Drive stakes into the ground on the outside of the board. Space them every 3 to 4 feet on straight sections and closer on curves. Stakes should sit slightly below the top of the edging. Use two galvanized screws to attach each stake to the board.
Backfill and Secure the Installation
Now comes the most important part: backfilling. Use the dirt you removed to fill in behind the edging. Pack it down firmly as you go. That packed dirt acts like a buttress – it keeps the board from moving around. Take your time with this part – good packing keeps your edging stable for years.
Lay Your Base and Install the Artificial Turf
Add your base material inside the bordered area and install your artificial grass. Crushed gravel provides drainage for landscape projects. Trim the turf edges so they sit flush against the poly board. Secure them with nails about an inch from the edge.
