We used GST’s Galvanized Spikes to secure our artificial turf, and they have been fantastic. The spikes are strong, rust-resistant, and keep the turf in place even in high-traffic areas. They were easy to install and have held up through various weather conditions. These spikes are a must for any turf installation project.
When using pressure-treated 2x4 lumber for edging, I usually prefer the stakes sold at the big box store alongside the 1x4 recycled plastic bender board. However, they were almost cheap each, so I decided to give these a try. My only complaint is that there is a little "give" along the 12-inch length; they are not as stiff as a wooden stake or the bender board stakes. Despite that, they are very strong. I hit them into pretty hard ground with a 4-pound hammer, and they did not break or even "mushroom" from the pounding. The pre-drilled holes are a bonus and a time saver (I always pre-drill most everything). Placing them about 4 feet apart on centers, they do a great job holding the lumber securely. I'm pleased and saved several dollars.
I just finished a landscaping project using GST's Bender Board, and I have to say, it's a game-changer. It's super flexible, making it easy to create smooth, curved borders and edges. The installation was straightforward, and the finished look is clean and professional. It's perfect for keeping my turf and garden beds neatly separated. Definitely a smart buy for anyone looking to enhance their yard with crisp, defined landscaping lines!
