Description
Collier edging offers professional landscapers
a long-lasting, heavy gauge steel product that provides attractive landscape
areas separation and stays in place for years. The heavy Ga. by 12” integral
anchor stakes are the key to this edging system’s stability. It resists
frost heave and other ground-movement conditions that cause many other
edging products to either break or work out of the ground. The new attached
stake edging uses the same staking system and comes with similar stakes
attached to each section of edging. Steel edging has been the choice of
the professionals that design and install landscape projects at many of
our national monuments in Washington D.C.; the most famous of the historic
mansions in Newport, Rhode Island; and some of the largest corporate headquarters,
college campuses, institutions, and resort properties in America.
Features
Collier landscape edging projects (center photo)
provide a very clean cut separation of planting beds and other decorative
areas without being a noticeable part of the overall landscape scene. The
edging is a mild steel product without radius restrictions that can be
easily formed on the job to conform to just about any configuration. For
example, special presentation beds, such as you might see at the entrances
of large commercial properties, with landscaped letters, company logos,
etc., can be easily formed. Installation is quicker, easier, and less expensive
than any other type of durable edging product available.
Applications
Planting beds and tree rings are the most common
uses of Collier steel edging. Other popular applications are brick and
cast-stone paver containment, borders for gravel and asphalt walkways,
drives, jogging trails, and the like. Materials & Dimensions: The material
used for the edging is hot-rolled, low-carbon steel that is soft enough
to bend flat on itself without cracking. The product conforms to ASTM-A564
