What happens here
Using a shovel, begin digging a shallow trench along the marked perimeter where the edging will be placed. The trench should be wide enough to accommodate the edging and deep enough to ensure it sits flush with the ground or slightly below the desired rock level. Once the trench is prepared, carefully lay the flexible plastic edging into the trench, ensuring it follows the desired curves and lines. Secure the edging with stakes or pins if necessary. For areas requiring a small retaining wall or border, use concrete landscape blocks, leveling and stacking them as needed to create the desired height. Add a layer of decorative rock within the trenched areas as a base, ensuring it is level and provides a stable foundation for additional rock layers.
Goal: Install perimeter edging and create base for decorative rock.
