Hi all,

We bought a house last year and the backyard has artificial turf. We don’t like the wooden edging the previous owners built in so we were thinking of using concrete edgers instead.

Does anyone have experience with that? Anything we need to be cautious of? I hope I don’t need to remove the turf to do this, so curious about your experience.

    Do some research on setting them. You may need to roll the turf back and dig down further. Setting them on tamped sand may also help keep them straight as they go through freeze/thaw cycles. Of course that means more digging.

    Let me know when you’ve figured it out - I’m considering a similar project.

      Thanks for the advice, I live on the California coast, so weather is never below 45 degrees. What would you suggest in this scenario, assuming tamper sand is a good option for colder climates?
