10 Reasons to Choose 2xEDGE
-
1. Garden edging you can customize.
2xEDGE works with any type of lumber - wood, composite wood, recycled plastic. Use lumber off-the-shelf or cut it to your exact needs - whatever works for you.
-
2. Edging that lasts longer.
2xEDGE wraps around lumber, keeping it intact and free of holes that can weaken it. Wrap your lumber in 16 gauge steel and make long lasting edging.
-
3. Edging that stays put.
2xEDGE is four times wider than a standard landscape nail. You get four times more grip so your edging stays where you want it.
-
4. Edging that won't tip over.
2xEDGE straddles lumber, fastening it to the ground on both sides. You get two times more stability than a nail and your edging stays upright.
-
5. Edging that's fast & easy to install.
2xEDGE requires just one tool - a rubber mallet - to transform lumber into edging. And no digging or drilling means even less work for you!
-
6. Edging that's easy to extend & repair.
2xEDGE holds each piece of lumber independently to the ground. You'll have modular edging that's easy to add to and maintain.
-
7. Edging that's easy to reposition & reuse.
2xEDGE doesn't require that you dig a trench to install your lumber. Need to change up your edging? Just pull it up & move it - without leaving trenches all over your yard.
-
8. Edging that's eco-friendly.
2xEDGE works with natural woods like pine, cedar, and redwood. Choose sustainably harvested lumber and create Earth-friendly edging.
-
9. Edging that offers more utility.
2xEDGE stands lumber upright above ground giving you up to 6-inches of edging. Bonus: wood edging stays drier and lasts longer because it's installed on - not in - the ground.
-
10. Edging that's unique.
2xEDGE lets you easily use the substantial yet streamlined profile of two-by lumber in your landscape. You'll make edging that's distinctly different from typical landscape lumbers like railroad ties and landscape timbers.
Love them ordered over 50 for a project and they were great.
And what a project Antonio! Thank you for sharing project photos. The edging turned out GREAT! Appreciate your purchases and so glad the staples worked so well for you. Nice! -Lisa
We love our new edging! Very easy to install and creates very simple and clean lines for the garden!
I see those 'simple and clean lines'. This looks fantastic Jill! Glad the project was easy and that you love the result. Me too! Thanks so much for sharing these photos and for giving 2xEDGE a try! Lisa
I wanted to edge either side of a long (80+ foot) sidewalk. Installation was pretty easy - even when I had to remove and adjust the boards. I really like the way it turned out and have gotten many compliments from neighbors.
I got goosebumps when I saw your photos Kelly. This looks AWESOME! Edging around sidewalks - not the easiest of projects. I'm glad the install was easy enough and that you - and your neighbors - like the result. I do too! Thanks for sharing these great photos, and thanks for choosing 2xEDGE! -Lisa
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!
I am so happy the staples worked for you - and worked so well for you Anna! Love the photos and I think I may love the result you achieved more than you do! Looks great! Thank you so much for this feedback and for the compliment. I'm glad the service you received was fantastic - it's what I strive for. 😊Take care - Lisa
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!
You definitely rose to the challenge Ellen - your parkway looks amazing! Thanks for sharing photos! And for giving 2xEDGE a try. Really appreciate your business.
These are great! Just finished putting in a 2x4 yard border around our backyard. My husband did it alone in under an hour and it looks great!
Perfect for fixing my edging.
Perfect for my project!! As described and exactly what I was looking for!!
These things are very flimsy. For the price, you'd think they'd be pretty sturdy!
Hi Jerry - I'm sorry to hear the staples didn't feel sturdy to you. They're 16-gauge steel so I'd love to understand more about what you experienced. If they bent during install, site conditions are usually the culprit. This post covers the most common scenarios: https://2xedge.com/site-conditions. Happy to help troubleshoot if you want to reach out. Lisa
This was the perfect size to shore up my landscaping boarder.
Just as described! Thank you, these are quality and beautiful.
No - thank YOU Joanne. 'Quality' and 'beautiful' - your review made my day! Glad the staples worked so well for you. That's my goal! Thanks for giving 2xEDGE a try. Appreciate you. Lisa
Very high quality and well made product!
Great item. Great services to the yard!
They are probably meant for softer soil. Unfortunately the dirt where I live is way too hard.
I bought 8 but gave up after i bent 3 of them.
Good product just not for desert dirt.
Aaron - It was a pleasure emailing with you. Thanks for troubleshooting your installation with me. I'm a California native and I know that California desert soil. It's no joke! I'm so sorry the staples didn't work out. Your return shipping label is on the way and a full refund for your original purchase of 8 staples is too. Thanks again for giving 2xEDGE a try. I hope you find a good solution that fits your needs. Lisa
Was looking for a product like this and found these. So glad I did, they look great and they work great!
So great that you found something that works great for you Miguel. You're happy, I'm happy. Win-win! Thanks for this update - appreciate it and you. Lisa
These worked just great. I wish I would have come up with the idea!
That's what I love to hear: 'worked just great.' Thrilled that this was your experience Chris. And it IS a good idea isn't it? Thanks for trying 2xEDGE! Lisa
Pretty awesome, will be ordering more soon!!!
So glad the staples worked out for you Karla! Thanks for giving 2xEDGE a try!
Quality product! My wife didn’t like the concept I was going for, so I had to return the product. Lisa in Customer Service processed my return in five minutes. A great product, backed by excellent customer service, rare these days!!
'Great', 'excellent', 'rare' - that's what I'm going for! Appreciate your kind words, Kevin. And thanks for giving 2xEDGE a try. Lisa
Great.
Glad the staples worked out Dennis!
I looked through so many different gardening websites trying to find edging that was simple and sturdy. This was it! Super easy to install and looks lovely around my garden bed. Lisa was also very gracious and applied a discount to my order that I had just missed the window on. Would definitely recommend!
So appreciate your feedback Jessicca. Simple, sturdy, easy to use, looks lovely - the very boxes I'm trying to tick when it comes to garden edging! Glad you're happy with the result. Thanks so much for your purchase and for giving 2xEDGE a try. Lisa
Great customer service and amazing product!!!!
Wow - thanks Jerry! Great customers get great customer service. :) Appreciate your kind words. Lisa
Trying to eliminate plastic from my garden and this seems like an elegant, plastic-free solution for edging my beds.
Exactly what I was looking for. Flexible installation and I'm guessing easy to adjust later if you want. More green friendly.
I love the idea of these. But they are not strong enough. They kept bending and I ended up having to buy some cheap little stakes to keep the boards down.
Thanks for sharing your experience Shelly. Emailing with you about your attempt to install on what sounds like super hard, compacted ground is helpful. Another customer wrote a review about a similar experience. Her soil was 'like concrete'. She soaked it and was able to install. I'm sorry the staples didn't work out for reasons you couldn't have seen coming. I've processed your refund as we discussed. Thanks again for your feedback and for giving 2xEDGE a try!
Fabulous
Not much to argue with here. Thanks for your to-the-point feedback Alice! And thanks for giving 2xEDGE a try - glad it worked out for you.
