Border tape for beds: types and its use photo

A well-groomed garden is impossible without proper planting arrangements. Border tape for beds will help to organize each element of the garden plot.

It will bring neatness and individuality to the landscape of the site and will itself become a decorative element, enriching the overall space with new colors and shapes. This is a “lifesaver” for any gardener and gardener, which greatly facilitates the work of landscaping.

Curb tape is a plastic tape usually green or black, but can also be found in brown, white, grey, blue, yellow, red.

Advantages of border tape

The name “curb tape” speaks for itself – border, fence, barrier. And this is the main purpose of plastic tape material.

The main functions that the curb tape performs on the site:

design of beds, tree trunks, lawns, flower beds, alpine slides, ponds and garden paths;
preventing the mixing of plants and their chaotic growth;
saving water when watering due to the fact that it does not spread throughout the garden;
providing plants with the necessary fertilizers in full.

Using border tape you can decorate a garden bed and seal the greenhouse.

The tape is widely used in construction: it serves to protect the foundations of buildings from soil and water or is used to seal the perimeter of the greenhouse. It can also be installed along the bottom of the fence to prevent small domestic and wild animals from entering the area.

On sale you can find garden border tape of different heights - from 10 to 50 cm. The thickness of the plastic is from 0.5 to 2 mm. A roll usually contains from 10 to 50 m. The texture is also different: straight, wavy, figured and corrugated. It is produced in Russia, Germany, China and Poland.

Plastic border tape for garden beds has a lot of advantages. Let's name just a few:

a wide choice of ribbon colors - for every taste: white, gray, yellow, green, khaki, black, etc. 15 colors in total;
its extreme flexibility, allowing you to create any shapes, incl. smooth contour;
it holds its shape perfectly;
does not rot or fade in the sun;
easy installation and dismantling with your own hands, which does not take much time;
has a very affordable price and, compared to fences made of brick, wood or decorative stone, is much more economical;
long period of use;
multiple use.

If the purpose of the border tape is limited to fencing beds and flower beds, then it is better to choose a brown color that will not stand out against the background of the ground. For a more impressive design of multi-tiered flower beds, the option of bright ribbons is preferable.

What is border tape for beds

Border tape is a plastic flexible tape that helps to fence beds, flower beds, and flower beds. This type of fencing for garden beds is strong and durable: it does not rot, it will not develop corrosion or rust due to harsh natural conditions or soil. A frequent choice of summer residents are brown and green shades that do not stand out against the background of the earth or plants.

Tape fencing is used in a number of cases:

decorative element;
a fence for the beds will make the area smooth and well-groomed;
Raised beds: With their help, you water the entire plot of land evenly.
giving shape: a flexible border will make a bed of any shape, dividing the area into several zones;
water saving: will retain moisture within a given zone;
fencing for greenhouses;
garden paths;
weed control: tape fencing will prevent weeds from spreading;
formation of multi-tiered structures.

Use for decorating beds and flower beds

Tools for work: shovel, stapler, scissors, tape measure, pegs.

Using border tape you can create flower beds of any shape and height. For these works, tape material more than 20 cm wide is used. For work we will need:

small shovel;
furniture stapler;
scissors or garden pruners;
roulette;
pegs.

The tape is dug in half the width around the perimeter of the flower bed. It is better to carry out installation by two people to ensure uniform tension of the structure. The ends are fastened with a stapler. Then pour in the soil mixture and lightly press it down. If you plan to create another tier, install the plastic fence again around the perimeter of the new tier, add soil again and press down. Other tiers are also formed. At the final stage, ornamental plants and flowers are planted. Multi-tiered flower beds are a source of special pride for flower growers, and garden border tape will help create them.

When creating raised beds, border tape is also an indispensable assistant. It will prevent them from falling off and will keep their shape. And raised beds are known to warm up faster in the spring, and you can grow herbs and vegetables on them earlier.

The beds are decorated with a tape 20-30 cm wide. It is dug into the ground, leaving the required height on top. You can strengthen it with wooden pegs or other available means: wire, pipe parts, plastic rods. After installing the fence, the bed is sprinkled with compost or humus.

You can not raise the beds, but simply draw a clear border for a neater and more stylish look.

Other designs using ribbon

You can use border tape to create an edging for your lawn.

