I really liked how easy the installation was and I'm going to be looking into that product. Great job 👏

[@notthatronjohnson1187]

Two years ago I had cement landscape edging installed around the perimeter of my home for $7 per foot. You can have it mixed in any color or pattern you want. So far other than a few cracks it's holding up well and the weed eater hasn't harmed it. The cracks are hair line and can only see them if standing right in front of them. No grass grows underneath them. They can be made to look like new with a hand sprayer and some water based sealer. Which I haven't done yet but will in the fall.

Certainly better than most other plastic/composite edging products IMO. A quick follow-up video after they’ve been in the elements for 1-2 years, then maybe after 5 years would be great. Wondering about the effect from frost heave, sunlight/UV, trimming, etc. Someone mentioned chipmunks would enjoy chewing on them-so would squirrels & other rodents, especially the ones in my neighborhood. They have destroyed my decking (wood & composite), vinyl siding & even Christmas lights last year.😡🤬

[@dugster-78]

Wow, at $9.38 per foot... no thanks! But hey, they look great! While I like the look, I just can't see spending that kind of money on something that will actually cause more work in the long run. Since you can't mow right up to them, they will now have to be either weed trimmed and/or sprayed. I usually just taper the mulch down on edges so that I can mow the grass, with no trimming needed. To each his own!

[@notthatronjohnson1187]

In my younger years I didn't even mulch. Just let the grass or weeds grow under and just knock them down with a weed eater and then mow. Sometimes people just make a lot of work for themselves.

[@debrajones156]

You can go to lowes and pay 90 cent for tan cemete brick that will last a life time. Use sand and quik Crete for the slumps in the lawn. Will look professional.

[@archangel6415]

A strong string round the circumference and tightened will give you a good round then centred. I’d have used a a rubber mallet.

[@stevenmoomey2115]

If you want a Permanent Edging, that’s Plastic and will last. Use Composite Decking Boards, without the Groves. I attached home stakes, made with the same composite, to the back side with Stainless Steel Screws and tapped them into the ground with a rubber mallet. Tip wet the ground first, or install after a rain storm. You can make gentle Curves by Heating with a Heat Gun.

[@wayneguess7946]

I would be interested in seeing how well it holds up to weedeating over time?

[@LancoAmish]

Thanks for watching. I very seldom use a weed eater. I spray a thin band of weed and grass killer along borders. Keeps the grass from between and spreading under the borders. The border is thin enough to be masked by the grass from the lawn also.

[@reginahettenhausen1186]

Is it easy to relocate? Can the spikes be pulled out without destroying it and block?

[@rezanorouzian8198]

I wonder what options are available to fill the gaps between the individual blocks? Some types of warm-season grass are quite invasive (ex. bermudagrass) and frequently want to creep into the flowerbeds using the gaps between the blocks.

[@markgriff9265]

You would also have to bury them in the ground a few inches deep. I don't see why you couldn't do it with these plastic blocks.

[@margaretodamo6784]

I have some Bermuda creeping in between but I just weed wack it

[@LancoAmish]

I spray a 1-2” band of weed and grass killer along borders every 6 weeks or so. Keeps the vegetation at bay. Also, mulch on the inside 4 inches deep works great.

[@nyacoustics8373]

cool idea and a gbig savings! can these be stacked two high to make more of a taller border?

[@LancoAmish]

These cannot be stacked but they are manufactured in different styles and heights. I’m pretty sure there are 9 and 12 inch tall ones now. Thanks for watching!

[@retireearly7223]

They are beautiful decorative blocks, but I wonder whether they’re effective grass/weed barriers? Seems like grass/weeds will easily creep under them.

[@LancoAmish]

Thanks for watching. I believe these would be the same as other ground laid border material. I spray a narrow (about 2 inches) band of grass/weed killer along the outside of the border. Easier to mow and no trimming either even though I have trimmed along some of these blocks with a weed trimmer and there’s no damage to them at all. On the inside I keep a good heavy layer of mulch.

[@retireearly7223]

@@LancoAmish thanks for your prompt reply!

[@siclmn]

Steel spikes? How long before they rust away? Plastic looking stone? Trimmer will destroy it quickly. Mulch covering up a tree stump? In the long run the hedge will outgrow the plastic border. You need to use cement blocks that are professionally installed for something that will last.

[@LancoAmish]

8 years 2 months, 4 days, and 6 hours. Trimmer hasn’t destroyed it yet. What’s wrong with mulch covering a tree stump? Does that bother you? What exactly makes one a professional hardscaper…a magnet sign on the side of a truck? You seem to be one of those “professionals” that feel the need to run a competitive product down because of deep seated insecurities. If your way is better it will win in the long run if not you will lose. That’s what’s great about a competitive market system. Badmouthing another’s product or work never has been or will be a sustainable business model.

[@garyK.45ACP]

Your comparing a materials cost to a materials and labor cost. Granted that the plastic blocks are more feasible for a DIY project, but it is not a fair comparison. The _material_ cost is roughly $9.40 foot. That is NOT cheap for edging.

