    Wood garden edging is a beautiful and easy way to define borders, walkways and garden beds. Perfect for homeowners who want natural and sustainable materials in their gardens. Warm, natural materials are becoming more popular as people move away from plastic, synthetic materials that end up in land fills. Best part? You can easily do it yourself. Here’s another way to install wood edging: https://youtu.be/z6dYQKIV2FA?si=3LpdnTGIOXXaMY6f

    Daru is the best. Great videos and presented by a true pro. Plus I won’t lie, she is drop dead gorgeous too.

  8. @jefff6167

    How you don’t have a million or more subscribers is a mystery to me.
    Your content is very professional, highly educational/informative and you’re a top tier presenter.
    Keep up the GREAT work👍🇺🇸

  17. @puneetlondon

    Thanks daru really great video. I want to install patio at my first house. Tusi kuch usss ta videos banayo pls .

  19. @slip0n0fall

    I originally thought the top 4×4 was cedar, due to the color and rounded corners, but you mentioned pressure treated? Did you stain them?

  23. @dennisgundlach87

    Daru Dhillon has got it going on!!!! I am for sure certain you provide the warmth in landscaping, are you thinking what kind of comments are these, the kind that I hope will make you smile maybe even laugh

  24. @satinsheree

    I like your video. I did get confused about the 2nd layer of wood. I realized you explained that we don't want soil touching the home surface. To add, it looked like a trip hazard. I would love to do something like this, but I'm afraid missing some understanding here… . But then, I saw the caption that this is for a slope problem 🤦🏽‍♀️ thank you!

  30. @barneysievers2888

    Definitely appreciate the detailed explanations, crucial for us beginners. I really enjoy seeing you do all the hard, physical work. I can't even get my wife to grab a hammer, not that she would know which end to hold.

  38. @CampMelp

    I love the look and wish wood edging were a practical option in Florida… those would last for a year or two here before they’d start breaking down 🙁

  39. @janking2762

    Ground contact pressure treated wood lasts a long time. Use only 4×4’s as landscape timbers usually aren’t rated for ground contact and will start to rot in a few years.

  40. @traveller7879

    While it may be cheaper to build retaining walls with wood, from my experience they will rot out. Even pressure treated timbers will eventually turn to mush. I only use masonry products for retaining walls and edging. The cost is a bit more but I know that it will last a lot longer and I won't be replacing rotted timbers in the future.

  41. @JamesLandolt-m1e

    Great video – The wood edging landscape timbers are very do it yourself friendly, look even better/more natural as they age and are one of the lower cost options. They are relatively light compared to the cement based pavers and much easier to install than other options. Also, they come in 8 foot long sections instead of 4 feet with plastic and 16 inches with the cement based pavers so installation goes faster. When you need a shorter custom length like you may need on the end of a row, they are much easier to cut to any size you need. To drill the hole for the rebar you need to buy the drill bit that's made for this and pay attention to whether you are going to use 1/2 or 3/4 inch rebar (both for the rebar and the size of the drill bit). Drilling the hole for the rebar is very easy. I would skip the step on adding anything like cement or stone to the bottom of the trench as in most cases it would not be needed.
