Grass Barrier - Landscape Edging - 10" inch Depth (150 Feet)

This stuff is super strong. Reasonably straightforward to put in (excepting where you might have to cut for water lines in your sprinkler system crossing it). I thought with the sandy soil in Florida it would be easy to dig to the required depth; however, don't forget those tree roots you have to cut over the 150 feet length of that trench you dig. And, you can't just slam that shovel down hard unless you know exactly where your sprinkler pipes are or you are ok replacing the ones you pop. Took three days, mornings, and ibuprofen plus hot tub in the afternoons to try to recover. Then, you get all done and you look proudly over your work and frankly, you see nothing! Ouch, how unsatisfying. If you need it, it is clear this product is rock solid. Make sure you have tin snips to cut out the passthrough points for the pipes that cross. You won't complain about the product itself. Just know what you are getting into as far as doing the job.

First off, this is the only product I have found that has kept grass from growing into my garden while holding the soil and mulch in the garden back. Will this take more work than installing the cheaper stuff? Certainly. Did I still have to remove grass from my garden every year with shorter edging installed? You bet I did. The extra work and expense short term has paid off huge dividends long term (so much so that this is my second order, replacing some older edging in my front yard after installing this across my large flower bed out back.A trenching shovel is a must have to dig the necessary depth in my opinion, and I used a good pair of metal snips to cut to go around sprinkler hoses. Again, a lot of work, but so much better than having to de-grass flower beds every year.

Product is very good but it was very hard getting the 10 inch deep size into the ground and not having waves in it. Next time I’d buy a shorter version.

Had this gap under the fence that was being used by Iguana's to get into my yard - not anymore!This product worked great but does require some patience to install. Here's some tips i learned:Need to flatten - product comes in a roll and will be a pain to cut since it wont lay flat at first. A few minutes laid out in Florida sun, flattened this out real quick - note this can also get real hot to the touch if left to long.- Install it warm - this is plastic, so install was so much easier if the product was warm then when cold. more flexible and easier to cut.- To cut I used a sharp utility knife - no scissors. I cut it similar to drywall; I scored/cut it with a knife and then gently bent it, till it snaps. It snapped clean for me and found also you can just cut it through with knife works as well, Scissors, tin snips didn't give a clean cut line - due to the thinness of product.- SHARP - the finished edges are rounded and safe but the edges you cut can be very sharp - could be the way I was cutting it but aware.- To fasten - I just used a strong staple gun and stapled it to the fence, and insured a min 3 inches was buried in soilThis product worked great, looks great and will be there long time. I am quit happy with it.

I bought this as a border for my landscape bed. We have torpedo grass which invades from the lawn and is impossible to get rid of. The torpedo grass roots are usually within the first 10 inches so we decided to try this border in the hopes it would slow down the invasion. We buried all 10 inches. I actually wish it was even wider because I've seen torpedo grass go deeper than 10". It remains to be seen how well it works. But it's very sturdy. Very thick and heavy. It was no problem to install, just unroll it, weigh it down with rocks to keep it unrolled. Wait for the sun to heat up the plastic and it'll stay unrolled. Fingers crossed that it works!

Just finished installing it. Can't speak to long term effectiveness yet, but it was easier to work with than I expected. Instructions say to use a utility knife to cut it, I have tin snips and I'd recommend those instead. Laying it out in the sun is essential and makes it very pliable. I had 90-degree corners, it folded well, and the corners stayed well after sitting in the sun with heavy rocks holding them down. The hardest part was digging the trench, but you can't get around that part.

I used this as a barrier around my garden. As you can see in the picture, the barrier is not completely set up around the perimeter of the garden. I'm using this product as a water barrier to contain water and not let it soak the edges between the garden and the side.In the past, I have used this product to separate the garden from a yard that had Bermuda grass in it. Bermuda grass is a VERY aggressive lawn grass that nothing can stop from invading a garden except this product. This black plastic barrier is 10 inches tall and grass roots tend to grow 8 inches below the soil so they are stopped by this product. I highly recommend! I'd buy again!UPDATE: 10-14-21 I have purchased this product 5 times and am no longer using it for edging. Now I have used it as an animal barrier to keep cats from living under my manufactured home, and as a moisture barrier to block moisture between a flower garden and the wall of my house.

I didn't realize that the rhizomes/roots were already underneath where I put the barrier down.
