I have several spots that I can not get my mower into, these require that I use a grass trimmer. I have used the black vinyl type on parts of my yard and it just looks ugly. It's hard to install, keep straight, and needs support to stand up straight. I could go on but I think you get the idea.

The EverEdge that I purchased was just the opposite. It looks great, is very sturdy, has a far superior method when you need to attach another one, and is far easier to install. It comes with attached support stakes so it stands up vertically.
These support stakes are the only drawback. If you put the product into the ground first and go to attach another one the connection method works against you. It takes time to align the two sections. I found it was easier to lay the sections on the ground, join them together, then lift them upright. Put the attached stakes in the ground only deep enough to keep the sections from falling. After the sections are upright then begin to pound the sections into the ground little bit at a time. Keep doing this until all sections are at the height you desire. The stakes only need to be a little bit into the ground to keep the edging up right. Please watch the stakes as they are VERY sharp.

Hope you enjoy this product as much as I did and remember you get what you pay for.

This very durable easy to install product transformed our flower beds into beautiful manicured areas eliminating the need to ever reditch the edges between flowers and lawn again

This is a really neat edging system. The instructions are clear and the product is sturdy. In our our particular yard, however, we ran into two problems. First, you have to account for the depth of the spikes, not just the depth of the edging. Below our topsoil about 8 -12 inches is a layer we have come to refer to as "hardpan." It is compacted dirt that is rock hard after being compressed for thousands of years following the Missoula Floods. We have to break through with an iron bar. The spikes were so long we couldn't use the edging, because the spikes wouldn't penetrate the hardpan any better than a shovel or pick axe does. Which means, not at all.
Second, we needed to put in some curves and these turned out to be impossible to bend with the precision we wanted. They are extremely sturdy, which is good, but you are are not going to have lots of curvy S-shaped areas in your yard using this product. We have re-packaged them and are saving them for our next house, which is being built on fill dirt right now. They will work great in our new yard.

I converted my entire front yard into a perennial garden, and I need to edge a 45-foot border with my neighbor's lawn. The border sits at the base of a steep incline, so I got the taller 5-inch EverEdge for runoff prevention. I installed one set of edging as a trial, and I'm going to wait a few days to evaluate it before ordering two more sets to finish the job.
I looked at EverEdge installation videos on YouTube in preparation, and I was pleased to discover actual installation was even easier. Simply pound a piece of edging into place, connect it with another piece, then repeat. EverEdge even works well when installed on uneven ground. It has a rich color and solid, durable feel. It looks much better than plastic edging, though plastic edging is definitely far cheaper.

In summary, EverEdge is worth the price if you're seeking maximum visual appeal. Otherwise, plastic edging is a much more affordable option.

Tip 1: Don't use the black edging for long expanses if you're going for a natural look. Based on the color quality of the brown edging I've no doubt the black edging would look great, but it would look unnatural and would distract from a garden's beauty.

Tip 2: You don't need to bend the bottom metal tongue to secure the sections. The top clip is enough to secure them, and you'll be able to quickly separate them later, if you choose.

I like the quality and the sturdiness, I had to rehammer it in a few times to fix the placement and it still held up perfectly fine. I bought these because the Colmet ones was out of stock and also about $40 more expensive for the same length.

I do wish it offered an easier way to connect the pieces, I'm not a fan of having to pull the tab because once you hammer down a piece and connect another, it's troublesome. If you connect it all and pull the tab and you are dealing with a long length, it's annoying to move/adjust 30+ feet of this all connected to each other. I also wish they offered 90 degree or edge pieces to connect or cover up the holes at the end so it would look more clean.
