Grass Barrier - Landscape Edging - 10" inch Depth (300 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.

The height is perfect to keep the soil from washing away.

Made a 26' X 2' rectangular "planter" on our property line to try and prevent weeds from the neighbor's encroaching on our yard. Had a dickens of a time trying to get it inserted deep enough. Tried to calculate for 2 sprinkler lines ahead of time, but once you have the border going in, you definitely don't want to yank everything out to make cut-outs for the sprinkler lines. Had to use snips while border was already in place. Killed my hands! A box-cutter definitely won't work on this product; it's too sturdy! This product would probably work best on a level yard. Ours had a slight (but slight enough to create a few problems) incline that we hadn't considered. Won't try a 10 inch again. It seems to be serving its purpose.

I bought this because I was looking for a solution to the grass invading my garden every year.I reclaimed part of my yard for a garden and the grass just kept growing into it. I did some research and found this. We dug into the garden, sifted out the grass and roots and buried the barrier. It worked! The grass stayed away. Now, if I can just get the weeds under control.

I can promise you that no weeds will go through this heavy duty material. Maybe over or under but never through. With that said, it's 10". You should probably go grab a tape measure now and visualize that measurement. That means some deep digging for 50 feet in our case to get this thing set into position. We used an edger and spade shovel to create a slit in the outter edge of our work area and a rubber mallet to tamp it down.The nature of this product is hard to install but that's no fault of the product. The product is fairly easy to work with. It might seem a little wavy at first but once you back fill and tamp the dirt down it straightens right up.We used ours a little differently. We are prepping an area in the photo for a 16ft stone paver patio on ground that is unlevel by as much as 6 inches from one side to the other. Installing this product and leveling it with string lines allows us to have a template to level the land around and inside the barrier. Otherwise, our pavers and base would be overlyexposed above ground.The work is not nearly finished in the photo but in our application the material is buried 9 inches in some places and little as 3 inches in other places so that the top of the ring is level all the way around. Then we will add fill inside and out using this material as a guide to transform the terrain around it. Doesn't hurt that we also added some root protection in an area very prone for invasion.

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.
