The real savings were the labor and weight that had to be hauled. I like it.
Excellent video! You covered all the questions I had and have inspired me to use this product in my yard. Thanks so much for sharing this experience with us! 😊
I really liked how easy the installation was and I'm going to be looking into that product. Great job 👏
Two years ago I had cement landscape edging installed around the perimeter of my home for $7 per foot. You can have it mixed in any color or pattern you want. So far other than a few cracks it's holding up well and the weed eater hasn't harmed it. The cracks are hair line and can only see them if standing right in front of them. No grass grows underneath them. They can be made to look like new with a hand sprayer and some water based sealer. Which I haven't done yet but will in the fall.
That's exactly what I was thinking...
what about the base level? do you know what they put under the stone?
@@boopyondasnooty nothing, it goes right on the ground. Still looking good now. Just level the ground and follow the slope. It's cement, not stone.
So great to hear , I just had pricing done on cement edging , several of our neighbors have had it done , it is pretty and lasts
I would definitely go with this product. I is beautiful and certainly a lot lighter so even a young child could do this. They look very much like the cobblestones lining my drive way. Thanks for sharing. Have a Blessed day.
You explained very well. Thank you so much.
Loved seeing this project.
Wow! Thank you for working so hard on this video. I’m too old to be working with heavy stone anymore so these would be great if I wanted to DI myself!
Wow, at $9.38 per foot... no thanks!
But hey, they look great! While I like the look, I just can't see spending that kind of money on something that will actually cause more work in the long run. Since you can't mow right up to them, they will now have to be either weed trimmed and/or sprayed. I usually just taper the mulch down on edges so that I can mow the grass, with no trimming needed. To each his own!
In my younger years I didn't even mulch. Just let the grass or weeds grow under and just knock them down with a weed eater and then mow. Sometimes people just make a lot of work for themselves.
Hi John, great bit of edging tried it my self! Really got my hands working, got everywhere! Love it!
Beautiful, I think you made a great choice. Thank you for sharing this with us. God bless you brother 🙏
This is fabulous! As a DYI homeowner, this very well may be my solution for my small front yard project!💯🤞 Thanks for uploading & Lancaster County is beautiful, especially Amish country!💐
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I certainly appreciate both!
Looks great. Will be interesting to see how it survives winter snows and freeze/thaw cycles. Great job!
You and me both! Thanks for watching and commenting. Both greatly appreciated.
If you want a Permanent Edging, that’s Plastic and will last. Use Composite Decking Boards, without the Groves. I attached home stakes, made with the same composite, to the back side with Stainless Steel Screws and tapped them into the ground with a rubber mallet. Tip wet the ground first, or install after a rain storm. You can make gentle Curves by Heating with a Heat Gun.
Thanks for watching and giving the idea you’ve used.
GREAT JOB !! LOOKS FANTASTIC, AND YOU CAN'T BEAT YOUR DEAL !!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching and commenting. Have a great rest of your day.
Certainly cheaper than the ridiculous price you were quoted. Looks great, and it was very simple to install. Way to go.
Cheers from Australia.
Thanks for this demonstration.
Great video! Your project came out looking very nice.
Excellent video, nice job. Thank you for sharing
Certainly better than most other plastic/composite edging products IMO. A quick follow-up video after they’ve been in the elements for 1-2 years, then maybe after 5 years would be great. Wondering about the effect from frost heave, sunlight/UV, trimming, etc. Someone mentioned chipmunks would enjoy chewing on them-so would squirrels & other rodents, especially the ones in my neighborhood. They have destroyed my decking (wood & composite), vinyl siding & even Christmas lights last year.😡🤬
Time for a Jack Russel.
Thanks for your video. Never heard of the product before. I shared w my relatives.
Old school advice-pound in your spikes just a few inches on a project, eyeball everything, then go ahead and pound them home. Prevents trying to fix a place that is out of whack when it already spiked in.
Thanks for watching and the advice! Both are greatly appreciated.
A strong string round the circumference and tightened will give you a good round then centred. I’d have used a a rubber mallet.
great video, thanks for sharing. I am currently considering these block, so this was extremely informative.
Those are amazing. Nice video.
I love them, and I could do it myself!
Excellent video! You explained briefly
Great Job, looks very nice!!
That was awesome!!!!!!!
I'm astounded at the price of plastic these days!
Biden’s record inflation is destroying everything. He’s caused world wide inflation with his incompetence and failed economic policies.
