Introduction
When it comes to creating a polished, functional, and long-lasting garden, one of the most overlooked features is edging. Garden edging doesn’t just separate spaces—it defines them.

Why Garden Edging Matters
1. Create Clean Lines for a Polished Look
Defined borders give your garden an organised, intentional appearance. Straight lines or sweeping curves created with steel edging make lawns, driveways, and garden beds look sharper and more sophisticated.
2. Support Garden Health and Longevity
Good edging prevents grass and weeds from invading your beds, giving plants the space and nutrients they need to thrive.
3. Prevent Soil Erosion and Mulch Runoff
In areas with heavy rainfall, edging keeps mulch and soil where they belong—maintaining a neat, low-maintenance garden.
4. Stop Weeds From Spreading
Steel edging forms a physical barrier against invasive grasses and weeds, saving you time and reducing the need for chemicals.
Weathering Steel (Corten Steel) – The Premium Choice
Straightcurve edging is made from weathering steel, often known as Corten steel.
What Makes Weathering Steel Special?
- Unique Patina – develops a rust-like finish that matures into a deep ochre, adding warmth and character.
- Durability – resists corrosion far better than mild steel, typically lasting 4–6 times longer.
- Low Maintenance – minimal bleeding or staining once the patina has fully formed.
Lifespan & Performance
Depending on conditions, Corten edging can last anywhere between 10–30 years. Unlike cheaper plastic or timber options that warp or rot, weathering steel is built to endure Australian conditions.

Straightcurve vs. Other Options
Material | Pros | Cons |
---|---|---|
Straightcurve Weathering Steel | Premium look, modular design, easy to shape, 10–30 year lifespan, develops natural patina | Slightly higher upfront cost compared to plastic or timber |
Mild Steel | Cheaper upfront | Rusts quickly, stains, short lifespan |
Aluminium | Lightweight, rust-resistant | Lacks strength, bends easily, limited design appeal |
Plastic/Timber | Lowest upfront cost, easy to source | Warps, cracks, rots, short lifespan, frequent replacement needed |
Straightcurve combines the durability of steel with the ease of modular installation, making it a smarter long-term choice.
