Landscape timber edging is quick and simple to install. In this 10-page tutorial, using pictures, I illustrate how to install an attractive edging that will add a touch of class to any border planting.
Our border planting is right up against a wood fence on the property line. The photo on this page shows you the end result of our landscape timber edging project. The remaining pages in my tutorial show you exactly how we achieved that result.
The plant material had already been installed in this particular border planting, approximately one year prior to the project. As long as you don't have a lot of plant material that will be right in your way, this approach (i.e., installing landscape timber edging as an afterthought) is doable. But there are advantages to installing the landscape timber edging first (see Page 5), prior to planting anything in the bed. Once your bed is overflowing with plants, you have less maneuverability during the project.
On Page 2 we'll take a look at the supplies needed for the project....
