For a well structured garden space that is fully organised, as well as being aesthetically pleasing, garden edging can be the perfect solution. FlexiBorder is one of the most effective options for garden edging in any space, large or small. With an incredible amount of flexibility, this can be used to edge spaces that are curved or even circular for an attractive and effective result. This is not only visually appealing, it is also very practical, bringing many functional benefits. But why should you choose this type of garden edging for easier maintenance?
Why should you install garden edging for easier maintenance?
Installing garden edging can bring a wide range of benefits and advantages to your garden, including providing a stylish and well organised visual aesthetic, while also bringing practical benefits. One of these practical benefits is easier maintenance for the garden space, helping to keep your garden tidy and aesthetically pleasing all year round. Garden edging can help to make maintenance easier in a number of different ways, including:
- Separating lawns and garden beds
- Reducing soil erosio
- Separating lawns and flower beds
If you’ve ever tried to maintain both a lawn and a flower bed without edging or a border, you’ll know how tricky this can be. Without a barrier in place, grass and other weeds can creep into your flower bed and take away essential nutrients from your shrubs, trees, and flowers, stiliting their growth. At the same time, weeds from the flower bed can encroach onto your lawn, preventing your grass from staying healthy and nourished.
It’s not just the aesthetic appeal and health of your garden space that can be negatively impacted by the lack of garden edging, as this also has a detrimental practical result too. For example, without effective garden edging, your garden space will need constant weeding and attention, for both the lawn and the flower beds. FlexiBorder can prevent this issue by creating a physical barrier, preventing weeds from spreading from one area to another, and preventing weeds from spreading underground.
In addition, it can be difficult to mow the grass, right to the edges, when there is no barrier in place. This means that extra time will need to be spent on cutting the lawn around the edges. In contrast, with FlexiBorder installed, you will be able to mow right up to the very edges of your grass.
Reducing soil erosion
With a lot of wet weather across the UK, many of our gardens can experience soil erosion, as soil, substrate or mulch is moved from one area to another in heavy rain. This can lead to some areas of your garden becoming less nourished and leaving some plants more exposed to the elements causing health and growth problems for your plants. This can even lead to soil or substrate being washed onto paths or onto lawns, which can become a time consuming and problematic maintenance task.
Garden edging, when installed effectively, can help to prevent this erosion from occuring by simply providing a solid barrier. This allows soil, mulch and substrate to be retained in the right area, keeping it in place, even in heavy rain. This also keeps your more sensitive plants safe and healthy. By preventing soil erosion with the right garden edging, you can save a lot of time and energy on your garden maintenance.
