Garden edging VidaXL 100 x 0.5 x 15 cm olive plastic rectangular

VidaXL garden edging in olive-colored plastic features a rectangular profile with dimensions 100 x 0.5 x 15 cm. It is designed to create a low-profile border between lawns, flower beds and paths, helping to define planting areas and limit the spread of soil, mulch and grass. The lightweight, weather-resistant construction enables straightforward placement along garden beds and walkways and is suitable for both temporary and more permanent installations where a subtle visual barrier is required.

Advantages

This garden edging combines a slim rectangular profile with durable plastic material that resists moisture and most outdoor weather conditions. Its olive color integrates discreetly into planting schemes while the 15 cm height provides sufficient containment for soil and mulch without creating an intrusive barrier. The edging is lightweight for easy handling and cutting, and its straight profile facilitates continuous runs for clean, uniform borders.

Suitable for

• Creating clear borders between lawn and flower beds
• Separating paths and driveways from planted areas
• Containing mulch, gravel or topsoil within planting beds
• Temporary garden layouts and seasonal displays

When it may not be suitable

This plastic edging is not intended to bear heavy loads or act as a structural retaining wall; it is designed for light containment and visual separation. It may not be the best choice where deep-rooted tree roots need to be fully restrained or where heavy vehicular traffic places pressure on the edge.

Key specifications

• Material: weather-resistant plastic
• Color: olive
• Profile shape: rectangular
• Dimensions: 100 cm (length) x 0.5 cm (thickness) x 15 cm (height)
• Weight: lightweight for manual handling

How to use

Mark the desired line for the border, clear the surface of stones and debris, and press the edging into the soil to the required depth so the top edge sits at the intended height. For a firmer installation, create a shallow trench and bed the bottom of the edging on compacted soil or a narrow layer of sand. Connect multiple pieces in a continuous run, trimming sections as needed with a suitable cutting tool. Backfill against the edging with soil or mulch to stabilize the border.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure the total run length needed and consider how many pieces are required
• Confirm the 15 cm height is sufficient for containment of your mulch or soil
• Check that plastic edging suits the local climate and expected exposure
• Plan for joining and cutting tools if creating longer continuous borders

Usage recommendations

For best results place the edging on a level line and secure it by backfilling; for high-traffic edges consider additional ground fixing or a more robust edging material. Regularly inspect connections and re-seat any sections that have shifted after frost or heavy rain.
