Let customers speak for us
from 18 reviewsHave not used these yet but looking forward to trying them where my mulch keeps escaping around some bushes.
Tried a few other solutions for my project but changed courses when I found 2xEdge! Perfect solution!
These are spendy, but I like the way they look and they are easy to use!
These staples are just what we needed. They work great. We needed something to hold a 2 x 6 in place in front of the horse stales to keep the sawdust in. These staples did the job!!
Just as pictured and worked great for my landscaping project
Easy to use and looks great!!
I used the staples to secure both 2x4’s and 2x6’s to create a border between a lawn and pea gravel. I was extremely happy with how well they worked. Really easy to use and the project went quickly. I would purchase these again without hesitation.
We wanted to landscape our parkway plots, which was challenging because of a mature tree with all the roots you'd expect right in the middle. These staples helped us deal with the hump in the center and the compacted soil on all edges. It took these two senior citizens no time at all and no physical stress. We are getting tons of compliments on the edging!
What a simple, perfect idea! So easy to use and the border around my flower bed looks great. Just needed a small border to keep in the mulch. I already had the 2x4s, but couldn't figure out how to keep them from falling over. Love these!
Ingenious! Best item ever for it's purpose. Only issue I had was, living in arid southwest, I had to deep water the areas that I wanted to place the stakes...ground here is like concrete when dry.
This is a great product and easy to use. Looks great , I use a 2x6 instead of a 2x4 and I feel that the staples need to be at least two more inches in length to support the board better. That being said the job turned out great.
What a great idea, they seem to work well and very easy to install. I had a minor problem with my order and the owner (Lisa) went out of her way to make it right. Great to deal with, if I ever need them for anything else I would purchase them again. Thanks
I LOVE this product! Over the years my garden has become increasingly unruly. 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! I started with just one bed, but now plan to "complete the look" by edging all the flower beds in my back yard, and then I'm tackling the small area in front. For the front project, I'm going to build a 2xEDGE border, cover the unwanted lawn with cardboard, then top that with a layer of mulch. By next summer the lawn will be gone and I'll transform the new bed with shade plants. 2xEDGE has inspired me!
I bought several of the landscape staples to edge out one of my garden beds that was on a slope. I bought 2x6's and dug the 2x6's into the higher part of the slope. I know you don't need to dig with the landscape staples, but on the other side of our garden bed we are installing a pea gravel patio for our fire pit and we needed it to be level to hold the gravel in and I wanted the boards to be level with our existing concrete patio. The landscape staples held the 2x6 boards in perfectly on the low end of the where they would not be dug in. And a bonus is that it looks really nice and finished with the staples. This literally takes minutes to install with a mallet. I also hate the look of most landscape edging, but this looks so clean and seamless. Another thing is that I placed my order and received my staples THE NEXT DAY. I couldn't believe it. There was a handwritten message from the owner with the package. Overall super satisfied and would definitely recommend this product!
The 2xEDGE product was incredibly easy to install and has given our Chicago front yard an instant upgrade. Our neighbors have used a variety of types of materials to edge their parkway properties, the vegetation between the sidewalk and curb, and ours definitely looks the best on the block. The 2x4 edging offers a modern, clean look without being fussy or too heavy. We love the product and the final result. We're excited to edge additional areas in our backyard later this summer.
2xEDGE makes wood edging & borders better by design
Wood edging that lasts longer.
✔ 2xEDGE wraps around lumber, keeping it intact and free of screw and nail holes that can weaken it.
Wood edging that stays where you put it.
✔ 2xEDGE Staples are four times wider than a standard landscape nail, providing four times more grip.
Wood edging that won't tip over.
✔ 2xEDGE straddles lumber, fastening it to the ground on both sides to supply two times more stability than a nail.
Wood edging that's easy to extend, reposition, and repair.
✔ 2xEDGE holds each piece of lumber independently to the ground to create modular edging that's easy to change up and maintain. (If you do change things up, you won't leave unsightly trenches all over your property.)
Wood edging that offers more utility.
2xEDGE is designed to stand lumber upright without burying it in a trench giving you maximum usable edging material above ground. (And your wood lumber stays drier because it's not buried in the ground, which adds to its longevity.)
