Here is a project that can help create the landscaping you&#8217;ve always wanted:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Install a Rigid Flower Bed Edging<\/strong>: Having a clean edge where the lawn meets the flower bed looks fantastic and makes mowing easy too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Tips:<\/strong> Use a charged garden hose to lay out a smooth curve. (A \u201ccharged\u201d garden hose full of water makes a kink-free curve) charge it up by turning on the spigot but leaving the sprayer off.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">With this as your guide, use a lawn edger to cut away extra sod to make room for the edging. Hit in the edging with a rubber mallet and add the stakes. Finish by trimming the edging with a hacksaw.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Expenses<\/strong>: Steel- $1.25 per lineal foot; aluminum- $2.25 plf; rigid plastic or fiberglass- $1.65 plf.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Tools:<\/strong> Garden hose, flour or powdered chalk, lawn edger or spade, shovel, speed square, hacksaw, rubber mallet, hammer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those who weren&#8217;t born with a green thumb, there are easy ways to make your yard pop!
