Professional Landscape Edging in Olympia, WA

The best landscape edging depends on your specific application, but aluminum edging offers the optimal combination of durability, flexibility, and lifetime performance. Sure-loc aluminum edging never rusts, cracks, or becomes brittle, and it's made from recycled material. For high-traffic commercial areas, our 3/16" SureEdge provides maximum strength. For residential curves and design flexibility, our 1/8" CrispEdge is ideal. Steel edging offers ultimate rigidity for driveways and heavy-duty applications.

Landscape edging costs vary based on material type, thickness, and finish. Aluminum edging typically ranges from $3-8 per linear foot for materials, while steel edging ranges from $4-10 per foot depending on gauge. Plastic edging is more economical at $1-3 per foot. Installation costs are separate and vary by project complexity. Contact Sure-loc for specific pricing on professional-grade products, which offer superior lifetime value compared to big-box alternatives.

Sure-loc aluminum landscape edging is designed for lifetime performance. Unlike wood or plastic edging that deteriorates over time, aluminum never rusts, rots, or becomes brittle. Our high-strength aluminum alloy withstands decades of maintenance equipment abuse and temperature fluctuations. The powder-coated finishes resist fading and corrosion even in harsh climates. Many Sure-loc installations from the 1990s remain in excellent condition today, proving the exceptional longevity of professional-grade aluminum edging.

Yes! Sure-loc offers the EZ-Edge system specifically designed for homeowner installation. This 6-foot section aluminum edging simply slides together and secures with included spikes—no special tools required. For professional results on larger projects, we recommend working with experienced landscape contractors who are familiar with proper installation techniques, especially for steel edging or complex designs requiring precise curves and transitions.

Aluminum edging offers superior flexibility for curves, weighs less, and never rusts. It's ideal for residential landscapes and applications requiring design flexibility. Steel edging provides maximum strength and rigidity for high-traffic commercial areas, driveways, and asphalt retention. Steel is heavier and stays in place better but requires powder coating for corrosion protection. Both materials are extremely durable and maintenance-free when properly installed.

Yes, properly installed landscape edging creates an effective barrier that prevents grass and weeds from spreading into garden beds, walkways, and mulched areas. Sure-loc edging extends several inches below ground level, blocking root growth while the visible portion keeps grass from creeping over the edge. The seamless connection system ensures no gaps where vegetation can penetrate, maintaining crisp, clean borders with minimal ongoing maintenance.

For curved beds, Sure-loc's 1/8" CrispEdge aluminum edging offers optimal flexibility while maintaining clean lines. The thinner material bends smoothly to create flowing curves without kinking. For tighter radius curves, Slide-Edge sections can be cut and connected at precise angles. Plastic Elite-Edge also provides excellent flexibility for residential curves at a lower cost point. Avoid thicker steel or 3/16" aluminum edging for tight curves as they're engineered for straight runs.

Standard landscape edging should be installed 3-4 inches deep, leaving 1-2 inches visible above ground. For areas with frost heave concerns or loose sandy soil, deeper installation (4-5 inches) provides better stability. Sure-loc's Anti Frost Heave Technology with 45-degree stake angles helps prevent ground shifting from pushing edging upward during freeze-thaw cycles. Proper installation depth ensures the edging remains level and secure through all seasons.