[@Kontract_]

Did you come across any where the male connector was cut too large to fit? I ordered 4 boxes and 6 of the 20 pieces were too large and I don’t have the tools to shave them down. The seller is in the process of doing a replacement for me but curious if you came across that seeing how many you ordered.

[@LancoAmish]

I had one piece like that. It also didn’t have any stake holes drilled in it. I thought it may have been a reject that got into the pallet by mistake.

[@tonynguyen1788]

[@natalieearley579]

After time would a weed whacker damage the stones?

[@KeMyOoZ]

Can you add more than 2 stakes to each peace if you buy extra? Or does it only comes with 2 holes

[@LancoAmish]

You could drill your own holes if desired but after a year mine are still quite solid. I usually run my mower deck right up to them.

[@michaelpipkins4546]

Interesting product. However, the website says nothing about UV resistance, chemical resistance (weed killer), fade resistance, freeze/thaw cycles. It mentions weed trimmer but doesn't back it up with any sort of warranty. In one place is says that the product lasts "up to" 20 years and in another it just says over 15 years... but that doesn't mean anything. "Up to" could mean 6 months and they have no provisions about a 15 year warranty listed. If it really lasted 15 years and met all those conditions above I might be interested.

Very informative video, nice job. About the only question I have is what happens if you have a run that isn't a multiple of 48"? Is there a way to cut a 48" section, say in half, and have a finished end?

[@LancoAmish]

They are easily cut. It wouldn’t be too much work to use an end piece and fit it to where you cut it. A jigsaw or oscillating multi tool would make it simple. You’d have to cut a slot in the end to fit the pieces together.

[@philknut9573]

@@LancoAmish I got'cha... rotary tool to carve out an opening then attach a start block to finish the end. Genius!

[@netterstyl]

A potential problem than I can see developing with this product (which has a very aesthetically appealing, authentic-looking surface structure) is grass - esp. species that spread by runners - infiltrating the front gaps between the blocks and becoming a constant headache to remove - and you couldn't very easily do that with a weedeater. Wouldn't be that big a deal if you're dealing with a short section - but hundreds of linear feet of it could possibly result in a major maintenance pain. The gaps between blocks were of course a necessary result of the manufacturing design, but that design also results in detracting from the otherwise nice look. Outside curves would be especially unattractive with their gaps, but straight runs would also suffer from that unavoidable appearance (and possibly maintenance) problem. Also, it's been mentioned that the shiny stake heads are visible, and that would further detract from the look. Compare this setup with a professional (or good DIY) real masonry job where the gaps don't exist or are minimized or where they are mortared up, and which provides a more finished-off, neat, and permanent appearance. Remember, you often do get what you pay for. I would suggest that if you can live with this design, and where your budget/time prevents anything more expensive, that you order a minimum of one section to see if you really will be satisfied with it in the long run. Will that plastic suffer from mold/mildew/UV problems over time, and need to be pressure-washed, resulting in potential dislodgement problems? (Think about those poly downspout trays that become icky with mildew and UV-damaged over time.) And keep in mind that you will not be able to just throw these sections down on unprepared ground and have anything that approximates a neat, finished-off appearance. You will have to level the surface of the ground, and that takes a considerable amount of work. And if things are even slightly out of kilter, those gaps are going to be even more pronounced and unattractive, not to mention the non-level of the top surface of the run of blocks. Let the photos/videos of real-world installations of this product be your partial guide. I did, and I wasn't impressed at all. For some people this might be a perfect solution, but for me, I think I'm going to have to pass.

[@shiner4mIDAHO]

I read a couple of pages of comments and didn't see this addressed at all: but you're locked in with those lengths, yes? Like, the width of your hedge row seemed to fit perfectly with the dimensions this product comes in ... but what if it didn't? What if you needed to extend it 10 more inches? It seems like you're SOL with this product. But if your project matches rigid dimensions, this seems like an ok solution.

[@LancoAmish]

It doesn’t feel plasticy at all. Its rather thick but still pliable between pieces. I believe they have samples you can order from their website. Poly resins are used a lot in outdoor applications. Snow plow manufactures are even using it. Poly lumber furniture has been around for years. I have bird houses made of it and they’ve been in the weather for 5 years now…look like new still. Poly resins have come a long way in the past few decades.

[@StreakingTiger]

I have a Bermuda lawn and this would be worthless as the Bermuda would run right under this stuff and invade my landscaping area. It might look good, and be cheaper than concrete edging, but would not solve my biggest problem of having to dig the Bermuda out of my landscaping. That stuff grows everywhere that you do not want it to. Maybe if one would dig a 3-4" trench before installing it, but not sure if that would help. Anyone else see how to make this work for Bermuda? I have concrete edging right now and it works because it is really deep below the surface, and Bermuda still tries to find ways into the landscaping. Interesting stuff here though and it might work for Fescue lawns I guess. The concrete edging can be shaped to look really nice.
