Garden edging: which material should you choose?
A well-designed garden stands or falls on the details. Edging is one of those often underestimated elements, yet it makes all the difference between a garden that looks complete and one that feels unfinished. Moreover, proper edging offers essential functional benefits: it keeps materials neatly separated, prevents erosion, and makes maintenance much easier.
At ECCO Products, you’ll find a wide range of garden edging solutions – from flexible PVC to durable steel or corten profiles. We’re happy to guide you through the different materials and their applications.
