Quick answer
Choose Greenes Full Log Lawn Edging (15 in x 5 in) for a uniform, rustic border that defines flower beds and tree rings with a consistent height. Pick the Half Log Staggered Edging (18 in x 7 in) when you want a more organic, varied look and easier curving around walkways or irregular beds.
Height and visual impact
The most obvious difference is the profile. Full log edging stands a consistent 5 inches tall, creating a clean, even line that works well for formal gardens or when you want a clear separation between lawn and bed. Half log staggered edging varies from 5 to 7 inches, giving a more natural, undulating border that mimics the look of stacked logs.
Flexibility and layout
Both products use flexible backing, but the half log's longer 18-inch sections and staggered design make it easier to follow tight curves. The full log's 15-inch segments are also flexible but may require more pieces to achieve the same radius. If your garden has sweeping curves or circular tree rings, the half log is more forgiving.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Full Log Edging (RC34B): Uniform 5-inch height creates a crisp, formal border. Best for straight runs or gentle curves around rectangular beds and walkways. Requires more sections for tight circles.
- Half Log Staggered Edging (RC32B): Staggered 5–7 inch height mimics natural stacked logs. Easier to curve into tight circles or irregular shapes. Metal stakes speed up installation in soft soil. If your layout has multiple curves or you want a rustic look, the half log is the practical choice.
- Cost and coverage: Full log edging is priced at $70.29 per pack (compare at $94.99). Half log edging is $41.39 per pack (compare at $59.99). The half log offers a lower entry price and longer sections, reducing the number of packs needed for larger borders. For a large project, half log edging can be more budget-friendly per linear foot.
