The edging arrived on time and was mostly what I expected. I’m using it in circles around trees so waving is not an issue. Would have given 5 stars but the manufacturer told me it was 1/4″ thick. It’s closer to 1/8″. Looks good.

This looks good and the 5″ depth allows you to put it into the ground and still have enough sticking out for a modest raised bed.
Just be sure you roll it out against the rolled side and put heavy items [like cinder blocks, lengthwise landscape timbers, etc.] all along it for AT LEAST a week to straighten it out for straight lines. Buildig curves beds seem to be no problem.
Secondly, I used the cheap plastic holders bought here online for use every two foot to keep it straight. Use as screwdriver or straight part of a crowbar to make the holes you will pound them into or you’ll have broken ones.
Then at every four foot I went and bought and put in metal U-shaped edging spikes {purchased at L**we’s in the garden dept] to make sure it stays in good. And that garden center also has 90 degree stakes so a 90 deg corner is possible and looks very professional.
I woukd give this product 5 stars, except for the cheapo stakes to hold it down.
And the timeline for use; you’ve got to get that bend out of it or it will try to curl back on you.

We used this edging as a border around our veggie garden to separate the garden walkway (pebbles) from the grass in the main part of our backyard. It works for keeping the grass edges controlled and is fairly easy to mow up against when cutting the grass. It also cuts easily if you have to shorten a piece and bends easily going around corners, etc.
The main problem we have with it is that it doesn’t lay in a straight line very well – it starts to want to bend, curve and get wavy making the edging look really sloppy. Since we are using it between pebbles and grass, I can understand that the grass growing against it and the weight of us walking on the pebbles may cause it to bend slightly, but it got really sloppy looking. Also, it’s not staying in a straight line in areas where there is no foot traffic whatsover.
We bought extra pegs and had to put a peg at least a minimum of 10-12 inches apart to keep this stuff straight — and in some areas the pegs are much closer together – more like 6-7 inches.
Also, our ground is quite hard and we ended up having to make a hole for the peg with a pointed tool as trying to hammer the pegs into the hard ground ended up breaking the tops of the pegs. (I also used the pegs in the herb garden where the soil is much softer and didn’t have a problem with the pegs breaking in the softer soil.)
Bottom line – we took most of it out and are planning to remove what is left in the near future. Perhaps the 5 inch product would have been better for our purpose.
