Hi Lisa, thank you for the review, and we're so glad you found the edging easy to install. We try to provide enough stakes in the kits for a typical installation. However, several factors affect the number of stakes needed, included soil type and installation shape. We also recommend using a ground cover as soon as the edging is installed to act as a secondary anchor, which factors into the number of stakes needed. Please feel free to reach out to us at customersupport@dimexcorp.com to tell us more about your experience. Thanks again for the feedback!