You can also give the lawn clearly defined edges or separate it from the embankment path using plastic tape material. For these works you will need a narrower tape - 7.5-10 cm wide. It is also dug into the ground, the height of the elevation above the ground should be 1-3 cm. Between the lawn and the fence you need to leave a small groove where nothing will grow. This is necessary to make it easier to cut the lawn with a trimmer or lawn mower. So that the equipment does not touch the fence and break.

To give the planted trees a more aesthetic appearance and to protect them from weeds, a ribbon fence is dug around them. The tape is raised above the level of the site according to your own taste. Not only trees, but also shrubs and individual plants can be distinguished using garden tape.

You can also use curb tape to fence embankment paths. To do this, take a narrow piece of plastic and dig it in along the border of the path (the height of the raised edge is 2-3 cm). After installing the fence, the path is covered with gravel or crushed stone. Border tape will help create paths of the most original shapes, holding decorative mulch, pebbles and sand in the allotted space.

Fences can be made with your own hands and from other materials, for example, from slate, plastic bottles, wooden products, metal, brick or stone. But much more effort will be expended than when installing a ribbon fence. And wood is subject to rot, metal is subject to rust, and stone is covered with moss from moisture. Plastic also does not last forever (the standard service life is 5 years), but throughout its service it retains its shape and color. It is non-toxic, does not make noise in the rain, does not heat up and is resistant to temperature changes.

And you can use border tape in absolutely different ways, adding style, sophistication and beauty to the area.

Caring for the strip structure involves periodically washing it with water, and for the winter it is advisable to cover it along with the area of soil that it frames. In addition, the tape should not be stepped on.

Neatly trimmed lawn edge

will not allow plants to grow, will give the flowerbed a beautiful and complete look, and visually
separate the lawn from the flowerbed
.

The neighborhood and adjacent beds can turn into a real problem if they are not separated from each other. A clear border not only looks aesthetically pleasing, but also saves energy. Otherwise, the lawn grass will quickly spread throughout the garden and you will have to systematically spend time weeding it.

The simplest and most economical way to create a border between a lawn and a flower garden is to dig a groove between them with a depth of 5 to 10 cm, depending on the density of the root system and the type of soil. The wall adjacent to the lawn is made vertical, and the edge bordering the flower bed is sloping. You can dig a ditch with a regular garden shovel, but it will be difficult to achieve a smooth edge, so it is better to use a special crescent-shaped shovel or hoe to trim the edges of the lawn.

The main disadvantage of this design of the edge of the lawn is that the groove walls will have to be updated manually once a month. Therefore, for large areas of the lawn, it would be wise to purchase a disc attachment for the trimmer.

Lawn care is simplified by a permanent barrier - a garden border or border tape.

. It is made from a wide variety of materials - concrete, stone, brick, plastic, wood. The height of the curb plays an important role. With a border height of 15-20 cm, the lawn mower will not be able to process the edge of the lawn, and trimming along the edge of the lawn will have to be done manually. It is better if the top of the border is level or slightly below the soil level, or, in extreme cases, slightly raised above the surface of the lawn.

The simplest and most convenient to use is a wide flat border made of paving slabs laid along the border of the lawn, along which a lawn mower wheel can easily pass. Even ground cover plants will not penetrate such a border.

A border in the form of a metal strip will create a reliable border between the lawn and the flower garden.

widths from 10 to 30 cm. Thin flexible borders made of galvanized steel or aluminum are barely noticeable and are excellent for designing curved lines. Installing a metal border is easy. In most cases, excavation work is not required - the curb is simply driven into soft soil with a plastic hammer.

It is better not to use a metal hammer; you can damage the galvanized coating and the curb will quickly rust. If the soil is hard, dig a narrow ditch, place a curb in it and secure it with special pegs.

A clear line of the lawn edge can be achieved using a plastic or rubber border tape. Such borders are cheaper than metal ones, but they do their job just as well. In addition, they are durable, do not rot, do not rust.

Plastic barriers are produced in the form of perforated tapes 13-20 cm wide in rolls of 5-10 m. Installing a plastic border is a little more difficult than a metal one. Regardless of the quality of the soil, you will have to dig a ditch. The border is installed close to the vertical edge of the recess and secured with special pegs. To avoid gaps, the tapes are overlapped. The most difficult thing is to recess the curb to such a depth that it does not interfere with the operation of the lawn mower.

To fix the damaged edge of the lawn, you will need a patch. Using a sharp shovel, cut a rectangular piece of turf from the lawn, not far from the edge. Having carefully trimmed it from below, it is separated from the soil and moved forward to the edge of the lawn. Having laid the “patch” flush with the edge, cut off the unnecessary so as to obtain an even cut. The hole in the lawn from which the “patch” was removed is filled to the top with soil and seeded with lawn grass. With regular watering, the grass will fill the empty space, and within two to three weeks it will be even with the rest of the lawn.

