Easy Flex" Pro Flex" but they all look the same.

This edging looks great. I used it for a rock path between houses. I read other reviews and agree, it is much easier to slide the pieces together when they are lying flat. I recommend overlapping the pieces more than the suggested 4” until you get it into position. It was easy to secure the edging in curved position. The stakes are a good length. This edging is so much nicer than the plastic kind. I would have given 5 stars if longer sections were available. These pieces are 6’ but you lose 4” for overlap. I would like an 8’ length option.

Zoysia grass is known for its long runners. These runners kept popping up in my mulched flower beds. So previously I bought 6 boxes (6 x 24 feet) which have been in place for over 2 years (see pict). They still look great. The grass occasionally still tunnels under the 4" edging, but it is easy to pull up 1 or 2 runners where before it was literally dozens. Recently I extended one 24' run further in the back yard to help keep that area clean of runners. This is high quality and easy to install, but more importantly it will last and keep its shape. You will never get as clean a line or curve with typical rubber or vinyl edging. If you want pro-quality look and feel, this is the best option. The only down side is that it costs over $40 to do 24 linear feet (hence the 4 stars). You get what you pay for, it 'ain't' cheep, but it is worth it. (Someday I hope to do the whole yard, but for now the front looks great)

Easy to assemble and easy to shape to your needs.

This is the second time I purchased this edging. It is very strong and easy to use. The pieces slide together and are very easy to form into the shape you need. I've used this to make square bends and curves with no problem. Very sturdy. Had some issues with the packaging the first order but none since and all the items were included in both shipments. I recommend this landscape edging.

I would have given this product 5 stars, BUT on my last order 2 of the 3 edging boxes I received did not have the anchoring spikes. Called Home Depot customer service a week ago...they were supposed to call the manufacturer for replacement parts. Called HD today....call to manufacturer never placed. I will be calling the manufacturer in Ohio tomorrow. Product works great. I am using it to build track support for an LGB outdoor train. I recommend ordering the box of 100 steel landscape 12" spikes at the same time. And why should we buy American?????

The product assembles easily, the sections interlock each other to form one long length as needed. It gets secured to the ground by a series of long spikes driven through the holes on the side at an angle. When I secured mine ,I back filled with gravel to keep section from tilting in and maintained a straight edge. I've looked at other edging material but none locked together, or were able to form like this kit.

This product is awesome. Haven't gone through a VT winter yet to see if it will hold up or rust, but so far so good. It is easy to mold into any shape you want. Easy to install. I used it in a commercial application. I highly recommend this product to anyone who can bend over and drive a nail into the ground.

This did exactly what we needed it to do! My husband is adding more hardscaping to the yard, and he needed something to edge the grass where the new paths and patio were going in. Most of the addition was curvy, so the edging had to be flexible. The EasyFlex did the trick! Installation was easy (especially for me, since I just watched), and it rounded the half-circle and curves just fine. The huge stakes keep it in, and the leftover stakes will come in handy if we get attacked by vampires (I know the stakes aren't real silver, but maybe the vampires won't notice). Next step is concrete, again in a circular shape, so we may experiment with our leftover EasyFlex to see if it will work for that!

Initially I was deciding between this and one of the plastic options. This one seemed better, no worrying about cracking, fading or coming out of the ground like so many I've seen. The connection between each strip has a groove and they slide together, so they can't come apart. Installation was very easy - just dig a channel, connect all of the strips you will need and then hammer them in with the metal spikes provided. Going around curves was easy as well.

I've always used plastic edging for the cost savings but never really liked how it looked. The bronze finish on this product is very attractive and seems durable. I'm surpised at how flexible it is considering it doesn't feel flimsy. I was able to flex it 90 degrees without it creasing. In the package you get four sections of edging at 72" each and twelve metal spikes. The edging is lipped, top and bottom, enabling you to lock sections together and can be slid however much you need to adjust for length. Although the instructions say you can use a saw to trim it I don't see a need considering the way the sections tie together and can be shortened just by sliding one piece over another. I highly recommend this product and intend to purchase more.

We purchased 4 boxes of this edging for our landscape project and we are totally satisfied. Once you engage one piece with the next by sliding into the slots on the upper and lower edge of each piece, it gets easier and easier. We just took a pick axe and made the curves around the planting beds, about 3 inches deep, curved the pieces and set them with the spikes in the kit. Then we backfilled with dirt and finished with river rock, see pics. We would recommend this system to anyone, it was so easy. We used the bronze color edging.

I have used plastic and stone borders before, but this edging does it all. It is recessed in a trench and should prevent grass from creeping through and not move or change shape over time. I would like to add a few tips for the next person that installs it. 1. Wear gloves when sliding the two pieces together. I sliced my thumb when they slid together but was still able to install around a tree.Black electrical tap would work well also. 2. As others suggested, I taped over the spike holes with clear packing tape on both sides. 3. Using the claw end of a hammer to dig the trench worked best. I put the circle around the tree a little larger than the installed size so I could use it as a template to start the first trench at about 1/2" depth and moved the ring to dig deeper. Sliding the overlap joints another inch or so so it fit perfectly in the trench. 4. Used a wonder bar for trenching along a concrete walk way after a good rain worked perfectly to push any rocks or buried debris clear. After laid in the trench, a short 2x4 was used to tap the edging down to the correct level.

This product was exactly what I was looking for: lightweight but strong aluminum, well designed, and great color. As one woman with a shovel and hammer, I can say that the instructions were good, and installation was easy. The only thing that slowed me down at all was the clay soil I had to dig in (I'm a senior citizen)….

