Without edging, synthetic turf installation may have issues, including:
- Weeds – One of the key benefits of artificial turf is that, unlike natural grass, it doesn’t require weeding and other maintenance. However, if the artificial grass isn’t properly edged, weeds may pop out of the outer edges of the surface.
- Uneven Surface – Because artificial turf applications often involve heavy foot traffic, the turf needs to stay sturdy under the pressure. Without edging, the elements under the turf may spill out of the sides, creating an uneven surface above.
- Erosion – Soil erosion is common in natural grass and environments. If an artificial grass lawn isn’t properly edged, the soil beneath may erode over time. A fitted edge that secures the turf parameters helps prevent this problem.
Thankfully, quality synthetic turf edging helps eliminate these problems so turf can be enjoyed as a comfortable and long-lasting surface.