Excellent video… thanks!
So good, checking this out from my place.
excelent ,& very good job you have done sir,....from cabuyao,laguna,phil.
Eh chuck great video. Always like to see new products being used. It opens the mind to possibilities to use in applications like yours and other types. Just wanted to chime in and say it’s looks great and I’m sure gonna be a great finished product. Just added your self a pile more weed wacking . Good luck😅😅😅 great video though sir.
Outstanding !
Fantastic job looks amazing
Thank you for watching and leaving the kind comment. I really appreciate both.
Looks Good! Great job I was thinking about doing something like this for a flower bed and my tree's with Edge rite steel this could be an option.
Chipmunks love them too.
Love ❤️ your video 👏👏👏🇦🇺🏁
Great video…well produced
Thank you so much for watching and leaving the kind comment.
Looks good
GENERIC looking 😱
I installed landscape blocks around a tree for my step son and they cost us $2.48 each and look great
Great product, but at almost $10/ft, I can’t imagine many homeowners can afford this. Yeah, regular stone blocks are a hassle to install and maintain, but holy cow, these are WAY too expensive!
It depends on how one values their time. Thanks for watching.
over 15,000? 😳😒
Yea, not affordable at all. I was trying to avoid hauling blocks, but want something to last.
This product looks great but I was taken back by the 150.00 price for 4-4ft sections on Amazon. It saves time installing it but at that price, I think I will be looking at real stone edging.
I ordered beautiful cement edging that lasts and lasts for about 2000 for plastic that is insane
Nice and tidy Looking!
Thank you. I was impressed with the product.
Since they are hollow inside I would suggest packing them with Earth dirt you have that you want to get rid of just pack them and then lay them down they would be heavier and more grounded and a way to get rid of some piles you may have!
Great video. Seems expensive tho. I’m curious how they’ll hold up after a couple years of weathering & weedeating. Thank you for all the info.
Wow, thank you
I would be interested in seeing how well it holds up to weedeating over time?
Thanks for watching. I very seldom use a weed eater. I spray a thin band of weed and grass killer along borders. Keeps the grass from between and spreading under the borders. The border is thin enough to be masked by the grass from the lawn also.
Wow! FULL PRICE $$$$$!!!😔
It looks beautiful sir!
I guess you’re progressive Amish or aren’t you? If I am not mistaken you have truck and earth mover to carry your blocks!? 🤩🤩🤩. Just a note for cheer!
Your project looks wonderful sir! A lot of ground to cover so the cost is high even after discount. But it’s worth it I’m sure! 🇺🇸👍
Nice 👍🏽
How does an edge trimmer work to trim the grass that grows up against the wall?
Totally groovey!
Very interesting product. I will be honest I haven't watched the whole video but what happens if you need to shorten a 4 ft section?
$150 for 4 - 48 inch plastic pieces? Their nice, but way to expensive IMO
Thanks for watching. I waited for a 15% off sale on them plus a 10% store discount. I think I was in the neighborhood of $112 for 4 sections. I’m just down the road from where they are manufactured so the Amish stores carry them.
I agree way to expensive for hollow block. I would not be hitting it with a hammer either.
@@TomBTerrific , I hammered away on them to prove a point. They are durable and well worth the money. Research the uses of poly resin. My goodness, snowplows are made out of it. If you haven’t worked with it you can’t really give a factual opinion about it.
Super expensive even i have money im not gonna buy this -
they're vs their
Your wife's Forsytheas are very pretty 😍
Wonder if they fade out or get covered with moss and algae in time ?
These look intriguing. Curious as to how well they hold up to accidental weed eater strikes
This was my thought exactly!
I have bought/ installed 1 boxes so far, weed-eater/edgers etc have zero impact on it.
@@margaretodamo6784ARMAZON,and You get good price? Thanks
@@margaretodamo6784 Thank you!
I wonder what options are available to fill the gaps between the individual blocks? Some types of warm-season grass are quite invasive (ex. bermudagrass) and frequently want to creep into the flowerbeds using the gaps between the blocks.
You would also have to bury them in the ground a few inches deep. I don't see why you couldn't do it with these plastic blocks.
I have some Bermuda creeping in between but I just weed wack it
I spray a 1-2” band of weed and grass killer along borders every 6 weeks or so. Keeps the vegetation at bay. Also, mulch on the inside 4 inches deep works great.
Your comparing a materials cost to a materials and labor cost.
