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. -Kelly K.
Wood edging that holds up, by 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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
If you can use a mallet you can make wood edging.
"It took these two senior citizens no time at all and no physical stress." -Ellen H.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many staples do I need?
There are two ways to figure out how many staples you need for your project. Bonus: get a lumber list, and project cost estimate, too.
- Our staple calculator gives you a staple count based on the size of the lumber you plan to use.
- Our project chooser gives you a staple count based on the shape and size of the bed you want to create.
What do I need besides the staples?
You'll need a 16 ounce rubber mallet and standard 2x lumber (2x2, 2x3, 2x4, 2x6). You can find both at home improvement and hardware stores.
Is lumber included?
No. 2xEDGE ships only the steel staples. You'll need to purchase standard 2x lumber (up to 2x6) separately. You can find it at lumber yards, hardware stores, and home improvement stores.
What is 2x lumber?
"2x" is the name for the 2-inch lumber sold at home improvement stores, hardware stores, and lumber yards. It's actually 1.5" thick. Depending on your location, cedar, redwood, pressure treated, and untreated pine or fir are typically available. We recommend lumber rated for ground contact.
Which lumber sizes work?
2xEDGE works with 2x2, 2x3, 2x4, and 2x6 of any length.
Can I use composite or recycled plastic lumber?
Yes, if it's true 2x sizing (1.5" thick). Not all composite lumber is sized this way, so check before you buy.
Will I need to cut my lumber?
Not if standard lengths work for you. 2x lumber comes in 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, and 20 ft. Need a different length? Cut it with a hand or power saw. Home improvement stores, hardware stores, and lumber yards often cut it for free or a small fee.
Will the staples rust?
Powder coated finishes are UV rated and resist corrosion. Rustic Steel is raw steel and develops a natural rust patina.
Will these work in hard soil?
Usually. 2xEDGE works in most soil. Dry, hard, or compacted soil (dry clay, caliche, desert hardpack) is tougher, and watering the area first can help. Before you buy, push a screwdriver 3 to 4 inches into the ground where your edging will go. Read our soil guide.
Can I remove the edging later?
Yes. Pull up your lumber and move it. No digging means no trenches left in your yard. No drilling means your lumber stays whole and reusable.
What if one part of my edging gets damaged?
Pull out the damaged board and swap in a new one. Each board is anchored on its own, so the rest of your edging stays put.
Is 2xEDGE sold in brick & mortar stores?
Currently 2xEDGE staples are only available to purchase online through 2xedge.com.

Works as designed, seems to be fine. Followed suggested number of staples based on length of 2 x 4 and used screws anywhere the ends butted together. Word to those buying wood fir your project, Lowes in my area did not carry “ground contact” pressure treated they only carried above ground pressure treated. You want ground contact lumber.
Thanks for sharing your experience and for sharing a photo of your finished project! I'm glad the staples worked out for you. Good tip about lumber rated for 'ground contact'. Thanks for that! -Lisa
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.
Good product and good transaction.
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.
