I like this product. I purchased the same heavy-duty version several years ago and used it as the border to reset my brick paver sidewalks, and purchased it again recently to use as edging for some plant beds. Other reviews and answers to questions are all over the map as far as describing the physical characteristics, so let me start with that. First, it's made from recycled plastic, which is good. The heavy duty version is 1.75 inches tall (as opposed to 1.5 inches for the standard version). The heavy duty version is slightly thicker than the standard version, and worth it for the extra stiffness. The tabs used to stake it down are spaced 4 inches on center (actually 3 15/16" for some reason, but who's quibbling) and 2.5 inches wide.Although the product literature states that this edging is "no-dig", instruction no. 1 calls for the user to score the ground in order to set it below grade. I don't call that no-dig, but I suppose there might be applications where you might just stake it directly to grade. I wanted the top edge just above grade on the lawn side, with some depth for mulch on the other side, so that meant digging. A flat-blade shovel and a hoe work well. Other reviewers make claims like "I installed 150 feet in 30 minutes". Don't believe it! Even if you are installing it directly on flat grade with no vegetation, it takes awhile to get it tacked in place in whatever shape you want (with straight lines taking more time in order to get it right). If you dig, and use more stakes (see below), it's obviously going to take even more time.Other reviewers have noted that not enough stakes are provided, and that is certainly true. I purchased two 100-foot rolls and they come with 40 stakes (and several splice brackets) per roll - not nearly enough to do a good job. That means buying more stakes, which can be pricy if you buy the small count (25 or less) packages prompted by the manufacturer's ads. But, they are also available in 50 and even 150 count packages on Amazon if you look, and these are much more economical. I bought a 150-count bag (about $45) for the two 100-foot falls of edging (for a total of 230 stakes), and used an 8-inch spacing for one straight run and a 12-inch spacing for curves. You might be able to get by with 12" for straight and 16" for curves, but the closer the spacing, the better you can control the shape and keep it from warping, especially when it expands after installation when the the sun heats it up.Speaking of which, try to install it in warmer weather if you can, and unroll it and let it warm up in the sun. That will help keep it from warping at higher temperatures because it will have already expanded about as much as it's going to. I used small stones under some of the tabs in places where the ground was soft, in order to keep the tabs level when I drove them in and to keep it from settling. Don't drive the stakes too tight or they will cock the tab at an angle and warp the vertical leg.Like I said, excellent product. I would have rated it higher if they had supplied anything close to the number of stakes required to do a decent job.

I love how easy it is to install and how clean a line it makes for my yard

Stury and easy to put down. Still no cracks or color fade in texas heat one year later! With a snow n ice storms 3 days last winter.

First of all, it is very easy to install if you have enough stakes and if you unroll the whole thing and roughly lay it on the ground first. The very first thing I did was run my lawnmower around the area to be sure my curves aren't too tight for the mower, then went from there.My heavy-duty edging came with 40 stakes. I also ordered a second bag of 50 to be sure I have plenty of stakes, but they aren't here yet. Because I will be plugging in liriope sprigs every 8" on the inside edge of the bed, I decided to rough-stake everything down first to be sure I like it; also because it's so hot outside, and I'm taking the advice of those who advised not to install this until it's cool to avoid breakage on cooling if it's stretched too taut when hot.I followed this strategy, using the holes in the tabs to count: STAKE one two three STAKE one two three STAKE one two three. Or, in my case until my new stakes come, STAKE one two three SKIP one two three STAKE one two three SKIP one two three. The distance between two stakes using this skip-three-holes method is 16" so that means the middle skipped hole is 8" and that will help me space the liriope. Skipping where I'll put in more stakes allows me to get the whole 100 feet rough-staked down so I can live with it a while and be sure it's what I want. I pounded the stakes in just far enough to hold the edging roughly in place. Counting it out this way ensures I'll have extra evenly spaced holes if I need to do a tight curve (STAKE one STAKE one STAKE) if needed. I'll go around it with an edging tool to score the edge of the grass to remove when I've got it like I want it, then use wet cardboard underneath and on over the grassed area in what will be my permaculture beds when I'm ready to stake it all down. Then I'll add lots of woodchips on top of the cardboard. I think it's going to work nicely.The only reason I got the heavy-duty edging is because other reviewers said the heavy-duty holds up better in the heat, but mainly because it came with more stakes. I'll have to set my lawnmower up higher with this edging because it's about a quarter inch taller than the other edging I've used in the past. But because I was careful to mow first to ensure leisurely curves the mower can handle, once the liriope grows up and out over the edging, I think it won't be an issue.

I did have to dig down some to use the edging, only because of the ground the difference of ground levels. Easy to use, very sturdy material

It’s ok