Granted that the plastic blocks are more feasible for a DIY project, but it is not a fair comparison.
The _material_ cost is roughly $9.40 foot. That is NOT cheap for edging.
After time would a weed whacker damage the stones?
145 feet by $11/LF = $1,595. I can't imagine this product would look good in a decade. Just my two cents. I did enjoy the video.
They are beautiful decorative blocks, but I wonder whether they’re effective grass/weed barriers? Seems like grass/weeds will easily creep under them.
Thanks for watching. I believe these would be the same as other ground laid border material. I spray a narrow (about 2 inches) band of grass/weed killer along the outside of the border. Easier to mow and no trimming either even though I have trimmed along some of these blocks with a weed trimmer and there’s no damage to them at all.
On the inside I keep a good heavy layer of mulch.
@@LancoAmish thanks for your prompt reply!
Beautiful. Curious, do you know of a product for a higher edge? Can these stack on eachother?
Check their website. They’ve come out with a taller one this year. Thanks for watching.
I wonder how they will hold up to the sun and weed wacker?
Interesting product. However, the website says nothing about UV resistance, chemical resistance (weed killer), fade resistance, freeze/thaw cycles. It mentions weed trimmer but doesn't back it up with any sort of warranty. In one place is says that the product lasts "up to" 20 years and in another it just says over 15 years... but that doesn't mean anything. "Up to" could mean 6 months and they have no provisions about a 15 year warranty listed. If it really lasted 15 years and met all those conditions above I might be interested.
Very informative video, nice job. About the only question I have is what happens if you have a run that isn't a multiple of 48"? Is there a way to cut a 48" section, say in half, and have a finished end?
They are easily cut. It wouldn’t be too much work to use an end piece and fit it to where you cut it. A jigsaw or oscillating multi tool would make it simple. You’d have to cut a slot in the end to fit the pieces together.
@@LancoAmish I got'cha... rotary tool to carve out an opening then attach a start block to finish the end. Genius!
Can you add more than 2 stakes to each peace if you buy extra? Or does it only comes with 2 holes
You could drill your own holes if desired but after a year mine are still quite solid. I usually run my mower deck right up to them.
Did you come across any where the male connector was cut too large to fit? I ordered 4 boxes and 6 of the 20 pieces were too large and I don’t have the tools to shave them down. The seller is in the process of doing a replacement for me but curious if you came across that seeing how many you ordered.
I had one piece like that. It also didn’t have any stake holes drilled in it. I thought it may have been a reject that got into the pallet by mistake.
like it
Are they available in Australia 🇦🇺.
Steel spikes? How long before they rust away? Plastic looking stone? Trimmer will destroy it quickly. Mulch covering up a tree stump? In the long run the hedge will outgrow the plastic border. You need to use cement blocks that are professionally installed for something that will last.
8 years 2 months, 4 days, and 6 hours. Trimmer hasn’t destroyed it yet. What’s wrong with mulch covering a tree stump? Does that bother you? What exactly makes one a professional hardscaper…a magnet sign on the side of a truck? You seem to be one of those “professionals” that feel the need to run a competitive product down because of deep seated insecurities. If your way is better it will win in the long run if not you will lose. That’s what’s great about a competitive market system. Badmouthing another’s product or work never has been or will be a sustainable business model.
I wonder how it will hold up Through winter and the hot summer sun? Plastic does not hold up well in Florida with the intense sun and salt.
I have installed 10 boxes here in Georgia, it’s been 90-100 degrees, when you touch it it’s not even hot. Holds up great. Have not been through a winter.
I think the hot sun burns the colour a couple year later out believe me !
What about fading from UV?
It looks nice i just wonder how "plasticy" it feels how does it hold up to UV fading etc etc. It is expensive for plastic
It doesn’t feel plasticy at all. Its rather thick but still pliable between pieces. I believe they have samples you can order from their website. Poly resins are used a lot in outdoor applications. Snow plow manufactures are even using it.
Poly lumber furniture has been around for years. I have bird houses made of it and they’ve been in the weather for 5 years now…look like new still. Poly resins have come a long way in the past few decades.
STRING tied to the tree spike tied to it… then secure to ground.
Starting at the back would have solved your issue with “sliding”
Do U put any sand or gravel under them. . ?
Nope. Laid them on solid bare ground mostly. There might have been a little on dead sod but they’ll settle nicely.
Nice looking. Wonder how it would holdup against a string trimmer?
Very expensive!
