Does anyone have experience with Endless Borders or similar

Postby JC Paint Workz » August 17th, 2011, 4:22 pm

I have been seeing these guys at our local Home Show that past few years. I have been thinking about (when the money's right and I'm ready) Getting something of this nature installed. It seems pretty neat and it looks really good. I'm just wondering how it would hold up to the elements against cracking etc. It would be a nice way to keep the Rock Beds/Mulch beds in order and give something fixed to trim/mow agaisnt and not have to worry about it moving etc.

I hate to speak for him, but forum member Mightquinn has a very nice looking bordering in his lawn. Not sure if it is the same thing, though. Might hit him up in a PM if you don't get any response here.

Most of it looks too "fake" for my likes. The only pattern I like is the one that looks like brick. I could live with that one.

I kinda dig it (hah!), although tend to go natural on my beds and simply stop the edge wherever the mulch stops. No edging required, although garden edges do tend to slowly walk over time, on average becoming slightly larger year by year. This does not bother me in the slightest. :-)

Just checked out the website for endless boarders and it is very similar to the company I went with. They have a lot of choices!!!! I didn't see the stamps for your house address though, I think that is a nice touch.

Just read your PM. Thanks for the info. I've been searching for concrete edging in my area and this one company is the only one I seem to find. Ill continue my search. Thanks for the info it looks really neat. Maybe I can get the money soon to do that and possibly a irrigation system and my mini barn I want. If my wife keeps putting stuff in the garage, that want for a barn is going to turn into a need though haha

As for the address they do offer it. There is a picutre in there gallery that shows it around a mailbox post with the address stamped in it. Pretty neat addon
Thanks in Advance,

James

I agree. I like spade cut edges, but my garden preferences tend towards cottage and English gardens so I like a bit of chaos. Of the stone/concrete/plastic, etc. edges the Endless Borders look like one of the nicest, though. I would opt for the river rock.

FWIW, I called and had 4 companies come out and give quotes (Why not there free right LOL). Needless to say its pricy but it looks good, and I'm thinking if I have the money its going to be irrigation system first then border. I have apprx 240' of border needed and another 36' if I want a border around my Thuja's. quotes have been from $1800-$2900. Its not that bad if you look at what it would cost you to buy blocks to go 2 high and around the whole edge and if you look at the labor prespective. It looks nice but if you have a lot of footage like me its up there.
Thanks in Advance,

James

Even if you over pay for Leland cypress trees it should only cost you $700 for that may trees. Then you can have the fun of planting them all :)
