Choosing the Right Landscape Edging Materials: A Guide for Landscapers

In professional landscaping, edging does more than define boundaries - it adds polish, improves maintenance outcomes, and elevates overall design. Whether you're working on a local council park, residential front garden, or commercial landscaping project, choosing the right material ensures the edging will hold its form and function over time.

At StrataGreen, we offer a curated range of professional-grade edging materials to meet the demands of landscapers Australia-wide. Formline is one of StrataGreen’s core edging products, designed for long-lasting performance in both flexible and rigid profiles. In this guide, we break down the key materials we offer and how they best fit into specific landscaping scenarios.

1. Formline Edging - The Professional’s Choice
