I need some advice...

We recently got a job to install 1/8" steel edging (1500 feet of it)
Then my installer was in a car wreck and won't be back for two months

The job has to be completed in 7 days. C

Can someone PLEASE "pull me out of the fire?"


Thanks in advance,

Angela

rent a bed edger tha twill make a nice clean edge, lay the edging in the trench, stake down and backfill. Most bed edgers will trench atleast 40-50 ft per min, my brown will trench as fast as i can walk

Steel edging will only bend so much...make sure your bedlines are nice and smooth. You'll need a reciprocating saw to cut it- buy plenty of blades.

BTW- I'm sorry to hear about your installer. I hope he makes a full recovery

Hi Angela -

Our soils are murderously hard clay soils, and even in ours (we have the same edger as Matt), 2 guys could knock out that job in a day, maybe two. If you don't own one, rent one for $70 a day.

And I'd opt for a handheld cutoff say like a Stihl or Partner to cut the edging, but I think that's a potayto-potahto kind of issue.

You can do this.
