Benefits of Steel Edging: Bison Kerb for Hard Landscaping

When it comes to creating clean, durable and long-lasting landscape designs, the right edging can make all the difference. Steel edging is gaining popularity among landscape professionals for its sleek appearance, ease of installation and impressive strength.

In this blog, we put the spotlight on Kinley’s Bison Kerb, a premium steel edging solution designed to outperform traditional materials like concrete for hard landscaping. From enhanced safety features to unmatched durability, Bison Kerb is built to meet the demands of modern landscaping projects with confidence and style.

What is steel edging and why does it matter in landscaping

Steel edging is a landscape design element used to define and separate different areas, such as:

Driveways
Pathways
Paved surfaces
Lawns
Flowerbeds

It provides clean, crisp lines that help maintain the structure and appearance of outdoor spaces over time.

Unlike timber or plastic alternatives, steel edging offers superior strength, longevity and a more refined finish. It is particularly valued for its resistance to weathering, warping and shifting, which are key concerns in outdoor environments.

In both residential and commercial projects, steel edging plays a crucial role in ensuring that landscapes not only look professional but also stand the test of time.

By maintaining clear boundaries and preventing material migration, steel edging contributes to a tidy, low-maintenance and visually cohesive landscape.
