After using several of these ideas over the years, I found that option #3 (good old shovel edging) is the best for me long term due to I add a layer of 3 inches of mulch every year to our borders and as it decomposses it turns into soil then I find myself using a shovel to dig some out anyway so that it stays lower than the plastic or concrete edging. Not only that but it works better for heavy rains IMO. One draw back is you'll possibly need to do it yearly as grass tends to try to grow in the mulch but you can keep it under control by using the weed wacker angled vertically around the edges so it cuts the roots off.

I decided to use the hard plastic edging material. It was easy and only $20 for 20 feet at Home Depot. And it only took 15 minutes. Thank you for the tip!!  
My wife was very happy to see the finished project. Happy wife creates a happier life.

Bless everyone that takes their time and shows us great ideas. I personally like the plastic roll. Awesome video

#3 For me. It requires some yearly maintenance, but you can't beat the look. And it's free. I might like pavers, too. But I'll probably always turn to my trusty shovel.

Thank you. You gave me an idea, two White Birch Tree's fell down last year. I think I'll put them beside my mulch to hold it in place in my flower garden. Nice video, & helpful. This is my first viewing of you.

Great insights! Loved the video and the comments below. Wishing I had watched some videos first, but just did some erosion prevention edging where my lawn meets the driveway and had been having a lot of soil runoff. Luckily it seems to have gone well, but am about to install edging on a friend's yard that these tips will help with. Thanks, SpokenGarden!

I removed edge pavers (?) from the landscape in my front yard. Didn't care for it when I bought the home. I had been looking for ideas and #3 will work for me. Since the trench is already "dug", I just need to slope the edge. thank you!
