Quality poly board needs very little care after installation. Check it once a year, each spring, for any sections that shifted during winter. If you see any movement, tap the board back into place with a mallet and add more packed soil behind it.
Keep the edging clear of leaves and overgrown plants. When using string trimmers nearby, watch out so you don’t damage the surface. With simple care, your edging should last 10 to 20 years, depending on the material quality and your local weather.
Creating a Lawn That Lasts
The small details make the biggest difference between a lawn that looks great and one that falls apart. Poly board edging doesn’t sound like much, but it’s what keeps everything in place. Get the installation right and check on it once a year. That’s really all it takes. Spending extra time up front means no expensive fixes down the road, and the turf stays level and nice-looking for twenty years or more.
