USE THE CHOOSER
  • xEDGE steel staple wrapping around a 2x lumber board instead of piercing it. "Wrap around design."

    Screws, nails and holes for rebar let water in. 

    2xEDGE surrounds lumber instead of going through it, so there’s less chance for water to penetrate and rot to set in.

    You won't have to do this job again next year.

  • 2x lumber sitting on the soil line, held by a 2xEDGE staple. "No-dig, above ground install."

    The worst edging job is digging a trench. 

    With 2xEDGE lumber sits on the soil, not in it - no trench needed. Plus, wood stays drier and can last longer.

    You won't spend your weekend digging trenches or nursing your aching back.

  • 2xEDGE staple with two legs gripping a 2x board. "Two anchoring points, not one."

    Edging that’s tipped over can’t do its job. 

    2xEDGE holds lumber in place on 3 sides so  it's less likely to tip or lean.

    You won't need to spend time on repairs or sweeping up mulch and gravel.

  • Scale comparison: 1-3/4" wide 2xEDGE staple beside a 3/4" landscape nail head.

    Edging that’s not snug to the ground can shift. 

    2xEDGE is 1-3/4" wide - over twice as wide as a landscape nail head. That extra grip keeps shifting in check.

    You won’t have a yard full of misaligned edging and crooked lines.
