What maintenance is required for natural woven garden edging?
Natural woven edging, such as hazel, willow, or chestnut, generally requires minimal maintenance. It will naturally weather and biodegrade over several years, blending into the garden environment. Occasional inspection for loose sections and eventual replacement as it deteriorates are typical. However, you can still expect a good 3-5 life out of your wooden edging depending on the specific wood type.
