ELEMENT DETAILS
- Design dynamics: edges can create either curvilinear + straight, geometric lines of expression to reinforce the design intent.
- Edge: 3-6″ vertical height @ 1/8 – 3/16″ mild steel typical thickness
- Blunting: the top edge + corners can be rounded off by welding 3/8″ or 1/2″ round rod to the upper line.
- Anchoring: steel edges are usually spiked into the ground with 1/2″ square rod that’s welded below grade to the fill-side.
DESIGN SUPPORT
The primary function of a steel edge is to separate one material condition from another as the landscape design may require. These elements are custom-cut on site, anchored + welded in place. Edges can be used to define boundaries, transitions, passages + spaces.
