    "Great Product"

    These are perfect for small garden projects! I kept googling ideas for simple wood and metal garden edging and this is exactly what I was thinking of. They are the only product like this out there! It's so easy and now I want to make beds around my whole yard! Lisa was so helpful and took the time to personally leave a hand written note with my order. Fantastic customer service! - Anna C.

    Why I Make & Sell 2xEDGE Staples

    2xEDGE Staples creator Lisa Brooks preparing to install a Robins Egg Blue 2xEDGE Staple on a piece of stained pressure treated 2x4 lumber to create flower bed edging.

    I created 2xEDGE Staples because I needed to install landscape edging on my property and I wanted something natural, attractive, and easy to use.

    I also wanted something different than the typical options available at big box stores.

    When I tried out the prototyped staples and realized they really worked, they were really easy to use, and they made great looking edging, I knew other gardeners, landscapers and DIYers would find them useful. And so I created 2xEDGE LLC.

    And thanks for stopping by!
