For Your Backyard Or Garden, Bender Boards

By Stephanie Cox


When it comes to our lawns and gardens, a little landscaping should never come amiss. Borders should be properly set out. If that is not the case, then the place can wind up looking really chaotic. That is why effort should be expended in making everything divided and delineated. You can achieve that with these Bender Boards.

Even though, it might not be a well known term by itself, everyone has probably come across it some time or other. Its essentially a landscaping material that serves as an edging to flowerbeds, lawns, gardens, and the like. Typically, they usually resemble wood, although theyre usually made in polymers. Therefore, while it has the aesthetics of organics, its something that doesnt easily rot, splinter, or generally bow down to the elements.

The point is, a good balance between hardscape and softscape should be ensured. The first has to do with structures like fountains, pavements, rock decorations, and the like. The latter is more on vegetation and greenery. Both should be present in an acceptable balance. Too much of hard landscaping will give off sleek commercial vibes. However, too much of the Soft will turn everything to a messy and overgrown jungle.

Get all the materials on hand before you get down to work. Aside from the BBs, youll need some measuring implements, wood stakes, and of course, the digging tools, nails, hammer, hacksaws, and the whole shebang. All in all, pretty intuitive. For sustain ability's sake, youll want to make sure that all that go in the board and the board itself, are resistant to the elements, especially corrosion.

There are many kinds of edging materials, borne from human invention and versatility. They all differ depending on the climate, soil type, individual tastes and preferences, and so on and so forth. Its a given that gardens, turfs, flowerbeds, and other sections, will need to be bordered so as to make distinct sections. Because of the many options out on the market, it can be strange which one to choose.

After everythings set and done, level them out. Fill in all the displaced soil. After that, you can plant or install your flower, shrubs, and whatnot. Of course, youll have to make sure the principles of landscaping are properly integrated. You wouldnt want to go overboard with one element and abandon another. As it is, thats the point of this whole shebang, and you might wind up defeating your own purpose when the BB becomes covered, or whatnot.

Youll have to do a lot of preparatory tasks before you can start going on the deep end. This will have to be done properly because its functional. When the support is not right, then it will not be sustainable. Therefore, measure properly and put in some markings or stakes when you have to. See to the needed length of the board, so that you can source everything beforehand.

This board is great in more ways than one. Some manufacturers have made for it to be made from recycled materials, which is great in reducing carbon footprints. Unlike other materials, it does not rot nor decompose. Its resistant, strong, and does not break down or splinter. Whats more, and as is important when were talking about the backyard, its insect proof as well, which is a great thing.

As you pound in the stakes, make sure that theyre driven deep enough so as not to move or be flimsy. Ensure the proper placement of the board to the stake, and some such. For a great outcome, then you might like to check on tricky areas, like bends and corners, since the boards can potentially overlap here. Carefully trim, reattach, adjust, or pound down when needed. And finally, make good sure that the soil that was misplaced earlier is properly and firmly repacked.
