Surprised and a bit disappointed to see the stone effect is only on one side, the reverse is just a plain recessed panel where they came out of the mould. However, once in place they do smarten up the edge of the lawn, I just turned the plain side away from view. With delivery include I suppose they represent good value for the purpose they perform - smartening up the garden. The fact that they all lock together to make one continuous length is a useful feature. All in all, I have no complaints with my purchase.

Looks better in the photos than it actually is, but there again looks ok from a distance. The rear of the edgings are not finished like the front so are ugly to look at. If you have soft sandy soil I should imagine they would install easily, but with my heavy clay soil they do not push in at all, which is not helped by the fact that they have blunt bases rather than a point. I found the best way to install them was to form a slot first with a hand fork, and then gently push them in by hand. Chance are they will break if you try and hammer them in due to the flimsy nature of the plastic. They can only be connected in one direction, so you have to start on the left and work to the right. Having said all that, they do actually do a decent job in separating the lawn from overflowing borders and keep the area tidy. If you want a budget method of forming an edging and are careful enough to install them correctly, they will do a reasonable job.Read full review

These are really quite flimsy. I bought to replace rotten log edging along a raised soil area which contains cotswold stone chippings with pots on top. They are not really very sturdy and several cracked when attempting to slot them in. My ground is very clay-heavy and full of stones. I used a flat, metal weeding tool to create the spike holes in the end. 'Just hammer in' wasn't an option, as the plastic just split. Unless you have very soft soil or with no stones in, you might struggle with these. Overall, I'm happy with how it looks and the fact it won't rot like the wood did. Plus you can trim them with a strong pair of scissors to fit.

It does work, but it is lightweight plastic so you need soft soil if you want to get it into the ground. The grey colour is more like light blue which is a bit odd in a garden, wish I’d gone for the brick colour. I would recommend it despite these negative comments

I am happy with the plastic lawn edging, but i have had to knock of a star because the plastic tips that you bang into the ground are very flimsy i broke 3 trying to get them into the ground and i used a rubber mallet and my ground is not that hard . So in the end i had to make a hole with a metal spike first. But once in they do look nice, but i would not buy them again.
