Making The Best Out Of Bender Boards

By Stephanie Cox


If you want your lawns and gardens to look really well kept and manicured, you know the drill. Youll have to set everything in its place, and just generally keep them in check. After all, we are dealing with flora, vegetation, and general greenery here. Theyre constantly growing and evolving, and anytime, they can potentially spill over. Keep them behaved with Bender Boards.

Theres a reason why landscaping is a college program. After all, all of it cant be pinned down to mere artistry and technicality. Rather, one will have to toggle them in a proper balance. That is, one will have to consider aesthetics, if everything looks fine and dandy. However, there should be technical considerations, as well, as with ergonomics and environmental sciences.

No wonder, then, how its such a popular landscaping material. Aside from the unfailing aesthetics and the undeniable functionality, its also user friendly. Skilled worker or not, theyre easy peasy to handle and install. When you get a good quality board, then youll not have to worry about maintenance. That is, it wouldnt need to be enforced, repainted, repaired, et cetera.

These BBs often come in rolls or coils. Get yourself some wooden stakes, measuring tapes, digging tools, hand saws, hammer, nails, the usual. Since the BB is used to being rolled, it will constantly spring up to that position. So mind that youll have to roll it, lay it out, and just secure it in place to ready it for installation. Proper measuring is also key.

There are many kinds of edging materials, borne from human invention and versatility. They all differ depending on the climate, soil type, individual tastes and preferences, and so on and so forth. Its a given that gardens, turfs, flowerbeds, and other sections, will need to be bordered so as to make distinct sections. Because of the many options out on the market, it can be strange which one to choose.

The thing is, sustainability is a real game changer. But, of course, aesthetics must not be left out to be desired. That is why most are still designed and made to resemble wood, even when theyre not of the said material. What with all the upped qualities and characteristics, its no wonder how it has come to be more and more appealing to gardeners, contractors, homeowners, you name it.

The great deal with BBs is that theyre comparatively inexpensive. Youll surely get the best value when you get something thats high in quality. However, the comparative inexpensiveness of the enterprise will still be down on factors such as how good the installation is. After all, everything can potentially go back to square one. Also see to it that all the details are answered for, from the size, thicknesses, colors, and some such.

Never approximate and estimate. Always get the measurements down pat, and when it comes to the path, dont adjudge and guesstimate. Rather, mark it in a corporeal way, such as by trailing strings, spraying paint and other physical pathfinders. Among the most important measuring youll do is the boards height because its not just what you see at the outset, but also the part thats buried underneath, which serves as the foundation and therefore determines durability.

As you pound in the stakes, make sure that theyre driven deep enough so as not to move or be flimsy. Ensure the proper placement of the board to the stake, and some such. For a great outcome, then you might like to check on tricky areas, like bends and corners, since the boards can potentially overlap here. Carefully trim, reattach, adjust, or pound down when needed. And finally, make good sure that the soil that was misplaced earlier is properly and firmly repacked.
