    You can get those aluminum nails that they use for installing gutters on a house. They work pretty good for what you are doing. That is what I used when doing my edging.

  • @joecosier22
    @joecosier22 5 лет назад +3

    I used a similar product with plastic spikes. The biggest problem was trying to find a hole that wasn't blocked by rocks when installing. Now the problem is they heave out of the ground with the freeze/thaw cycle. I remember watching this old house and they said metal spikes are better since they end up rusting a little and then make a bond with the ground. Awesome looking pool area, Cliff! You guys have really put some work in on it.

  • @richardhaney55
    @richardhaney55 5 лет назад +3

    As mentioned by others I've installed this type of edging several times and had similar problems and also used 10-12" galvanized spikes. These will eventually rust heavily and swell holding them in place for a long time. Also when needed cut 2" pvc to balance height needed and put under tabs before nailing them back fill along one side and then other. Got to say wasn't sure about watching last video, but after viewing it was glad I did. You guys have come to be like friends to me (especially since we're all from Pa.) and it was nice to see how all of you carry out your day.

    Installed new 6” plastic edging this spring. Instead of digging used a pole saw to cut the thin line needed. For the price of two cheap 10” chains it can’t be beat. Thankful our soil isn’t rocky like yours.

  • @jhenry0615
    @jhenry0615 5 лет назад +1

    I just used this pro flex edging for a large backyard landscape project similar to what you are doing here and had no problems using the plastic nails WITHOUT the spiral shank. The solid plastic ones I found at Home Depot were very strong. I still had the problem of hitting rock and having to move the nail. But I didn’t have one break. The non spiral shank seems to be thicker and a lot more resilient and believe me, I pounded the hell out of them!

  • @jasone9
    @jasone9 5 лет назад +11

    Ok, everybody else gave their 2 cents so here's mine what about 1/4" galvanized lag bolts maybe 6" or 8" long. Run them in with your impact driver rather than pounding in.

    • @kiwigirlNZ
      @kiwigirlNZ 3 года назад +1

      I used 12” steel spikes. Galvanised coated spikes contain zinc, which seeps into the soil and will kill any nearby plants.

    The best is a 1 foot or wider strip of 2"- 3” thick concrete under the fence. A little more work but it works/lasts and looks good. Been there done that. Getting some cool weather in Texas....had a fire in my wood stove out in the garage. Didn't really need it but had an itch to smell some oak burning and it really made the coffee taste good! Take care!

    I used edging similar in design.For the most part it held up great,but with our freeze and thaw and frost heave here in Colorado ,I found some did buckle out of line over time.Some of it had been down for 20+ years. I removed 3/4 of what edging that I put down,and went a different route,I did save the cross shaped spikes used to hold it in place,to re purpose for something else.

  • @NHHalKnowsHow
    @NHHalKnowsHow 5 лет назад

    Mike, it's 1 3/4" so it will hold pavers in place and not go above them. I used that edging around my firepit with the pavers but for the stone around my house I used 6" wide 5/4 decking and drove grade stakes in and stood the decking on it's edge and screwed them to the grade stakes. I then put the weed block in and then the crushed stone. it helps keep the house cleaner and the ants don't like to cross the rocks to get to your house.

    Mike's early comment regarding Melissa's appearance and physical fitness:. "she does a really good job with that and I'm very appreciative".
    Sometimes, us guys don't always put into the best words what we are really feeling and thinking. Translation here is:. "My wife is an amazingly beautiful, stunning and strong woman, and I worship the ground she walks on."!!!

He’s a very simple, honest and down to earth guy and I suspect he has always been that way. Assuming I’m correct, I’m guessing his comments are sincere and heartfelt to Melissa because that’s her man and she knows him.

    Hey Mike, you’re right about the height needing to be around 3” - 3 1/2” and definitely needs metal spikes for hard ground. Those plastic nails would work fine where the ground isn’t shale or really rocky material but you need to check your area. You will be able to use the plastic ones around a tree maybe? That trailer is definitely worth the price and will get used a lot ! You all are doing a great job around your house and neighborhood! Keep up the good work and videos, Melissa is doing great videos too. We appreciate all of you folks.

    Installed some of that 1 3/4 inch edging for walkway from porch steps to fence line, think I should pull that up and grab something taller. Centipede grass is as thick if not thicker than edging is. Grows over it and is a bummer trimming it. Used steel staples in soil here over the fabric - worked well but still need taller edging. Looking Good and that will be a great edging round the pool pad.

They are pushing themselves further out of their normal comfort zone I hope they will become more comfortable on camera, in time. Melissa has made great strides in this area. The change has been no hardship for your viewers. t has put more demands on already busy ladies. For a beautiful Landscape,; flowers, trees, and grass are nice. For a better picture, the three Morgan Ladies, in lawn chairs. A snapshot, of course. Morgan Ladies are all very Busy,.

    I have the same edging and never used it with landscape fabric at the same time. I was trying to find an answer on whether to put the fabric on top of the tabs before staking, or keep the tabs exposed on top of the fabric when staking. The instructions for the product said to install the landscape fabric first and stake the edging down on top of it. However, I see you have installed it so the tabs are tucked under the fabric. I'm not sure it will make much difference. But do you have any insight into one way being better than the other?

    steel landscape spikes will work better, and i think i would definitely till up a lot of that yard to level and smooth it some..
