Installation Instructions
Things you will need:
Grass Barrier (10″ depth)
Comes coiled—unroll and leave in the sun to loosen memory.
Trenching shovel
Any shovel works—trenching types require less effort.
Optional: Wheelbarrow, Knee Pads
Helpful for cleanup and comfort during install.
Step 1: Choose Your Installation Depth
Select the best installation method for your project goals:
Standard Install – 6″ In-Ground / 4″ Above-Ground
- Ideal for mulch retention and clear visual separation
- Taller barrier helps define edging lines
- May show waviness above ground on uneven terrain
Low-Profile Install – 8″ In-Ground / 2″ Above-Ground
- Sleek appearance with minimal visibility
- Anchors more material below surface
- Good for aggressive root control
Flush Install – Fully In-Ground
- Seamless lawn transitions—no visible edging
- Easy to mow over, withstands foot traffic
- Not for mulch or raised material retention
Step 2: Prep the Barrier
Lay Barrier in the sun for a few minutes, coiled side down. Use heavy objects like bricks to flatten the ends.
Step 3: Dig the Trench
Dig a 6″–10″ trench along the grass edge. Make sure the trench depth is consistent for smooth installation.
Step 4: Insert the Barrier
Place the Grass Barrier vertically in the trench. Cut with a sharp utility knife if needed.
Step 5: Backfill & Pack the Soil
Backfill and pack soil tightly, alternating sides to ensure a straight, secure finish.
