I used this exact method 6 yeaars ago. Update today on how they have held up. Not one stone has come loose and I have hit (brushed) several with the riding lawn mower. The plastic edging and never cracked either. I am so glad to have found this video 6 years ago. Thanks for taking the time to show us a easy way to landscape

Maxpatch, you posted this video over 3 years ago but you are still responding to recent comments/questions by viewers. Thanks for doing that! Also, I don't understand the haters and nitpickers. If you don't like his idea, keep your vitriol to yourself and move along to another video. Thanks for posting your video - can't wait to try it!

Finally, a video that shows you step by step instruction without all the yapping that seems so distracting. Thank you!

I went ahead and did it! Wow was it fast to do. I picked up the vigoro scalloped edging from Amazon as they had the best price and I went to Lowes for the extra spikes and the fast setting Sakrete which also happened to be on sale, end of summer thing going on and I also picked up block that Walmart had, it was another end of summer thing I paid $1 a block and got about 100 blocks. I created a kind of kidney shape around my trees with about 50 blocks and then I edged the area 4 feet out from my house and a short walkway with the rest, all I can say is that I never thought to use the fast setting Sakrete for anything other than posts. I have received nothing but compliments from my neighbors and friends that have stopped by. Thank you for the inspiration and the simplicity of the video as they say a picture is worth a thousand words. God bless

Thank you for the quick no nonsense, no unnecessary blathering about every minutiae detail! Straight to the point with just music! Love this!

Thanks for this video. I did these borders this year around my entire house. About 410 similar paver stones, concrete and converted my beds to mulch from pine straw. Cost was just under $1, 200 including 2 delivery charges for all the materials. Did the work by myself. While a little back breaking to do the entire house it was an easy project to do and it all worked perfectly. It looks amazing and I've gotten a lot of complements from my neighbors.

Tried this technique last spring, I live in the northeast with cold and wet winters and my edging is still attractive and holding strong.!

I know this video is almost 2 years old but I am so glad I found it!!! This was so easy to do, so much cheaper than a retaining wall, and still looks so awesome and classy!!! Thank u so much for posting!!!!

I completed this project in my front yard this past Saturday and based on the outcome I will be continuing the blocks into my side yard. So happy with the way these turned out. I actually had 2 neighbors walk over and asked me questions about this project and how I did it, so kuddos for this video, says a girl in her 50s doing this on her own.

Hands down, this is the best video I've seen on creating a border! Looks so easy! Love it

[hamzamh]

Honestly, that's what they call quick and easy, short video with fulfilling information. Thank you ill be doing this on my front yard these coming weeks.

My husband and I finished this project today and it looks awesome! We did about 65 linear feet. Thanks so much for this fantastic alternative to trenching and leveling. We pretty much did it in one day. Tomorrow we’ll do the mulch. I’m taking some Aleve and going to bed! 😁

[blessedbygod]

My friend you have saved me a WAD OF DOUGH!!! Thank-you EVER much!!!

[theabstractview]

I don’t usually comment on videos, but my wife and I did this to our front landscape and WOW!! It looks absolutely amazing! The hardest thing was planting the flowers other than that it was a piece of cake!! We added lights as well! LOVE the outcome! I’m showing EVERYBODY!! Thanks again!

[brendahoss]

I just did this same project on one of my flower beds, thanks to your instructions. I am so pleased with it and plan to move on to another bed in a day or two. I'm a 72 YO gal who loves to work outdoors. Thank you again!

[billiejohn]

Great job ! ... and I agree that wetting the concrete a little before setting the block is a good idea along with soaking the blocks in a couple of inches of water to have them bond with the concrete bed. I also strongly recommend using gloves when working with concrete ( quick lime) and the blocks. I didn’t want to use gloves and paid for it with dry cracked skin that was painful and took several days to heal. I now use good gloves.

Did this to my yard after watching this video and now my yard looks like a million bucks.

[Jan-gvdb]

Well I am a woman and doing my yard on my own and this seems like a great idea to me! Lazy or not y'all call it and it just is more simple and would work really well! Thanks for your video great idea

[wendyvandiver]

Oh my goodness thank you so much that is one of the best ideas I've seen and as a 60+ year old woman that is something I can do making my yard look so much more put together and beautiful ❤️

[spiritoftruth]

Great Job! Just thought I'd mention that by thoroughly wetting the grass/ground before pouring the concrete from the bag would aid in the curing process. Take care!
