Local Landscaper Warns Against Plastic Edging: A Costly Long-Term Mistake
Richmond, VA – A local landscaper, known as 'NoSchoolJustTools,' recently shared insights into the challenges of garden maintenance, specifically highlighting the pitfalls of using plastic edging. In a recent online video, the landscaper demonstrated the arduous process of removing old, deteriorated plastic edging from a client's yard. The material, often chosen for its initial low cost and ease of installation, proved to be a significant challenge to extract, frequently breaking and becoming embedded in the soil. “I never recommend installing this stuff,” the landscaper stated in the video, emphasizing that plastic edging often becomes “complete junk” over time and invariably needs to be pulled up. The video, which includes sped-up segments to illustrate the labor-intensive removal, serves as a cautionary tale for homeowners considering landscaping options. The landscaper's experience suggests that while initially convenient, plastic edging can lead to greater difficulties and costs in the long run.
