"We loved Teco-Edg's superior design. The edging is exceptionally durable, with just the right amount of flexibility and stand-up strength for this project. Our design plan was tricky because we needed to retain slightly raised beds and form crisp lines to separate our glass colors. We highly recommend it! My cement crew is also eyeing Teco-Edg for other cement work and gardening applications"

Kelly Mayo The Enchanted Gardener
