What gives us the edge?
CORE EDGE is produced directly by the team at CORE and is designed with more than 40 years of industry experience in mind. We know how important it is for landscaping products to work effectively and stand the test of time.
See CORE EDGE forming sweeping planting beds and a gravel path in Northwood Landscape’s Leominster garden. At Hadnall’s historic grounds, 100mm steel edging defines a public pathway built with CORE TRP and CORE COMMERCIAL.
AkzoNobel Powder Coating.
Layered protection, designed for the UK’s harsh climate.
- Galvanised base. A 20-micron zinc coating is applied to the raw steel to protect against rust.
- UV-stable finish. A 110-micron polyester powder coating provides a hard-wearing, scratch-resistant and flexible finish.
The coating is applied electrostatically, then cured under heat to form a protective ‘skin’ that is tougher than conventional paint.
Backed by our 10 year guarantee.
Unique Dual Locking Tabs.
Connect multiple lengths. Install as one.
The dual locking tabs on CORE EDGE provide a rigid connection between adjoining sections.
- Connect the lengths using the dual locking tabs.
- Install the joined run as one connected length.
A Full 5 Linear Metres.
Five strips. Five metres once connected.
Each pack of CORE EDGE contains five 1075mm strips of edging, providing a full five metres of coverage after the sections are joined.
That is 6% more than our closest competitor.
‘Diamond Design’ Ground Spikes.
A folded structure that resists curling under pressure.
CORE EDGE features a fold along the centre of each ground spike, forming a ‘diamond’ structure.
This shape provides strength and durability, even in tough terrain, helping prevent the spikes from curling during installation.
Need Support? Try Our Extension Pins.
Reinforce the ground spike by an additional 300mm.
Our easy-to-install extension pins can be added after the edging is in place.
No need to lift the installed edging to add extra support.
Rounded Corners.

Easily create a rounded corner without any specialist tools.
Tight Corners.
Create a precise 90° right angle.
Slightly score the edging to form a tight corner.

Frequently Asked Questions.
What's the best way to form a curve with CORE EDGE?
To create a tight radius its best to form the curve by bending each individual edge around a suitable cylindrical object such as a bucket full of soil or a rounded post. For a gentler curve you can either bend each edging slightly by hand and connect together as you go, or if you have more hands on site connect the required amount of edgings, making sure you securely fasten the dual locking tabs, then starting from one end form the curve by tapping the edgings into the ground as you go whilst the desired curve is formed and held in place by your workmates.
What’s the best way to measure a curved or complex shape?
Simply lay out a string line or rope to the desired shape, then lift it and measure its length. It’s always easier to mark the ground with a spray can or wooden stakes before lifting the rope to make sure your edging goes exactly as you first intended.
What’s the best way to install CORE EDGE in particularly soft ground?
The pre-formed spikes will tap easily into soft ground. Its best to place a piece of brick or a flat stone under the edging at intervals to avoid the edge cutting down into the ground if there is a possibility of weight being applied directly onto the edging. Alternatively back the edge up with a concrete haunching that sits slightly below the edging. If the edge is going to sit above ground for a raised border, it’s often useful to use our galvanised stabilising pins.
What’s the best way to install CORE EDGE in hard ground?
The spikes on CORE EDGE are quite tough and will tap into most firm ground with the aid of a wooden mallet or block of wood, but if the ground is really hard its best to loosen it first with a fork or pick axe. Firm the ground by treading the soil back against the edging on completion. If the edge is going to sit above ground for a raised border, it may be necessary to use our galvanised stabilising pins.
What’s the best way to cut CORE EDGE?
CORE EDGE can be easily cut using a hacksaw or grinder, please take care with sharp edges and use metal primer on exposed steel.
How long will CORE EDGE last?
CORE EDGE is made from 1.6mm mild steel with a 20 micron galvanised coating and a 90-110micron thick polyester powder coat. Under normal conditions it has a life expectancy of over 15 years.
Can I use heavy compaction machinery close to CORE EDGE?
Yes. But as with all edge restraints be sure to support the exposed edgings with temporary pegs or galvanised stabilising pins to avoid “bowing” caused by over compaction.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes – CORE EDGE comes with a 10 year guarantee.
On site with CORE EDGE.
Leominster, Herefordshire.
Northwood Landscape used CORE EDGE to form sweeping curves between planting beds and a self-binding gravel pathway. With access restricted by a staircase, all materials were carried in and installed by hand.
