The benefits of steel edging: Spotlight on Kinley’s Bison Kerb

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.

Introducing Kinley’s Bison Kerb: A superior steel edging solution
Kinley’s Bison Kerb is a robust steel edging designed specifically for hard landscaping applications where durability, precision and ease of installation are essential. Engineered as a lighter, more practical alternative to concrete, Bison steel edging offers all the strength without the bulk. This makes it easier to handle, transport and install on site.
Thanks to its clean lines and minimal profile, Bison helps create a professional, high-spec finish while offering the structural integrity needed to retain paving, asphalt or gravel. Available in a range of sizes and finishes, it is a versatile solution that fits seamlessly into both contemporary and traditional designs.
Safer by design: How Bison Kerb reduces risks
Safety is a key consideration in any landscaping project, particularly in high-traffic public areas. Bison Kerb is specifically designed with user safety in mind, offering practical advantages that reduce risks during and after installation.
- Crafted from mild steel and hot-dip galvanised for corrosion resistance, Bison Kerb delivers long-term performance in even the most demanding environments.
- It features a smooth, rounded top edge to reduce risk of injury, making it particularly well-suited for public spaces, parks and pedestrian areas.
- The lighter weight of Bison Kerb compared to concrete alternatives means it is easier and safer to handle on site. This lowers the risk of manual handling injuries during installation.
In environments where public safety, long-term durability and visual appeal must go hand-in-hand, Bison Kerb offers a forward-thinking solution that meets landscaping standards without compromise.

Built to last: Strength and durability that outperform traditional edging
Bison Kerb is built for performance. This steel edging is manufactured from high-quality mild steel and protected with a hot-dip galvanised finish. It offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, impact and wear, even in the most demanding outdoor environments.
Unlike concrete edging, which is prone to cracking or deterioration over time, steel edging retains its structural integrity under pressure. This makes it a more reliable and longer-lasting solution.
Bison is capable of withstanding heavy loads and repeated use, making it ideal for retaining paving, gravel and tarmac in commercial settings. Its durability means fewer repairs, reduced maintenance and a more cost-effective choice over the lifespan of a project.
