FAQs
Which edging material is best for a curved pathway?
Timber, steel, and granite setts are ideal for curved pathways due to their flexibility or ability to be shaped.
How long does timber edging last?
When treated and maintained properly, timber edging can last 15–20 years, depending on the environment.
Are steel borders prone to rust?
Galvanised or powder-coated steel resists rust, but if you prefer the weathered look, Corten steel develops a protective rust layer over time without compromising its strength.
