Product Information

Once you’ve established a crisp, vertical edge to a lawn it is important to trim it regularly. During warm growing periods, such as spring and early fall, this may need to be done weekly. Grass slows in growth during hot and cold weather reducing the need for any clipping. Lawn edging issues to watch out for Smartedge saves time and effort for the professional and amateur gardener and at the same time keeps your garden looking great all year round. Smartedge has been designed for the lawn edge and flower beds or between lawn and path preventing roots and earth distorting the lawn edge. One edge is fixed into the ground and prevents root and earth penetration, whilst the top edge allows grass to grow through thus forming a durable and hidden barrier. plastic edging is an inexpensive choice and easy to install. It comes in a variety of shapes and colours. In fact, some plastic edging is made to look just like stone coping.

it can facilitate garden maintenance by stopping the soil in flowerbeds from spilling onto pathways; The water absorption test measures the amount of water a stone can hold when fully saturated. This is expressed as a percentage of the total weight. So, a result of 1% means that when fully saturated, 1% of a stone’s weight will be water. As a guide, paving such as porcelain is usually less than 0.5% porosity, granite is around 0.5%, sandstone and limestone are in the region of 1-3% and concrete, 6% Please be careful when handling the product. We recommend the use of gloves and protective goggles. Unroll your Smartedge. The A-frames are folded against the inside edge. Ease the A-frames away from the inside edge to an angle measuring approximately 45 degrees. DO NOT OVER-BEND AS THIS WILL STOP THE A-FRAMES FROM GRIPPING THE GRASS.If a section of lawn edge has become too damaged to successfully create a firm edge in line with the rest of the lawn, you can repair it. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to edge a lawn, as during this time the grass is growing steadily and the underlying soil is soft enough to cut into. It will also give any newly added sections or repaired lawn edges time to regrow and establish before the heat of the summer takes hold. Slip resistance testing is a complex and varied area however the two main tests for domestic paving are either the pendulum test (PTV) or the ramp test (R rating). With the pendulum test, a pendulum is swung over the surface of the stone which will slow it down. The rougher the surface, the more it will slow the pendulum and the higher the value (PTV). It is tested both wet and dry. The lowest permitted value for external use when wet is 36.

There is some debate as to which is the best practice, but the RHS suggest mowing the lawn first, before clipping the edges with long handled shears. This way the results tend to be neater and more even and there’s less chance of compressing newly cut edges with the lawn mower. It’s really important to mark out your flower bed before you start cutting, to give you a line to follow,’ Schubert continues. ‘It’s really not a good idea to try to do it by eye! For straight lines, use string stretched between two canes. For a perfect circle, use string tied to a stake in the ground at the center point, then walk around it, holding the string taut, using marking paint on the ground.’ Narrow cuts in a lawn should be able to repair themselves given a few weeks and moist, warm weather conditions. 6.

More often than not, the driver will manage the delivery without a hitch. However in some circumstances, the driver will need assistance. For example: A clean, sharp, straight spade is a good alternative to any lawn edger. Ensure the blade is as flat as possible, many spades are slightly concave which can lead to unsightly, scalloped edges. Use a wooden board for neat straight lines or a rope (or hose) as a guide for sweeping curves. Frost resistance testing is called the Freeze/ Thaw test and is conducted by repeatedly freezing the paving to -40 Fahrenheit and then thawing it, before repeating the cycle again. During this process the paving will lose some of its flexibility and the key to good quality paving is that it does not lose a high level of resilience during the test cycle. Losses in Mpa should not exceed 5 Mpa
