Make this the year your lawn and landscaping shines!!!  Using EverEdge edging for your lawn, driveway, flower and vegetable beds, path edging, and landscaping gives you that ultimate polished look that everyone strives for!

Fabricated of galvanized steel, EverEdge is the answer for creating impeccable borders outside your home.  EverEdge is weather resistant and maintenance free!  Enjoy decades of beauty with the easy to install, locking edging.  

Each 39” section links easily to the next, forming a permanent edging that bends easily for corners or curves.  You will be amazed at the look created and maintained so effortlessly that will last for years.

EverEdge also makes a product to facilitate making raised beds for vegetable gardens.  Comprised of 8” high by 39” sections, the walls make a raised bed that is joined together by 16” pins that are driven into the ground for absolute stability.  The beds last for years and make the process of vegetable growing  trouble-free.   You can use topsoil and potting soil to ensure the vegetables are getting the proper nutrition and the appropriate soil for the ideal growing environment.  

Additionally, EverEdge tree rings are the perfect edge to make your trees stand out and to give the borders of your tree mulch a picture perfect edge.  Just cut a hole around your tree and tap the tree ring into place.  It is comprised of a 3” border and 3” spikes. This eliminates nylon cord damage to your tree and keeps the tree trunk safe from mower harm.
