What happens here

A shallow trench is dug along the planned perimeter of the plant bed using a shovel. Flexible black plastic landscape edging is then unrolled and placed into this trench. The edging is secured with stakes (shown being hammered in with a small sledgehammer) at regular intervals, typically every 10 feet initially, and then adjusted to achieve smooth, continuous curves. This creates a clear division between the gravel pathways and the planted areas, and serves as a visual guide for the placement of plants and lighting fixtures. Proper alignment here is crucial for the overall aesthetic.

Goal: Flexible plastic landscape edging is installed to define the boundaries of plant beds and separate different landscaping materials, such as gravel from soil, creating crisp and clean lines.

What they say

Hide

we got a nice perimeter laid out here relatively flat we're going to put edging completely around it to separate this chaos from the nice stuff that we're making here so we're going to create a nice oval radius kind of going around crisp line around so the edging can have a better seating and then we'll bring that sucker in and put stakes in it [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
