The BEST LANDSCAPE EDGING! Using Corten (rust weathered) steel as a garden edging!

Metal edging is the perfect way to create crisp and easy to maintain lines between garden beds and gravel areas. It doesn’t take much to install it to a high degree of quality, and it looks very clean when you’re done!
Make a very easy edge to line trim against and keep materials from mixing. Much better than a standard plastic edging which is impossible to keep straight.

I want to use this soooo bad! I'm dying to have more of a modern look. But it's sooooo expensive 😢

[@matttufts3022]

How thick of a mortar bed would you suggest? Also do you lay it as a dry bed?

[@HardscapeCanada]

I lay it in a pretty dry mortar base, usually about 3' depth and 4' wide.

Hey Kevin, love your videos. I'm in Cobble Hill. You know my friend Nate I believe, we do design work together. Say where did you get your metal edging from? Thanks!

[@HardscapeCanada]

Hey yes indeed! Great to connect with you! I get the metal edging from Metal Supermarkets on Keating x rd in saanich.

[@joshuablades7369]

@@HardscapeCanada ah right, I'll check them out. Many thanks!

Do you use the 1/8”. (11ga) for radius walkways/beds also? Curious on the bending radius vs typical 14ga.

[@HardscapeCanada]

I haven’t done much for curves or radius’s, but the 1/8” would curve nicely for sure. Would have to be a bit careful not to overdo it!

[@ArisGonzales]

Hi Kevin, can you share what steel edging you are using in this video? Thanks!

[@HardscapeCanada]

Hey yes it’s 1/8” x 6” wide steel! It can be purchased at most metal supply shops, our local store is called Metal Supermarkets

[@ArisGonzales]

Thank you! I’ve been wondering where to get the heavier duty looking steel edging🙏

[@trayapana7124]

Where I live they use 3”x2”x1/8”unequal steel angle with rebar rods to hold it in place. Do you think the mortar bed is necessary to keep its shape?

[@danielvargas9100]

how do you stake it????

[@HardscapeCanada]

Hey i stake them with rebar stakes about 3/4 of the way up, and then do a mortar curb and fine tune straighten before it sets up.

[@danielvargas9100]

@@HardscapeCanada Do you ever put any finish on the steel? Or, do you just let it do its thing and gain that good rust look.

[@HardscapeCanada]

@danielvargas9100 hey I just let it rust out! That’s what the people want!
