Landscape Edging for Artificial Turf Borders

Yes, edging is essential for artificial turf installations. Without a firm border, turf edges can lift, fray, or shift over time. Landscape edging creates a stable perimeter that anchors the turf, separates it cleanly from adjacent surfaces such as concrete, pavers, or planting beds, and maintains the crisp, professional appearance of the finished installation.

Artificial grass edges are typically finished by securing the turf edge beneath or against a rigid aluminum or steel edging strip staked firmly into the ground. The turf is trimmed to fit, tucked against the edging, and fastened with nails or adhesive. Sure-loc aluminum edging with its dual stake locking system creates an invisible, seamless border that holds the turf perimeter cleanly in position.

To border artificial grass, install a continuous run of rigid aluminum, steel, or plastic landscape edging around the entire perimeter of the turf area. Sure-loc edging sections connect end-to-end with a no-overlap locking system, then stakes are driven at a 45-degree angle for maximum hold. The result is a secure, low-profile border that keeps turf edges crisp and prevents creep into adjacent lawn or hardscape areas.

For most residential artificial turf applications, the CrispEdge 1/8" (3.2mm) aluminum edging provides sufficient strength and flexibility. For commercial, high-traffic, or institutional turf installations, the SureEdge 3/16" (4.8mm) series is recommended due to its greater rigidity and resistance to maintenance equipment and heavy loads.

Yes. Sure-loc aluminum landscape edging is designed to flex smoothly for curves as tight as 18" radius (14-gauge steel) or 24" radius (1/8" aluminum). The lightweight aluminum construction allows sections to be bent on-site to follow free-form turf shapes, while the dual stake locking system maintains a consistent, gap-free border throughout the curve.

Yes. Sure-loc offers product lines spanning both markets. The CrispEdge and EZ-Edge aluminum series are ideal for residential homeowners and landscapers, while the SureEdge 3/16" and Sure-Loc Steel Edging lines are engineered for commercial, institutional, and industrial artificial turf installations requiring greater load resistance and long-term durability.
