What happens here

After clearing and roughly leveling the ground, mark the desired curvilinear or oval shape for the planting beds. Lay out the flexible plastic landscape edging along this marked line. Use a rubber mallet to firmly drive plastic or metal stakes through the designated holes in the edging and into the ground, typically every 10 feet initially, then adjusting as needed to maintain a taut and smooth curve. Ensure the edging is buried deep enough to be stable but with enough exposed height to contain decorative rock and define the bed. Make micro-adjustments to the curve by repositioning stakes until the desired aesthetic is achieved. This step is critical for containing decorative materials and providing a clean border.

Goal: Define the perimeter of the new planting beds by installing flexible plastic landscape edging, securing it into the ground with stakes to maintain the desired shape.

What they say

[Music] [Applause] [Music] that's the part they never tell you about how complicated it could be to actually make a radius with flexible material it's kind of hard but what I found that works here best here is to put a steak like maybe every 10 ft get a rough area and then walk around and create like a tot section so right here is a great example about 10 ft so then you just kind of move it out now we're going to have to move this steak out a little bit so you'll have you basically do a whole lot of adjusting before you get it just right and then when it's just right you redo it