Nowadays, it is rare that any dacha or private farm does not use garden tape for beds and flower beds. How beautiful and stylish the corrugated curly border strip for garden paths looks, bordering the pedestrian parts of the site. And how convenient is border tape for beds... Flower beds made from border tape look beautiful. It becomes immediately clear that these products can be different and can be used in quite a few cases.

Types of border tapes

In order to have a general and visual idea of this type of product, let’s consider its characteristics.

1. Dimensions and weight. The main dimensions of flexible border strips are length and width (height). Let's look at this:

standard length sizes can vary from 10 to 50 linear meters;
the height of the products also varies;
sold in rolls. Consist of a single piece;
Light weight, depends on the material of manufacture. For example, a package of 20cm x 15cm (polyethylene material) weighs 1 kilogram.

Therefore, in order for the border tape to be long enough, you can order several packages.

2. Places of application. Where is border tape used? Regarding the places of application of these products, it should be noted that this type of fencing can be used in almost every corner of the dacha. Where the need arises:

fence off or allocate some area;
very often they are bought for the garden. For fencing paths or areas with berry bushes;
border strips made of rattan and bamboo will look good in a garden or broken decorative landscape;
If at your dacha the fence enclosing its territory is raised above the ground, an invention in the form of a flexible border tape will be useful for closing this space. And guests such as neighbor’s dogs, chickens and other living creatures will no longer be able to trample down the beds or flower beds;
simply improve the place of any destination;

wide and deep paths between the beds in the garden will remain so for a long time if the beds themselves are raised and secured with border tape;
They are good for controlling the growth of lawn grass. If a rubber lawn border tape is installed along the edge of the lawn, then whatever you want will grow behind the tape, but not lawn grass;
in order to organize a colorful flowerbed, of course, you first need to fix its dimensions with the recommended product;
Rarely do any summer residents today get by with an ordinary flower bed or flower garden. After all, on the neighboring site there is already a multi-tiered structure for flowering ornamental plants;
they can be used to form alpine slides;
if there are options for organizing decorative mulching, then use border tape;

green lawn grass will look even more beautiful if a border strip is installed on its edges;
The place where the vegetable garden is located can also be marked with a flexible border. And in the middle of it, create small areas for beds;
tape for beds is useful in a greenhouse or greenhouse. Here, too, I didn’t want the soil in which the fertilizers were added to crumble onto the path along which every day I had to walk several times and clean the path from the sunken soil.

2. The shape of flexible border strips comes in 2 types:

flat (smooth). Suitable for all types of fencing. But it is preferably used for the garden. That is, fixing the beds. After all, the main task of these products is not beauty, but strength and reliability;

corrugated (curly). Suitable for all types of fencing. But of course, every summer resident wants his flowerbed or flower garden to be not only securely fixed, but also to look more elegant. Therefore, most often it is the curly border tape that can most often be seen at the edge of the lawn, along the edge of the paving stones. And of course, to places where ornamental and flowering plants grow.

There may be a thickening along one of the edges of the product, thus giving the composition a more complete look. And in some products, most often in colorful colors, there is an embossed through openwork pattern.

Border tape for paths of both types, installed in a country house or on the territory of a country house, will never spoil the landscape design. And on the contrary, it will give its overall appearance complete beauty.

4. Material of manufacture.

Basically, the products are made from synthetic material. Which differs from natural ones in that it is more:

strong,
durable.

And also stable:

to the temperature difference,
wet weather,
soil moisture,
solar ultraviolet rays,
chemical influences.

The Green Belt company, for example, offers us decorative border strips made of rattan and bamboo. As you know, these materials are also characterized by their strength and stability.

shape almost any shape;
garden border tape for a flower bed is very convenient in this regard; it can be used to break up a flower bed of any shape;
It is especially often used for designs with oval and round shapes.

5. Color. In order to satisfy requests regarding colors, manufacturers produce products in different shades of colors. After all, there is a home landscape designer in almost every family. And when forming a site, it may require not only dark-colored material, but also colorful and bright one. Therefore, a flexible shaped border for the edge of a lawn or for paving stones can be:

black,
burgundy,
dark gray
light gray
light green,
khaki,
brown,
yellow,
blue,
red,
white.

