Product Description

Discover the timeless elegance of our Corten Steel Garden Edging—a stunning solution designed to delineate and amplify your garden's natural beauty. Perfectly suited for containing garden beds, bordering lush lawns, and framing picturesque pathways, this edging evolves with age, offering unique character that beautifully complements all garden styles, plantings, and architectural designs.
Corten steel is an exceptional material choice for garden edging. Its aesthetic allure is perfectly matched by its strength, durability, and practicality. Over six months, it naturally develops a water-tight patina that prevents further rusting, becoming increasingly robust over time. This protective layer not only fortifies the steel but also remarkably extends its life, requiring no maintenance. Choose our garden edging for a solution that is as reliable as it is beautiful.
Installing this edging is both effortless and straightforward. No special tools are required—just a block of wood and a hammer make it simple for anyone to achieve a professional installation.
When is steel edging better than aluminium edging?
Both steel and aluminium edging offer exceptional durability and weather resistance, each boasting unique advantages to suit diverse landscaping needs.
Steel's superior strength makes it the ideal choice for areas exposed to heavy garden machinery or vehicles. Its robustness also makes it perfect for retaining structures within raised borders, providing unwavering support.
Steel edging offers unparalleled versatility in color options, available in untreated, galvanized, Corten weathering steel, or powder-coated finishes in your preferred RAL color, to perfectly match your design vision.
What's the difference between untreated steel and Corten steel?
Both untreated and Corten steel develop an eye-catching orange-brown patina over time. However, the unique alloys in Corten steel accelerate this process, enriching its visual appeal.
The patina not only enhances aesthetic appeal but offers practical benefits. Corten steel is favored by architects and landscapers for its quick-developing patina that blends seamlessly with organic and natural design concepts, perfectly fitting both traditional and contemporary settings.
How do I prevent Corten steel from staining surrounding stone or concrete?
During its weathering process, Corten steel can cause discoloration in water runoff, potentially staining light or porous surfaces. Fortunately, there are effective methods to mitigate this risk.
Pre-weathering the steel before installation minimizes contact with other materials by ensuring the majority of oxidation occurs beforehand. Accelerate this process by applying specific chemicals to the steel's surface for optimized protection.
Creating a gravel border between the steel and adjacent surfaces allows water to drain away efficiently, preventing unwelcome spread and potential staining.
How much maintenance does steel edging need?
Steel, though more prone to corrosion than aluminium, requires minimal maintenance when crafted from high-grade materials.
The natural oxidation layer on Corten steel typically provides sufficient protection under normal circumstances, preserving the underlying material beautifully.
Powder-coated steel also boasts high corrosion resistance. To ensure its longevity, take care not to damage the powder coating during installation, further safeguarding against any potential corrosion.

FAQ

Why is edging needed for hard and soft landscaping?

Most hard landscaping surfaces that are walked or driven on need some form of edging. This serves various functions, from the practical to the aesthetic:

• To protect against edge damage
• To provide a level guide for screeding resin-bound and wet-pour surfaces
• To prevent sideways movement of paving laid on tamped sand
• To create a step up or down between surfaces of a different height
• To contain loose aggregates such as gravel and chippings from spreading into surrounding areas
• To create a clear demarcation between contrasting types or colours of hard landscaping.

What is the best edging material for paving?

Most paving is laid on tamped sand, sometimes with 'dot and dab' concrete to hold it more firmly in place. Without a stable edge, the pavers will eventually become dislodged due to foot or vehicle traffic and ground movement. This will lead to other problems:

• Gaps opening between the pavers will encourage weeds, grass and moss to grow.
• As the pavers loosen the surface will become unstable and create trip hazards
• If the paved area is adjacent to soft landscaping (lawns or planted beds) the edge will start to break away

Pin kerbing or pavers, set on a solid concrete base and haunched, will create a solid edge that can either blend with or complement the rest of the paving.
However, this method may require several site visits to lay the foundation, then lay and haunch the edging, and time between for the base and haunching to cure before the paving can be laid.
If aluminium or steel edging is used, the paving can be laid as soon as the edging is installed. Both products feature a narrow profile that makes them inconspicuous against paving and soft landscaping, and neither has the problem of grass die-back caused by concrete.
