About this product
A crisp black line between lawn and bed.
Heavy 0.06-inch steel with a black coating and a 4-inch face. Interlocking foot sections, hammered in, sold by the foot.
Grass runners creep into beds, bark creeps onto lawns, and the line between them goes fuzzy. A proper steel edge stops all of that and gives you a sharp black line that stays sharp.
Each section is 0.06-inch steel with a black coating for outdoor use. It comes with seven 4-inch spikes, so you hammer it in rather than dig a trench. The ends interlock, so you join foot after foot, and the steel bends enough to follow a curve or a slope.
Grass runners creep into beds and bark creeps onto lawns. Between them the line goes fuzzy. A steel edge stops both, and a black one disappears into the shadow line so all you see is the crisp border.
Each section is 0.06-inch steel with a black coating for outdoor use. It comes with seven 4-inch spikes, so you hammer it in rather than dig a trench. The ends interlock, and the steel bends enough to follow a curve or a slope.
Buy it by the foot with no minimum. One section covers about 3.3 feet once the interlock overlap is locked into the next, so measuring up is simple: the length of your edge in feet, rounded up.

Putting a clean, permanent line between lawn and bed, or along a path or driveway. It holds the line, keeps bark and soil in the bed, and stops grass runners crossing over.
How high does it sit?
The face is 4 inches. Set it with most of the face below ground for a subtle line, or leave more showing to hold back a raised bed of bark or stone.
What do I get per foot?
One 42.3-inch section that covers about 3.3 feet once the interlock overlaps the next, plus seven 4-inch spikes. Each length weighs about 3.5 lb.
How do I install it?
Mark your line, stand the section on it, and drive the spikes in with a rubber mallet. Slot the next section into the overlap and carry on. No digging needed in normal soil.
Can it follow a curve?
Yes. The steel bends to follow a curve or ride over a change in level. It also holds a dead straight line if that is what you want.
Can I cut it?
Yes. For a short run, measure what you need and cut with an angle grinder or hacksaw. Wear gloves and eye protection and file the cut smooth.
What is it made of?
0.06-inch steel with a black coating that protects it outdoors. Thick enough not to kink when you hammer it in.
How much does it cost?
$19 per foot. Delivery is free once your order is $60 or more. Under $60 it is a flat $22.
Are there other sizes or options?
One face height in black. For a rusted look see the corten edging, for silver see the stainless.
What do the photos show?
The edging in place along beds and lawns so you can judge the look. Plants, pots and garden props are not included.
Which specs should I check before I buy?
Face height (4 inches), section coverage (about 3.3 feet with the overlap), thickness (0.06 inch) and the seven spikes per section. If anything is unclear, ask us first.
How do I work out how many feet I need?
Measure the edge and round up to the next foot. The overlap is already allowed for, so one section is about 3.3 feet. Add a little for corners, then check your basket before paying.
Can I order more than one foot?
Yes. Set the quantity to the number of feet you need, on this page or in your basket.
Will it suit every garden?
It holds fast in all normal soils. Very rocky ground can stop a spike, so you may need to shift the section slightly or lift a stone out. If you are unsure, send us a photo and your measurements before you order.
How should I prepare the ground?
Mark your line with string, clear weeds and loose stones, and check for shallow pipes or cables before you drive spikes in.
Any safety tips while fitting it?
Wear gloves and sturdy footwear, use a rubber mallet rather than a steel hammer so the coating stays intact, and keep kids and pets clear while you hammer.
What if the ground is hard or stony?
Water the line the day before so the soil is softer, and move the section an inch or two if a spike hits a rock. Do not force it, the spike or the face will bend.
Can I use it as a retaining wall?
No. It will hold back a shallow bed of bark or stone, but it is a garden edge, not a retaining wall. It is not load bearing.
How do I look after it?
Nothing much. Knock off soil now and then and check the sections are still locked together after heavy rain or frost.
Can I check it will suit my garden before I buy?
Yes. Send us the measurements, a photo of the edge and what you have there now, and we will tell you straight.
Is the price in US dollars?
Yes. Product prices and checkout totals are in US dollars.
What does delivery cost?
Delivery is free when the goods total after any discount is $60 or more. Otherwise the delivery charge is $22.
How long does delivery take?
Allow 24-48 hours for handling, then an estimated 5-7 days in transit. These are estimates, not a promised arrival date.
Can I use the valued-customer code?
Yes. It takes 15% off the goods. Delivery is not discounted, and free delivery is worked out on the discounted goods total.
How do I track my order?
Use the Order Tracking page with the details we send after dispatch. If anything looks stuck, email us with your order reference.
Can I return it if I change my mind?
Yes, within 15 days of purchase for an unused item in original resaleable condition with proof of purchase. A $60 restocking fee applies and you pay return postage. Your rights under federal and state consumer law are separate.
What if it arrives damaged or wrong?
Contact us with your order reference and photos, ideally within 7 days so we can investigate quickly. No restocking fee applies to faulty, damaged or incorrect goods. We arrange the repair, replacement or refund and cover the return postage.
Can I cancel before it ships?
Contact support as soon as possible. The voluntary cancellation policy allows requests within 12 hours of ordering, before shipment, with a 12.5% processing fee. The fee does not apply where it would limit a statutory remedy.
I have a big project. Can you help?
Yes. Use the wholesale enquiry page and tell us the products, quantities and your delivery postcode.

The complete guide
Black steel edging: the complete guide
4 min readLawn Edge Company USA
Steel edging is what landscapers use when the line has to stay put. This one is heavy gauge, black coated, and it hammers in on spikes. Once it is in, grass runners cannot cross it, bark stays in the bed, and the edge you cut today is still the edge in five years.
Sizes and specifications
42.3-inch sections, 39.4 inches of coverage with a 2.9-inch interlock overlap
4-inch face height
0.06-inch steel with a black coating
Seven spikes per section, each 4 inches long
About 3.5 lb per length
Sold by the foot, no minimum
How to fit it
Mark your line with string and clear weeds and loose stones.
Check for shallow pipes or cables before you drive spikes in.
Stand the first section on the line and drive the spikes in with a rubber mallet. A steel hammer marks the coating.
Slot the next section into the interlock overlap and drive its spikes in. Carry on along the line.
For a curve, bend the section as you go. For a slope, let it follow the ground. For a short run, cut with a grinder or hacksaw and file the edge.
Hammer the face in as well as the spikes if you want a full barrier against grass runners.
Where it works
Between lawn and bed, where it keeps the line sharp and the runners out. Along a path or drive. Around a raised bed of bark or stone, where the 4-inch face holds the material in. Around trees and planters. It holds fast in all normal soils and keeps a dead straight line if that is what you want.
Is it right for the job?
If you want the rusted look, the corten edging is the same section in weathering steel, with a 6-inch option. If the edge runs beside pale pavers and you want no risk of marks, the stainless edging stays bright. If the line is all tight curves, the flexible plastic edging bends further. For a straight black line that lasts, this is the one.
Looking after it
Knock off soil now and then and check the sections are still locked together after a hard frost. If the coating ever scuffs through, a dab of rust-resistant black paint sorts it.