Of course, the border tape for the beds will be black. And the reason for the choice is clear. But anyone who argues with this conclusion will also be right.

Green will suit any design, it all depends on the taste of the designer and the purpose of the design. Brown, yellow and red will not look bad in the composition. However, each person has their own tastes, so choose the recommended products yourself..

6. The country of origin of the product is not unimportant for some of our customers. Therefore, let’s dwell on this issue. Mostly products from domestic manufacturers are presented on today's Russian market. But there are other representatives, such as:

Germany
China,
Poland,
other.

Reviews of border tape for beds

Irina Selezova, 43 years old, Stavropol I recently made a bed for strawberries from a ribbon border. I took a ribbon 15 cm high. My husband connected it with wire, drilling holes with a drill. Then I laid out a rectangle measuring 1 m by 4 m and stretched it well. I placed metal pins in the corners and secured the tape, pulling it tight so that it would not ripple. Then I placed several more metal pins on each side and only after that sprinkled it with soil. I didn’t even expect that it would turn out so beautiful and comfortable. Natalya Basova, 36 years old, Bryansk The border tape itself is quite soft. In order for it to hold securely, you need to pull it very tightly or attach it to something. I tried to decorate a flower garden with it. I liked the green tint. I used border tape for beds 30 cm wide. I think that it is an excellent option as a restriction against weeds, especially along the fence.

Why do you need border tape for garden beds?

There should be order in the dacha area, but this order cannot but be rational. Agree, it is incredibly difficult to restore beds and flower beds after every heavy rain, and to avoid this, you need to use special borders for flower beds. A novelty of the new time is curb tape at an affordable price. It differs from outdated designs made from other materials. Border tape is used for paths, fencing beds and flower beds, and lawns. Universal garden border tape allows you to replace various devices that are currently perceived as archaic.

Borders have been used for dachas for a long time. The following were and continue to be used as popular ones:

Wooden boards and branches - they look attractive only in the first months of service, after which they darken, become covered with fungus, and rot.
Brick - Old bricks are not attractive, so using them will only spoil the overall appearance of the site. The new ones look stylish and impressive, but their cost is significantly higher than the price of border tape for garden beds. Therefore, they cannot be called a budget and correct solution in this case, and it is always more convenient to buy a ready-made border for garden beds.
Stone has the same advantages and disadvantages as brick, so it is used as a border for a lawn only if strength and resources allow.
Slate - allows you to install interesting borders for flower beds, especially if you paint it in bright colors. But it is brittle, and after rain it will need to be restored, since the slate sinks into the ground under its weight.

Compared to these devices, the decorative plastic border for a flower bed looks perfect. The disadvantages characteristic of them are completely absent from garden border tape. It efficiently performs the task of fencing places where flowers and fruit crops are planted. And at the same time, the decorative plastic border provides:

Aesthetic perception of the site - the plastic border for the flower bed looks very neat. Manufacturers often use technologies that allow plastic to imitate various materials, such as wood or stone. In the case of border tape for beds, imitations are not needed. A plastic garden border is a polymer strip of normalized height in natural colors. The stylish perception of the site is formed by a thin brown garden border, which is almost invisible. At the same time, the garden brown border clearly zones the space, maintaining a neutral appearance. Black border tape for dachas is popular as a universal tape that can be used to separate flower beds, lawns, and beds. The border tape is black, strict, and visually noticeable. The most popular are green borders for flower beds, which you can buy from our company in different shades.
Economical watering - the border tape for beds does not allow water to pass through, so it remains in the soil where the crops grow. A border for beds made of plastic prevents water from spreading onto paths and the ground around, which reduces water consumption.
Protection from weeds - a decorative plastic garden border for beds prevents the arbitrary growth of weeds and its penetration into areas where garden crops are grown. Garden border tape allows you to limit the growing areas of lawn grass and garden crops.
Protection from arbitrary growth of crops - the use of a flexible border for a garden will reduce the intensity of growth of raspberries and blackberries, and their absorption of unintended areas. A 30 cm border strip with any surface texture is suitable for this purpose.
Protection from insect pests - garden border tape becomes a mechanical barrier in the path of insects moving in the upper layers of the soil and eating roots and plant stems.

We have plastic pegs especially for curb tape.

Lightweight - the flexible border is easy to use, convenient to buy and transport. Thanks to its minimal weight and compactness, buying garden border tape is much more convenient than bulky boards or slate.

