Replacing Wooden Edges (europe.pub)

Hi all,

We bought a house last year and the backyard has artificial turf. We don’t like the wooden edging the previous owners built in so we were thinking of using concrete edgers instead.

Does anyone have experience with that? Anything we need to be cautious of? I hope I don’t need to remove the turf to do this, so curious about your experience.

Thanks, appreciate that. I would generally agree with you. The experience I’ve had so far with the wood is that it started to rot below the surface. That’s why I’m pivoting away from using it again.

To be fair, it doesn’t look like as if they’ve cared much for the wooden edgers. Do you have a suggestion as to how to take care of it in this particular use case?
