EASY LANDSCAPING IDEAS.. INSTALL METAL LANDSCAPE EDGING IN YOUR GARDEN/FLOWER BED
What happens here
Take the first piece of metal edging and position it along the intended border of your flowerbed. Ensure the side with the stake slots is facing inward towards the flowerbed, and the smooth side faces outward towards the lawn. This orientation allows lawnmowers and weed eaters to operate without damaging the edging. Once positioned, drop the previously detached stakes into the designated slots. Using a rubber mallet, gently but firmly tap each stake into the ground until the edging is securely in place and aligned with your desired line, such as a sidewalk. Confirm the edging is straight and level before proceeding.
Goal: Install the first section of metal edging, ensuring proper alignment and stability.
