Linear Feet = Total Perimeter (ft) × 1.10 Waste Factor
Calculates total linear feet of barrier edging or individual paver stones required to enclose landscape beds.
Metal vs Plastic Landscape Edging
Professional landscape contractors exclusively use powder-coated steel or aluminum edging because plastic warps and buckles under intense US summer sun.
Frequently Asked Questions
How deep should landscape edging be installed?
