I have about 130’ of border on 676 sq ft worth of beds I’m writing up a this morning. I’m kinda over selling beds with trenches dug that require running a trimmer and or edger around. I want to start pushing hard borders that just need a normal trimmer pass and retain the bed material. I can sell as retaining the material fairly easily I think, especially if I mention that a trench might add to the mowing price if it’s to be kept perfect.
The cost of metal is substantially higher than the plastic counterparts. Then there’s the composite L shaped ones that look like a possible choice. If plastic degrades in a few years it could potentially be more cost effective to just replace with a routine mulch refresh every couple years. My clients tend to keep me around for years so I don’t want to sell something that’s junk, and really I don’t want to install junk at all.
