Replacing Wooden Edges (infosec.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.

I don't see why you'd have to pull up the turf unless you want to dig underneath it. Assuming the boards come up easily, the concrete edgers you linked look to be about the same thickness, so you could probably just pick up the board and put in the edger.

Thanks, that what I thought as well. Would you add an extra layer of gravel or sand between soil and the edger?

Not necessary in this situation
