Install Garden Edging | |
A landscape contractor will charge $400 to dig and lay 75 linear feet of mortar edging material. You can buy the material and sand for $130, so there's a substantial savings by doing it yourself. The grunt work involves digging and turning the soil, laying a base of sand and then placing the edging components. You'll need basic garden equipment like a shovel, spade or edging tool and a wheelbarrow for moving the material. Tip: Set the edging material at the same height or just above the level of the plant bed. If the ground is uneven, you'll have to make adjustments. |
