For something that’ll keep grass roots from creeping into beds, this extra-deep edging from Grass Barrier is your best bet. It’s 10 inches high—designed so 6 inches can be buried below ground—and made of 100 percent recycled HDPE plastic. The 12-gauge edging is strong enough to hold up to bumps from lawn equipment and comes in lengths ranging from 20 to 300 feet long.

Pro tip: Set the edging out in the sun for better flexibility prior to installation.
