How to install landscape timbers for garden edging?
weeping mulberry



It depends on what you are using 3X4 pressure treat or 8X8 railroad ties. It also depends on if you are stacking them.

there are a couple of ways.
you can use 12" spikes form your local home improvement store for a single layer of 3X4 pressure treated. first drill a hole in the timber then hammer the spikes into the ground. If the ground is not solid or gets real muddy you may want to put about 3 " of lime stone under them.

for larger timber in stead of spikes use Re Bar that's the steel bar used to re-enforce concrete. again you local home improvement store should carry it. Cut them so that they are about 12" longer then the thickness of your timber. Drill holes in the timber about the same thickness as the re bar. Hammer the re bar though the hole into the ground.

Any tips/tricks on how to keep dogs out of my garden/landscape bedding?
Landscape edging by A Better Edge

I've been told that sprinkling a little cayenne pepper around the edges of landscaping helps keep cats out of it. However, my problem is the neighbor's dogs whom continue to urinate on my garden fencing and decorative landscaping. We live in duplex style housing, and have a common patio area. I like my neighbors and don't wish harm upon their dogs, but don't like my child playing on the things their dogs have "marked".


Here's what you need. You should be able to get it at Petsmart or any good pet supply, if you don't want to order online.

Garden Edging ...How do you get that defined line around the garden edges???
Grass Border

My neighbor just had some landscaping done and it looks great. My question is how do the professional landscapers get that very defined line around the edge of the garden?


Hi, if your neighbors beds are new- they may have been cut from his lawn with a machine (which you can rent) that is made just for this purpose. It leaves pretty "clean lines".

Mainly, for existing beds- there are a few things that can be done. Firstly, give the planting space from the edge of the grass to where they begin. This allows for a buffer zone that looks nice and can be used as a "gutter" that subtley builds away into the beds. This area can be maintained when the grass is cut to keep grass runners in check. (Use a weed whacker turned to the side or a simple pair of had trimmers to keep it neat and trimmed...
Fresh mulch, regularly fluffed and turned will enhance the shap edges.
Good luck

So far I really like Landscape 4 You!
Great thinking Squid.... Still looking for additional ideas


Since any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party, I wanted to go a different route...

I suggest either hiring a name creation firm or get together with your friends and/or family and throw a "name party" & have everyone bounce some ideas around. Compile a listing of names that you like the best. Once you have that list, do as much free research as you can before you delve into comprehensive research.

I listed some links where you can do some preliminary name checking. However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what's out there.

Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free & a great place to start, so I'd try them out first.

Comprehensive research consists of looking at marks that are similar in Sound, Appearance or Meaning in the pending & registered Federal AND State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files.

There are other sites that offer free searching capabilities in conjunction with their commercial services, so I'm not able to post those links due to the Yahoo! TOS. You'll also want to check domain names & yellow pages, so simply do a search for "free domain name search" and "national yellowpages" and the appropriate links will pop up.

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

  • Landscaping Faux Pas #3: The Plastic Edge - The Home Outside ...

    An all-too-familiar sight in home landscapes: plastic edging.

    I’m not a big fan of plastic garden edging.  For one thing, I find it hard to feel good about using anything plastic in a landscape filled with materials that come from nature.  Here are some more reasons:  1)  off-gassing isn’t good for you, the people who make the material, or the environment; 2) the shiny texture looks strange in the midst of natural materials; 3) it’s easy to dent, break, or destroy plastic edging with a mower or weed whacker; 4) since it’s so light, the material pulls out of the ground easily; 5) it’s not great for holding soil in or keeping grass roots from getting underneath it.  You can feel a little better about edging made from recycled plastic, but if the purpose is to separate flowerbeds from lawn, then plastic edging may not be your best choice of material.

    Creating the Beautiful Line When you keep the edges of your planting beds sharp and neat, it gives your whole landscape a lift by clearly separating the garden area from the lawn.  You can use steel edging, bricks on edge, or cobblestones, but the least expensive solution is to cut a simple spaded edge.  First, define the bed line using a flat-edged shovel or a spade, making a 3 in. vertical cut. Then make another cut at a 45-degree angle toward the planting bed, removing all extra soil.  It’s an easy way to keep your borders looking trim—and much more natural than using plastic edging.
