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.

    Wood takes a lot of up keep ( staining, fixing lose boards every so often)and invites termites. I agree, I love the wood as well. However it’s important to be mindful of up keep

      It’s more expensive than SPF, but I spring for cedar - I built my planter boxes, garden beds, and patio furniture out of it. No staining required, zilch upkeep. I built a 3m x 1M raised bed planter several years ago and it’s required zero upkeep so far. Ditto my patio set built five years ago.
