SMARTEDGE®:
Edge your lawn the smart way - with Smartedge®
SMARTEDGE®For years now I have been searching for an edging material that will look good, is easy to 'fit', and of course, economical. In the past we have used timber to edge the lawns and pathways but that only lasts for a limited period before it starts to rot or is kicked out etc. AT LAST I have found the answer.
It's easy to 'lay', looks terrific, is economical, and long lasting. And so I thought that I would tell you about it. To find out more about it go to the Smartedge website and if you like what you see please email me (Click Here).

Directions:
Step 1) Take an untreated area of lawnedge.
Step 2) Cut the lawn edge, using a spade or lawn edging iron, in the shape you require.
Step 3) Simply lay new 'Smartedge' lawn edging system.
Step 4) The lawn grows through the Smartedge, holding your new edge, in place to leave an easily maintained, immaculate, lawnedge.
Fitting instructions
It is important that you read these instructions before unrolling and installing the product.
Cut the grass.Cut your border perpendicular to the lawn surface.Clear away any large stones.If your ground is particularly dry and compacted, we recommend softening by watering. (Preparation is all important to make the laying of Smartedge as easy as possible).Unroll your Smartedge.The A-frames are folded against the front edge.Ease the A-frames away from the front edge, to approximately 45 degrees.DO NOT OVER-BEND AS THIS WILL STOP THE A-FRAMES FROM GRIPPING THE GRASS.Locate Smartedge along the edge, with the A-frames on the top of your lawn.Tap along the top with a rubber or wooden mallet, or a length of wood, to level the A-frames with your lawn.Insert a locating pin through the hole in the A-frame where necessary.The number of pins needed and where to place them will depend on the design and surface of your lawn. 60 pins are supplied with every 5 metres and extra pins can be purchased separately. 360 pins are supplied with 50m packs.Backfill with soil to secure.To join lengths, simply overlap and pin.Before mowing, leave for 2-3 weeks to allow grass to grow through.Check that none of the A-frames have been pushed up by any broad leaf grass - if so, simply pin down.
