Nice border along a row of blueberry bushes. Less weeding to do now:)

Served well in the area I placed it in.

I have used this border in numerous places for several years. It looks nice, keeps things cleaner, and lasts. But it is very, very hard to cut to shape.

Any product is only as good as it's weakest part. The weakest part of this product is the backing. It is tissue-paper thin and tears easily. It has no more strength than the covering on the peat disks I use to start seeds. To be effective at preventing weed growth and adding to the strength of the shredded-rubber matting, it most definitely needs to be a much more robust material. This is not an inexpensive product. As such, I expected higher quality.

I have used the 5" version of this material for years. It is fairly easy to put down, and makes a nice border-for a while. However, it can sink into wet areas, and will conform to uneven surfaces. It will then pick up mud. It does not like weed/edge trimmers much, and over the years, weeds WILL move into the edging material itself. Fortunately it is fairly easy to kill it with round-up as necessary. So, I like this, but with reservations.

It was great to find the rubber mulch in the 12" width. I put down weed barrier fabric and then the rubber mulch which I hold in place with long garden staples. It looks great and is so much easier than mulch that you have to keep adding every year. Never messy. Wind does not blow around. It is great. Easy to walk on.

I like this except when you need to cut it, it is not that easy. I think this product is best served keeping it in one piece as an edge to a garden. I would recommend with reservations.

I was so disappointed in this product. I was hoping to use as a weed block at the top of the lower level of my rock wall, but after seeing the product, my weeds look better than this. In the catalog it looked somewhat natural. But in person, it's shiny and very fakey looking and doesn't belong in my beautiful garden. I'm returning this today.

Used to edge out around a gazebo so cutting the lawn was not so challenging. Works great for that purpose. The backing could be thicker to prevent grass growth underneath and to weigh the edge down with less stakes.

THis product quickly and easily installs to define a garden bed for ease in mowing and weed control. Grass and weeds are prevented from encroaching into the bed. Weeds do not penetrate this edging. It is unobtrusive alone and even more so if covered with mulch. Long lasting.
