EASY LANDSCAPING IDEAS.. INSTALL METAL LANDSCAPE EDGING IN YOUR GARDEN/FLOWER BED

What happens here

Continue the installation process by taking a new metal edging piece. Using your pliers, bend back the pre-attached stakes from this new piece. Interlock this new piece with the end of the previously installed section. Once interlocked, insert the detached stakes into the designated slots and use the rubber mallet to tap them securely into the ground. The metal edging is flexible, allowing you to easily create smooth curves around your flowerbeds. For optimal stability, use extra stakes in the center areas of longer sections, not just at the joints. Ensure the 'rib' on the stakes faces the flowerbed for better grip. If the ground is uneven, use a small shovel or your hands to clear and level the area before installing the edging. Repeat this process until your entire flowerbed is bordered.

Goal: Extend the metal edging around the entire flowerbed, including curves.
