Garden Edging - 10-Piece Outdoor Decorative Flower Bed Border Set for Landscaping - 8-Foot Interlocking Stone Trim with Stakes by Pure Garden (Putty)

I purchased these to provide a barrier to a newly planted pecan tree. I just needed a nice visual to help make people aware the 2 foot tree was there so they wouldn't trample it. I placed the pieces in a circle around the newly planted tree. I found the cobblestone to look just like the picture. It was easy to assemble and place in the ground. I did dig a hole to place each support rod that extends from each piece into the ground because it is plastic and I didn't want to risk bending or breaking the plastic. I have had that happen before when purchasing similar plastic borders. Then I filled and packed the sand back in for support. Then I added mulch around the tree that went to the top of the border. That way you don't see the back side and the mulch looks nice around the tree besides all the other benefits of using mulch in gardens. I have had the border for four months now and haven't had any problems with it at all. It has held together in a circle without any adjustments to it as well as staying firmly in the ground.

This is a very flimsy item. I bought it as a line indicator between an area that is treated for weeds and my yard. There is no way to install this in a straight line as each piece may flop over at the end no matter how far it’s inserted into the ground. Also there were pieces that were not properly formed making them useless. This might be acceptable to install along an existing concrete patio as a decorative trim only. Would give zero stars if able.

Overall will do what I want it to do .. mostly! This product does NOT create 90 degree corners .. unless you push hard enough to break the pieces! Since that's what happened, I'll use those sections on my 1 real corner. The other review that said he needed a chisel to make holes before inserting the stakes is correct. I tried soaking the soil but they still wouldn't go in more than half was AND no way can you pound 'em in! If you're trying to do an odd shape like I am, plan to overlap at "corners" or tight bends since the sections probably wont' exactly match the dimensions you need. The "bends" are good enough for my semi-circle and this will look fine and do what I need once it's finished but you DO get what you pay for, and there ARE limitations.

It’s exactly what I wanted!!!I read the reviews and still bought two boxes of these and I’m glad I did! I have a small garden and I need these to 1). Keep my pitt bull out of my flower bed and 2). For the beauty. Although the dog can walk over these boarders, it still helps, because he stops now. They are cheap, so not ideal for small kids. Not one broke as I was installing, but that’s only because I read the reviews. I’m happy with this product! It’s as described and I saved money! I ordered one more box, I should add more, so if they break I can just replace. Perfect!!

I used this to make 2 round borders around some irrigation valves, easy to put together and put un the ground

These are pretty flimsy. They would not have been able to even get in the ground except ground was very soft do to a lot of rain. They really only work well to connect in straight line. Very disappointed in the quality. Only kept some because they matched the look we wanted. I don’t think they will last long.They can come apart easily and not that easy to install

They came on time and were of good quality. No falt of the dealer but my one dog loved them too, and pulled everyone up and was running around the yard gleefully with his new chew toy. I gathered them all in so he did not poke the other dog's eye out with the stake part. This was a new thing for my interesting 9 year old sheltie mix rescue. But they are nice for your garden if you have no dogs, or dogs that ignore such new developments in your yard.

As other reviewers have reported, these are very flexible and finished on only one side. The other side must be hidden by dirt or mulch. The connectors -- not shown in the product photos -- are clearly visible and although others reported differently, I found them to be flimsy. Do not expect to pound these in with a hammer. I drove a pry bar into the ground to make a hole and then inserted the stakes by pressing them gently. The manufacturing cost of these cannot be more than a few cents each, if that. Once installed, and only with great difficulty, the appearance was OK but it did not look as though they would last very long.