A potential problem than I can see developing with this product (which has a very aesthetically appealing, authentic-looking surface structure) is grass - esp. species that spread by runners - infiltrating the front gaps between the blocks and becoming a constant headache to remove - and you couldn't very easily do that with a weedeater. Wouldn't be that big a deal if you're dealing with a short section - but hundreds of linear feet of it could possibly result in a major maintenance pain.
The gaps between blocks were of course a necessary result of the manufacturing design, but that design also results in detracting from the otherwise nice look. Outside curves would be especially unattractive with their gaps, but straight runs would also suffer from that unavoidable appearance (and possibly maintenance) problem. Also, it's been mentioned that the shiny stake heads are visible, and that would further detract from the look.
Compare this setup with a professional (or good DIY) real masonry job where the gaps don't exist or are minimized or where they are mortared up, and which provides a more finished-off, neat, and permanent appearance. Remember, you often do get what you pay for.
I would suggest that if you can live with this design, and where your budget/time prevents anything more expensive, that you order a minimum of one section to see if you really will be satisfied with it in the long run. Will that plastic suffer from mold/mildew/UV problems over time, and need to be pressure-washed, resulting in potential dislodgement problems? (Think about those poly downspout trays that become icky with mildew and UV-damaged over time.)
And keep in mind that you will not be able to just throw these sections down on unprepared ground and have anything that approximates a neat, finished-off appearance. You will have to level the surface of the ground, and that takes a considerable amount of work. And if things are even slightly out of kilter, those gaps are going to be even more pronounced and unattractive, not to mention the non-level of the top surface of the run of blocks.
Let the photos/videos of real-world installations of this product be your partial guide. I did, and I wasn't impressed at all.
For some people this might be a perfect solution, but for me, I think I'm going to have to pass.
Are they weed whacker proof?
I have a Bermuda lawn and this would be worthless as the Bermuda would run right under this stuff and invade my landscaping area. It might look good, and be cheaper than concrete edging, but would not solve my biggest problem of having to dig the Bermuda out of my landscaping. That stuff grows everywhere that you do not want it to. Maybe if one would dig a 3-4" trench before installing it, but not sure if that would help. Anyone else see how to make this work for Bermuda? I have concrete edging right now and it works because it is really deep below the surface, and Bermuda still tries to find ways into the landscaping. Interesting stuff here though and it might work for Fescue lawns I guess. The concrete edging can be shaped to look really nice.
sounds like the 'duke' aka John Wayne!
Nothing like using a soft faced mallet to do the job well when using plastic mountings.
Plastic mountings?
Do a review after the first winter with Pennsylvania frost/freeze cycles
Great idea. I don’t thing there’s going to be a problem though as I talked to a few that have had them over winter already.
Where old were do you get that material???I had never seen it anywhere!! George California
"Where old were do you..." WHAT?
Hows it hold up to the elements. Not a big fan of manufactured hardscaping materials.
Thanks for watching and asking. Doing great so far. They’ve been around here for a number of years. I checked out a few places with them installed for a couple years before I committed. They still looked good.
Can they be separated to have individual piece?
They do not separate but could be cut apart if you had to.
How easy do they shatter when a weed eater string hits them?
They don’t shatter. They are made out of poly resin. Very durable. I’ve hit them numerous times with a lawn tractor deck. In the video I was striking them with a hammer. No problem. Snow plows are being manufactured now out of poly resin.
Nice! But I will save my money for more plants..
I guess I cannot complain about the price of this product, I only have about 40 linear feet to do.
👍🏽
That is going to take a LOT of mulch!
Thanks for watching! It wasn’t bad. I do my entire property garden areas every couple of years and it takes about 25 cubic yards.
@@LancoAmish lol. 25 cubic yards is a LOT of mulch.
so this is plastic? or if not what is it made of?
Yes plastic of sorts…a poly resin material.
Does it hold up to a weed wacker?
No problem. I even run my mower deck against it.
A question where I order you, thank you 🙏
Beuta sells through Amazon and their own site. There’s also local retailers in Lancaster County selling them. Here’s their link.
beuta.com/
What is the price per foot?
Labor cost comparison?
Nice but super expensive!! 9 dollars a block vs 2.50-3.50 stone block at box store. Do rich for my blood!
Consider what base (gravel) you need to buy to create a level base for the "stone block" you choose to buy and cement adhesive to keep them together. There is more to laying "stone block" than just setting them on the ground!
