About this product

Warm rusted steel. A line that looks like it has always been there.

Corten weathering steel, supplied already rusted, in 4 inches or 6-inch face heights. Interlocking foot sections, hammered in, sold by the foot.

Corten is the edging landscapers reach for when they want a border that looks settled from day one. The rust is the finish. It forms a stable skin that never needs painting and sits beautifully against green.

We supply it already weathered, so there is no waiting for the colour to come through. Each 0.06-inch section covers a foot, interlocks with the next, and hammers in on seven 4-inch spikes. Pick a 4-inch face for a subtle line or 6 inches to hold back a deeper bed.

Corten is the edging you see in show gardens and new builds, because it looks settled from the day it goes in. The rust is the finish. It forms a stable skin that protects the steel and never needs painting.

We supply it already weathered, so there is no waiting for the colour to come through. Each 0.06-inch section covers a foot, locks into the next, and hammers in on seven 4-inch spikes. No trench.

Pick a 4-inch face for a line between lawn and bed, or 6 inches when you are holding back a deeper bed of bark or stone. Both bend to follow a curve and hold a straight line when you want one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this edging for?

Putting a clean, permanent line between lawn and bed, or along a path or driveway, with the warm rusted look of corten. It holds bark and soil in the bed and stops grass runners crossing.

Does the rust keep going?

It settles. Weathering steel forms a stable rust skin that protects the steel underneath, which is why it never needs painting. We supply it already rusted so it looks right from the start.

Which height should I pick?

4 inches is the everyday choice for a line between lawn and bed. Go to 6 inches if you are holding back a deeper layer of bark or stone, or want more face showing.

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. The 4 inches length weighs about 3.5 lb, the 6-inch about 3.6 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, and 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.

How much does it cost?

4": $19; 6": $25 per foot. Delivery is free once your order is $60 or more. Under that it is a flat $22.

Are there other sizes or options?

Two face heights. Pick the height before you add it to your basket and the price updates.

What do the photos show?

The edging in place along beds and lawns so you can judge the colour and the look. Plants, pots and garden props are not included.

Which specs should I check before I buy?

Face height (4 inches or 6 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, since rusted steel marks hands and clothes, plus sturdy footwear. Use a rubber mallet 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.

Will it stain my path or pavers?

Rust run-off can mark light-coloured concrete or pavers, especially in the first season. Keep the edging a little back from pale surfaces or accept a bit of patina.

Can I use it as a retaining wall?

No. The 6-inch face 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.

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 which height to go for.

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.

Where do I get help?

Email theteam@lawnedge.store or use the Contact page. Include the product name and your question, plus your order reference if you have one.

The complete guide

Corten edging: the complete guide

4 min read Lawn Edge Company USA

Weathering steel was developed so bridges and buildings would not need painting. Exposed to the weather it forms a stable rust-coloured skin that protects the steel underneath, and then it stops. That is why corten edging has the warm, settled look people want, and why it is used by professional landscapers.

Sizes and specifications

Both heights are the same section. The only difference is how much face shows.

Supplied in a ready-to-use rusted state. 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.
Put gloves on. Rusted steel marks hands and clothes.
Stand the first section on the line and drive the spikes in with a rubber mallet.
Slot the next section into the overlap and drive its spikes in. Carry on along the line, bending each section to follow a curve if you need to.
For a short run, cut with a grinder or hacksaw. The cut edge will weather to match within a season.

Where it works

Between lawn and bed. Along a gravel path. Around a raised bed of bark or stone, where the 6-inch face earns its keep. Around trees and native plantings, where the colour sits well against green. It holds fast in all normal soils and bends to virtually any shape.

Things to know about corten

The rust settles. Weathering steel is designed to form its skin and then stop, so it does not keep thinning the way plain steel would. It needs no paint or coating, ever, and the steel is fully recyclable.

Run-off can mark pale surfaces. In the first season, rain washing over corten can leave a tint on light concrete or pavers. Keep the edging a little back from pale paving, or accept a bit of patina.

It bends. The 0.06-inch section follows a curve by hand as you fit it and holds the shape once the spikes are in.

Is it right for the job?

If you want a black line instead of rust, the black steel edging is the same section with a black coating. Beside pale pavers, the stainless edging avoids any risk of marks. For tight curves, the flexible plastic edging bends further. For a border that looks like it has always been there, this is the one.
