    • Powder coated colors & tones

      Our powder coated staples resist rust and are UV-rated. Eight colors and tones to choose from. Add a pop of color to your landscape and garden design.

    Using 2xEDGE, anyone can easily create distinctive wood edging that installs in minutes and lasts for years.

      Installation takes just 3 steps and a rubber mallet:

      • The correct way to grip a 2xEDGE Staple that's been placed over 2x4 lumber with a focus on where to place the fingers.

        STEP 1

        Place your lumber on the ground.

      • The correct way to grip a 2xEDGE Staple that's been placed over 2x4 lumber with a focus on where to place the thumb.

        STEP 2

        Place a 2xEDGE Staple over the lumber.

      • ★★★★★ / "Super satisfied"

        "This literally takes minutes to install with a mallet. I hate the look of most landscape edging, but this looks so clean and seamless. Overall super satisfied and would definitely recommend this product!" (Review verified by Judge.me)

        Four Times the Grip

        The shank of a standard landscape nail is 3/8" wide. 2xEDGE is 1-3/4” wide, offering four times the grip of a nail. Edging stays where it’s put.

        Twice the Stability

        2xEDGE Staples fasten lumber to the ground in two places, supplying twice the stability of a nail. Edging is less prone to tipping.

      • Person holding a 2x4 in the air with a 2xEDGE Staple hanging from it to illustrate how the staples wrap around lumber

        No Holes = No Rot

        Drilling holes in lumber for screws or nails makes it vulnerable to rot and rapid degradation. 2xEDGE wraps around lumber, keeping it intact. Edging lasts longer.

      • Two-by lumber installed along a city sidewalk with 2xEDGE Staples to create raised mulch beds

        Modular Edging

        2xEDGE fastens each piece of lumber to the ground independently to create modular edging that's easy to extend, modify, and maintain.

        More Utility

        2xEDGE is designed to stand two-by lumber upright without burying it in a trench (that you have to dig). More edging material is available above ground (and edging stays drier which combats rot).

        Unique Wood Edging

        Unlike landscape timbers, 4x4 posts, or railroad ties, two-by lumber has a substantial yet streamlined profile. Get 2xEDGE and effortlessly use this distinctive profile in your landscape.

      • ★★★★★ / "I LOVE this product"

        "I've never used an edging, but this summer the floppy flowers and creeping weeds compelled me to search out a border I could use for my plant beds. I chose the satin black staples and paired them with cedar-stained wood. My garden has never looked better!" (Review verified by Judge.me)
