  Great advice, will follow that, thanks a lot!

  The edgers start to rot, so that’s why I’m thinking of replacing them.

  I need to replace roughly 83 feet of wooden edgers which will cost around $200 for the concrete edgers.

  Quarry spalls are stones in the shape of a brick? This would definitely be a good option but that’s not as aesthetically appealing to us as these red concrete ones.

  Thanks, appreciate that. I would generally agree with you. The experience I’ve had so far with the wood is that it started to rot below the surface. That’s why I’m pivoting away from using it again.

  To be fair, it doesn’t look like as if they’ve cared much for the wooden edgers. Do you have a suggestion as to how to take care of it in this particular use case?

  Thanks for the advice, I live on the California coast, so weather is never below 45 degrees. What would you suggest in this scenario, assuming tamper sand is a good option for colder climates?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Replacing Wooden Edges⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, that what I thought as well. Would you add an extra layer of gravel or sand between soil and the edger?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Replacing Wooden Edges⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks! That’s correct, it’s not connected at all to the turf, only nailed to the next plank.

  Should I put anything underneath the concrete edgers apart from soil? Gravel maybe?

  I live on the California coast, so I won’t be experiencing cold winters, or snow for that matter.
