CORE Edge powered by ECCO is a flexible edge finish for straight lines and organic shapes. Quick to install thanks to the Dual Lock Mechanism™. Up to 15 years longer lifespan than standard edge finishing.
You drive CORE Edge powered by ECCO into the ground using a wooden block and a hammer, and connect the lengths via the Dual Lock Mechanism™. No special tools, no complicated preparation. With a usable length of 1 metre per piece, you can work quickly, which lowers the installation cost per linear metre.
Thanks to the flexible steel, CORE Edge powered by ECCO effortlessly creates straight lines, smooth curves and 90° corners. One product is enough for any floor plan, so you need to keep fewer different profiles in stock and can create any shape on site.
Thanks to the high-quality coatings and finishes – from Corten steel to galvanised and powder-coated steel – CORE Edge powered by ECCO is weather-resistant and low-maintenance. The edging is also resistant to lawnmowers and light vehicles, which keeps aftercare and complaints to a minimum.
A durable, flexible steel edging for the clean finishing of lawns, paths, patios and borders.

CORE Edge powered by ECCO is easy and quick to install, without any special tools.
Step 1 — Prepare the ground
Prepare the ground where you want to install the edging. If the ground is hard, loosen it to make driving it in easier.
Step 2 — Place the first length
Place the first length of CORE Edge powered by ECCO into the ground, close to the dug-out edge, with the logo on the visible side.
Step 3 — Drive it in
Drive the edging in using a wooden block and a hammer. The block protects the top edge and makes the work safer.
Step 4 — Connect the lengths
Connect the next length using the large connecting tab at the top of each edging.
Step 5 — Lock
Using pliers, bend the locking tabs at the bottom sideways so that both lengths are fully secured (Dual Lock Mechanism™).
Step 6 — Anchor (looser soil)
On looser ground, use the anchoring pins: insert the clip through the opening at the bottom, tap the pin in and drive it down until it sits against the clip for extra fixing.
Step 7 — Finish
Repeat until the end. The result is a clean finish—straight, curved, or in 90° corners.

That depends on how tight the bend needs to be.
Tight bend
Bend each edging piece separately around a suitable cylindrical object, such as a bucket filled with soil or a round post.
Gentle curve
You have two options, depending on how many people are on site.
The preformed anchoring pins can easily be tapped into soft ground. It is recommended to place a piece of brick or a flat stone under the edging at regular intervals to prevent the edging from sinking under direct pressure. An alternative is to support the edging with a concrete backing, positioned just below the top edge. When the edging needs to protrude above ground level, for example with a raised border, the galvanised stabilising pins provide extra support and long-lasting stability.
The anchoring pins for CORE Edge are extremely durable and can be driven into most firm surfaces using a wooden mallet or a wooden block. If the surface is particularly hard, it is recommended to loosen it first with a digging fork or a pickaxe. Once the edging is in place, press the soil firmly against it by lightly tamping it down. If the edging needs to protrude above ground level, for example in a raised bed, the galvanised stabilising pins may be needed for extra support.