This edging is a different design than types I've used in the past but wanted to give it a try to see if it would benefit a few certain flower beds at my home. It is fairly simple to install, the lengths will slide into each other at the ends and they come with slots for the supplied long spike nails to drive it down. The two things I wasn't very big on was that it's a bit difficult to get the edge to align straight up with the supplied nails when trying to place the edging against a concrete edge - I really couldn't get it as close as I would have liked despite trying multiple times. For reference, I put this at the concrete edge as a means to go higher up with mulch and prevent the mulch from regularly falling onto the concrete walkway. The only other downside is that, although not immediately obvious, it is noticeable where the lengths overlap. Other styles typically have a spacer that will go between lengths to avoid the overlap. Again, not immediately recognizable but it is noticeable. In any case, I am fairly pleased with the result but I think I'll carefully consider where I would need this in the future as it would be more practical for areas where concrete is not already there.

Easy flex aluminum edging was extremely easy to install! It only took me a couple of hours and installed it all by myself! If I can do it, anyone can! Beautiful results.

This is a great kit for quick edging around trees or other mulched areas. I used it clean up the mulch bed around a tree in my front yard that I was constantly raking to get the mulch out of the grass. This edging kit has given the tree and the mulch a nice clean look. Installation was fairly simple. Dig a 4" trench where you want the edge to be. Shape the edging and place it in the trench. Drive the spikes at an angle through the holes in the edging. The hardest part was cleaning out the trench to get the edging to sit level all around the mulch bed. I have terrible, rocky soil that is more clay than dirt. It's not an issue with the kit itself, but in order to get the edge to install correctly and be level all around your project area, you have to get the trench right. With clean up, the whole install took me between 2 and 2-1/2 hours. I think working in better soil could cut that time in half.

Despite UPS dropping 1 on of the 3 boxes off the truck (i assume) the edging arrived in good shape without any bent channels. The pieces slid together easily and secure to the ground w/ the supplied stakes. Making corners like others have suggested is easy. Just cut the edging halfway w/ a hack saw or jig saw, bend over a 2x4 and bury the cut side down because it is sharp. Very clean look!

This edging material is a big step up from what is carried in the stores. Anyone can use and in many different applications. I removed the old plastic edging with the round tube on top of it, looked very amateurish and replaced it with the Easyflex aluminum edging product. I'm surprised HD doesn't elect to carry it in their stores.

EasyFlex 24 ft. Aluminum Landscape Edging This edging is terrific. I installed a bronze kit around a tree in my front yard and this black kit around a tree in the back yard. These kits each came with four six foot sections of aluminum edging and 12 anchoring spikes. The edging is designed so that you can slide the pieces together giving you a sturdy and almost seamless install. I used a string to measure and layout approximately where I wanted my edging to be installed, I then used a pick and gardening spade to dig a small trench about 3 inches deep around the trees, next I formed the edging to the correct contour by bending it around my stomach. Once I had the shape I wanted I set the edging in the trench and slid the pieces together, I then staked it down using the included anchoring spikes. If you do not need to use the entire 24 feet of edging you can simply cut it down using a hack saw. Once it was installed in the trench I filled the trench back in with the dirt I had removed. It required about 2.5 bags of mulch to fill each ring. Total time to install was about 90 minutes per tree. If you dig the small trench and back fill it I am not sure you would really need to use the anchoring spikes. I found this edging the be excellent and would highly recommend it. Pros: Easy installation Looks great Good instructions Should last for many years Cons: None

The first time I use this product , easy install , need to wearing gloves to protect your hands, can curve easily.

I wanted to use the EASYFLEX to replace another brand that I used but it was made of plastic. After less than a year the plastic began fading and developed cracks and chips from regular lawn care. I first wanted to test EASYFLEX on my smaller tree rings. The EASYFLEX is pretty simple to work with however it doesn't perform tight turns too well - something I expected with any metal edging. I was able to conform the EASYFLEX into my small 21" circle with the use of ratchet tie-down strap. It worked quite well but the EASYFLEX tends to bend easier at the slotted holes made for the stakes. It's also difficult to slide the ends into each other to lock. This is not the design of EASYFLEX so I don't fault the product. I was making a circle tighter than what the material was intended for. In the end I got the result I wanted. I did not need the stakes - once I got a 1/3 of the EASYFLEX into the ground it held securely. Overall the EASYFLEX is a nice design with the ability to interlock running lengths together or onto itself as I did with my tree rings. The paint does scrape off if not too careful. My only complaint is the stake system and the slotted holes. I think a better staking system could be made. The stakes are provided and are really huge nails. They are metal and will rust but the effectiveness of the stake system is questionable since it is pinning the EASYFLEX at the middle point and done so at an angle. I chose to bury about a 1/3 of the EASYFLEX and it worked well. I did not "cut" the ground first but rather wet the area where I intended to install the EASYFLEX with a water hose and then using a rubber mallet drove the EASYFLEX into ground. Doing it this way seemed to keep the EASYFLEX tighter in the ground versus cutting the ground with a shovel. I believe the EASYFLEX will hold up much better than the plastic system.

This was exactly the product I was waiting for to re-do my tree ring. I had placed the black plastic edging before, and i did not like it. This new tech Aluminum Landscape Edging Kit is easy to install and looks great. Even though the price looks a little expensive, when considering that it will be there for a lifetime, it is worth it. I am not going to touch it for my lifetime. I also have peace of mind since it is aluminum: it will not rust and it is safe. The 24 feet was good enough for my 2 oak trees; two 6 feet pieces for one ring. The 10 inch long galvanized steel spikes were really good enough to keep the ring in place. I recommend this to every home owner, and request them to consider this item first, when you are in the market for landscaping. It is well worth the money spent.
