FAQs
How do I cut the edging?
Use a utility knife or a saw to cut the edging to the desired length. Make sure to wear gloves and eye protection.
Can I use this edging on a slope?
Yes, you can use the edging on a slope, but ensure that you secure it properly with enough landscape staples or pins to prevent movement.
Is the edging resistant to UV rays?
Yes, the recycled rubber is designed to be UV resistant, but prolonged exposure may still cause some fading over time.
How deep should I dig the trench?
The trench should be deep enough to accommodate the edging and allow it to sit securely. A few inches should suffice, but it depends on your specific needs and soil conditions.
What kind of pins or staples should I use?
Use landscape staples or pins made of corrosion-resistant materials, like galvanized steel, to prevent rust and ensure longevity.
Can I paint the edging?
While the edging can be painted, it is generally not recommended, as the paint might not adhere well to the recycled rubber. The grey color is designed to be aesthetically pleasing.
How do I connect multiple packs of edging?
Simply overlap the ends of the edging sections to create a continuous border. Secure with landscape staples or pins.
Troubleshooting
Edging is not staying in place.
Ensure the trench is deep enough. Use more landscape staples or pins, especially in areas with loose soil or curves. Consider using a rubber mallet to drive the pins firmly into the ground.
Difficulty creating smooth curves.
Ensure the edging is properly aligned and flexed as you install it. Use a string line as a guide for straight lines or gentle curves.
The edging has a strong odor.
The rubber scent should dissipate over time. Ensure proper ventilation and consider rinsing with water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Clear the area where you plan to install the edging, removing any existing grass, weeds, or debris. Dig a shallow trench along the desired border line.
