Perfect for gardens, walkways, and driveways, stone and brick edging is versatile and adaptable to various landscaping styles.

Wood Edging Installation: Rustic Elegance for Natural Landscapes
Wood edging may be the perfect solution if you’re drawn to a more natural, rustic aesthetic. Popular in cottage gardens and rural-inspired landscapes, wood offers warmth and a subtle border that blends seamlessly with plants and soil. However, because wood is organic, it’s more susceptible to weathering.
Installation Steps
- Measure and Mark: Define the area where the edging will be installed.
- Dig a Trench: Create a trench deep enough to anchor the wood planks securely.
- Install and Anchor: Place the wood boards in the trench and anchor them with stakes.
- Apply Protective Treatment: To prolong the lifespan, apply a sealant to protect against moisture and insects.
Wood Types Commonly Used
- Cedar: Naturally resistant to rot and insects.
- Redwood: Durable and aesthetically pleasing but more expensive.
- Pressure-Treated Pine: Budget-friendly but may require regular maintenance.
| Wood Type | Lifespan with Treatment | Maintenance Needs | Cost per Linear Foot |
| Cedar | 10-15 years | Moderate | $3 – $12 |
| Redwood | 15-20 years | Low | $6 – $20 |
| Pressure-Treated Pine | 7-12 years | High | $2 – $8 |
Regular inspections and touch-ups can help maintain wood edging’s appearance and functionality.
Decorative Edging: Adding Flair to Your Landscape
For homeowners who want their landscape to stand out, decorative edging offers endless customization. From curved patterns to colorful designs, decorative options can transform ordinary garden borders into artistic statements.
Popular Decorative Edging Options
- Stamped Concrete: Mimics natural stone or brick, offering custom patterns and colors.
- Metal Scrollwork: Adds a vintage or industrial look with intricate designs.
- Mosaic Stone: Unique and visually striking, perfect for creative focal points.
| Decorative Type | Durability | Customization Potential | Cost per Linear Foot |
