Total = 100 + (2 × 2) = 104 ft. Pieces = ceil(104 / 8) = 13. Stakes = ceil(104 / 3) + (2 × 2) = 35 + 4 = 39. Material = 104 × $3 = $312. Stakes = 39 × $0.50 = $20. Total = $312 + $20 = $332.
Inputs
Result
Total = 200 + (4 × 2) = 208 ft. Pieces = ceil(208 / 20) = 11. Stakes = ceil(208 / 3) + (4 × 2) = 70 + 8 = 78. Material = 208 × $1.50 = $312. Stakes = 78 × $0.50 = $39. Labor = 208 × $2 = $416. Total = $312 + $39 + $416 = $767.
Measure the total perimeter of your garden bed in feet. Add 2 extra feet per curve section to account for bending and overlap. For a 10 x 20 ft rectangular bed, you need 60 linear feet of edging.
Steel/metal edging lasts 15-20 years and is the most durable option. Aluminum edging also lasts long but costs more. Plastic edging lasts 5-10 years, while rubber edging lasts 8-12 years.
| Edging Type | Lifespan | Cost per ft | Pros |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steel | 15–20 years | $2–$4 | Most durable, clean lines, professional look |
| Aluminum | 15–20 years | $3–$6 | Rust-proof, lightweight, no maintenance |
| Rubber | 8–12 years | $1.50–$3 | Flexible, eco-friendly (recycled tires) |
| Plastic | 5–10 years | $1–$2 | Cheapest, easiest DIY install |
| Brick/Stone | 20+ years | $5–$15 | Natural look, adds property value |
For straight sections, place stakes every 3-4 feet. For curved sections, use stakes every 1-2 feet for a smooth bend. Add 2 extra stakes at each curve section for stability.
Most landscape edging should be buried 3-4 inches deep. For lawn borders, 3-4 inches is sufficient. For patio borders or areas with heavy foot traffic, use 4-6 inch deep edging for extra stability.
| Application | Recommended Depth | Edging Height to Buy | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garden bed border | 3–4" | 4–5" | Separates mulch from lawn |
| Lawn/path border | 3–4" | 4–5" | Prevents grass creep |
| Patio border | 4–6" | 6" | Holds pavers, resists foot traffic |
| Driveway edge | 5–6" | 6–8" | Withstands vehicle tire pressure |
Plastic roll edging is the cheapest at $1-2 per linear foot. Metal edging costs $2-4 per foot, brick edging $3-6 per foot, and natural stone is the most expensive at $5-15 per foot installed.
| Edging Type | Material per ft | Installed per ft | Total for 100 ft (DIY) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plastic roll | $1–$2 | $3–$5 | $100–$200 |
| Rubber | $1.50–$3 | $4–$7 | $150–$300 |
| Steel | $2–$4 | $5–$9 | $200–$400 |
| Brick | $3–$6 | $8–$14 | $300–$600 |
| Natural stone | $5–$15 | $12–$25 | $500–$1,500 |
