Best Landscaping Edging?

I’m looking to install landscape edging on all my flower beds in the front yard. I hate maintaining the beds and my hope is that the edging will block the runners coming from my centipede grass.

Thoughts?

I don’t use edging for my centipede. Just develop a deep enough trench with an edger and the centipede has trouble getting into the beds. But I edge it every time I mow. Only takes a few minutes.

I have bermuda and Col-Met edging has worked well for me. I edged in the outline of my beds first then staked this edging into the groove. Make sure the stakes face the bed and use a rubber mallet instead of a hammer

This, and it looks so much better as well.

Same, I use a live edge with a trench and it looks great...

Grab something like this and get after it...easy to upkeep with a string trimmer

Edging isn’t needed with a good cutting program. If you aren’t keep up with consistently, the grass will find a way in eventually. It’s why I laugh when people think weed fabric will prevent weeds. Slow them? A little. Prevent them? No

Anyone know what kind of tree the short looking purple tree in that picture is?

You cannot beat the good ole weedeater. With that being said- if you are going to put down metal edging, go to a landscape supply place or even save a couple bucks and go to a steel supply company and buy you some 20' sticks of 4 or 6 inch 3/16" flat bar...

You can buy the stakes at the same landscape supply shops.

the metal edging works best if you are putting it down and by far. only thing better would be stone

This Stihl attachment is the tits for bed edging

Looks like a Japanese maple. There are tulips blooming in the ground so it is likely not a pic taken in the south

That truck with camper looks like something someone from Colorado would drive.
