The Use And Applications Of Bender Boards

By Stephanie Cox


If you want your lawns and gardens to look really well kept and manicured, you know the drill. Youll have to set everything in its place, and just generally keep them in check. After all, we are dealing with flora, vegetation, and general greenery here. Theyre constantly growing and evolving, and anytime, they can potentially spill over. Keep them behaved with 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.

The great deal with BBs is that theyre comparatively inexpensive. Youll surely get the best value when you get something thats high in quality. However, the comparative inexpensiveness of the enterprise will still be down on factors such as how good the installation is. After all, everything can potentially go back to square one. Also see to it that all the details are answered for, from the size, thicknesses, colors, and some such.

Also, you will need the board to be as flexible, malleable, or just generally as workable as possible. If its not naturally so, then you can pitch in some help. For example, soak it in water, or some such. Given its composition, it will soften but not turn into a mush. When you dig the trench, make way for some allowances so that the elbow grease is made easier.

Generally, boards are too short to the point of being negligible. Howsoever the upper stakes may be variable in height, the foundation should never be compromised. The dug trench should always be more than five inches, and preferably more, and it also has to be wide at the top, more than the bottom. Youll need to know when to curve, when to adjust, level, and some such. All these are noteworthy if youre up for a great output.
