Why a steel edge ? There is little more satisfying than a sharp divide between different elements of the landscape , and in Steelscapes ’ opinion nothing achieves this better than steel .
Flexibility Unlike a concrete or timber edge steel will form curves with ease , simply secure one end with a stake and walk it round staking as you go , allowing the steel to form the most natural curves for you .
Good value While the initial expense of a steel edge is greater than timber , this should be more than offset by the cost of replacing a timber edge numerous times over the lifetime of a steel edge . Steelscapes edging is guaranteed for 25 years .
Zero maintenance Mild and Corten steel edging will weather naturally . This means there is no surface covering which can degrade or needs reapplying .
Appearance The warm earthy browns of weathered steel blend perfectly into the landscape . There is something gratifyingly honest about rusted steel in the garden .
Fast installation The steelscapes edging system is remarkably simple to install , requiring just a spanner and hammer , supplied in 2 or 3 meter lengths with all stakes and fixings supplied as standard you can cover ground fast with a steel edge . All with no visible fixings on the seen face .
Robust Despite its flexibility steel is strong , a 6mm thick edging will tolerate being driven over making it ideal for driveways .
Where can it be used ? There are the more obvious applications such as borders , lawns , paths and roads but also for an edge to artificial lawns and resin bonded surfaces . The Steelscapes edging range extends to 300mm high making it ideal for raised beds , terracing and steps .
So if you ’ re looking for crisp , robust edging to your scheme , steel is the only the way forward .
