Benda Board® is recycled-plastic landscape edging that bends for smooth curves and holds crisp straight lines without the rot and splinters of wood. A slip-joint connection with hairpins keeps lines tidy and allows thermal movement, and it comes in Black, Teak, Redwood, and Sand.
Below you'll find specs, planning tips, a field-simple install workflow, and a short case study — ideal for beds, paths, mow strips, and artificial-turf edges.
Why Choose Benda Board® Plastic Edging?
Durable & low-maintenance
Recycled plastic won't rot or splinter, and it resists moisture and soil contact.
Flexible but stable
Forms organic curves yet holds straight runs when staked correctly.
Cleaner installs
Slip-joint with hairpins keeps lines tidy; compatible stakes keep everything in plane.
Color options
Black, Teak, Redwood, and Sand for natural-looking borders.
If you want a tidy edge that bends where you need it — and still looks great in a few seasons — Benda Board is a pro-grade, low-maintenance choice.
Planning, Coverage & Materials
| Consideration | What to know |
|---|---|
| Board sizes | Typical heights 3.3–6 in; lengths 12–20 ft. Match height to mulch/rock depth and desired reveal. |
| Stakes & hairpins | Use Epic Plastics' stakes; hairpins form the slip-joint and allow thermal movement. |
| Color selection | Choose to complement hardscape or turf; darker colors hide soil stains better. |
Quick takeoff tip: linear feet of edging ≈ total run length. Add 5–10% for overlaps, joints, and tight-radius work.
Field-Simple Installation
1
Layout
Mark curves with a hose or rope, then dig a trench about 3 in deep along the line.
2
Stake spacing
Drive stakes every 4–5 ft; tighten the spacing for tight curves or soft soil.
3
Set the board
Press Benda Board into the stake clips; keep exposure at 3/4 in or less to control expansion.
4
Slip-joint
Join boards with hairpins (leave a small gap for movement), then backfill and compact both sides.
Pro tip: for tight radii, pre-bend the board on site and add an extra stake between the standard spacing.
Case Study: Water-Wise Front Yard
Project: A homeowner wanted smooth curves around drought-tolerant plantings and a decomposed-granite path — without the maintenance of wood edging.
Approach: The crew used Benda Board in Black to define the beds and the DG walkway. Stakes were placed every ~4 ft with hairpins at the joints, and exposure stayed under 3/4 in to control thermal movement.
- Install time: one day with a two-person crew; minimal cutting even on tight curves.
- Finish quality: straight lines along the driveway; consistent curves around boulders and shrubs.
- Maintenance: after a season, edges stayed true — no rot or splintering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Benda Board hold a straight line?