Types of border strips for beds and flower beds

Before buying tape for beds, you should study all the options for such devices. They are different in size, color and material. As borders for personal plots, tapes from:

plastic;
metal;
stone;
bricks;
wood;
concrete.

The main criteria on which the choice of a particular type of fencing is based: strength, durability of structures, cost and ease of installation.

Plastic tape

Plastic border strips for garden beds are the most affordable and versatile option. They are manufactured in the form of border strips, sections and finished borders.

Most of the tape is placed in the ground, giving flower beds and beds a neat appearance and remaining almost invisible. With its help it is convenient to form straight and curved paths.
Border sections are devices that have special grooves that greatly facilitate the installation of border strips for beds.
Ready-made borders for garden beds are one-piece structures that can be immediately installed on your garden plot. They imitate the texture of wood, tiles and other materials.

Concrete curb

A popular solution for private households due to the strength of the material and relatively low price. Concrete fences are installed in gardens, orchards, along paths if they are lined with stone, tile or asphalt.

Metal fence

Metal borders are leaders among other options in terms of durability and strength. They are made of steel, aluminum, copper. The beds are decorated with strips of border metal tape. They are inconspicuous in garden plots, their height above the ground is 3-4 cm.

Wood border

Wood is a material that allows you to achieve a variety of appearance of fences. Not only boards are used as borders, but also tree cuts, bars and pegs. Fences woven from wicker look very elegant. Such designs are purchased in specialized stores or made on their own.

Brick fence

Brick is a worthy alternative to concrete fences. It looks good along paths lined with stone or tiles. A very popular option for designing flower beds is when the bricks are installed on an edge or at an angle.

Stone border

For lovers of natural beauty, natural stone is a good replacement for brick. This is a durable decorative material. Thanks to the wide variety of types of natural stone, it is easy to choose the most suitable structure and shade. Shell rock, limestone and sandstone are budget proposals for garden design, more expensive options are granite and marble.

Purpose of border tape

A universal device allows you to solve many issues:

arrange a lawn fencing;
form a flowerbed of a bizarre shape;
make raised beds,
create “sides” for the bulk path.

The strip easily takes any shape, so it will allow you to experiment with the type of compositions you create. At the same time, it is not decorative itself, it cannot be attributed to the “country” or classic style; on the contrary, it is minimalist and modern. And, as a rule, it generally goes unnoticed, since its installation is often carried out by digging into the ground, with only a low edge remaining on the surface.

Thus, it is recommended to use the material for zoning, clearly dividing the site, and highlighting its elements. With the help of plastic garden border tape, it is much more convenient than with other types of fencing devices to mark the boundaries of beds and lawns, tree trunks, areas where shrubs and flowers grow.

Installing border tape for beds

Border tape is not only an important element for creating a beautiful landscape. It is often used in garden beds for a better harvest. How to use border tape for garden beds, you ask? That's how:

Border tape protects plants from weeds. Roots cannot grow through the partition.
The canvas also traps small pests moving underground. We can say that the beds remain protected.
With its help, you can raise the beds for quick warming up in the spring. For example, for strawberries, this method can be very convenient, not only for speedy ripening of the berries, but also for more convenient watering and care.
In small areas fenced off with tape, the soil remains moist much longer. That is, you will have to water less often.
Garden border tape can also be used when organizing a greenhouse - for insulation and sealing.

It’s easy to make beds using border tape. It is important that, despite all their practical benefits, they are safe for plants and human health, as they are made from eco-friendly material.

Functional plastic garden border

The strip effectively prevents the growth of shoots and lawn grass throughout the territory, limiting the growing area of raspberries and cherries. When used as a lawn edge, it does not interfere with its care: being dug in with a protruding edge no more than two centimeters in height, it does not interfere with the work of the trimmer and lawn mower.

It will be the most convenient solution for creating decorative compositions with multi-colored stones or pebbles: divide the area into zones using border tape, create figures of any, the most bizarre shape. And then fill it with bulk material. The strip will keep the filler in place and prevent the mixing of pebbles from neighboring “zones”.

However, such not entirely decorative garden fences can be used not only in depth, but also superficially. This is how you do it:

raised beds;
multi-tiered flower beds;
garden path edges;
children's sandboxes.

Our products are much more attractive for the garden than a concrete fence, and you can buy them in green and brown colors with a height of 15 cm. For surface installation of the strip, use plastic pegs, which should be placed at a distance of 50 cm from each other. To arrange a lawn, dig down the material so that a border up to 2 cm high protrudes onto the surface.
