So far I have no edging, been 6-7 months.
It is more natural looking I think I use fine pine mulch.

Drive round BV to Brownwood the developer has nothing

Who do you recommend for curbing? (I believe it is called "curb it")
Who has the best price and does the best job?

We've had rubber edging for 3 years with no Zoysia invasion. I really don't like curbing.

we have been here 5 years and have no permanent edging around our ever-enlarging beds (yes the plants grow and i keep making the beds bigger). manual edging is no big deal, and doing it several times times a year is just fine. concrete curbs tend to act as a dike and stop water flow from leaving the beds....not good for plants. and what happens when your plants grow, and the bed is too small...too bad, you have curbs. i mulch with pine straw, looks lovely, great for the plants, and is bio-friendly. :024:

Where is the best place to get curb it curbing done?
Who does the best job for the best price?
