For me it is . I built this on the lowest possible budget I could ?

Agreed pricey, but should last almost forever and it turns that nice silvery gray.

Finally decided to move the trailers and jet ski and bring the load to its destination. I didn’t want to chance cracking my slate walkway or wreck the lawn, but for my back’s sake I had too.

So i went to Lowe's to pick up some stuff for the front lawn project. I end up seeing this rubber lawn edging, and I start thinking.... This would probably look better then the metal I just installed last week. So I picked one up to get an idea. The rubber one will be that height, as you use supplied spikes to keep it in the ground. I also picked up one bag of black river stone and one bag of white stone to lay in between. Have to decide on that also. I think the rubber plays off the back drop stone very well.

It’s your yard and your taste to what you use. But me personally, the metal lasts forever, isn’t as noticeable. Edging is not what you want to stand out in the landscape. Rubber looks cheap ?
Just my opinion but thought you would like it.
