I've come over to see my mate Jason who
lives in the suburbs here in beautiful
sunny Perth.
He loves his garden and takes great
pride in it and I've brought something
with me. I've got him a present that'll
help make this area look that little bit
more special. First job is to pull up
these pavers to create a narrow garden
bed. Wherever you've got a lawn and
garden bed meeting like this some form
of edging makes maintenance easier and
helps give definition. This is a steel
edging it's got a beautiful earthy rusty
patina that's much in vogue in the
landscaping at the moment and it's easy
to install. Oxy-Shield is made from
durable long-lasting steel similar to
stainless the rust look develops over
time and is intentional of course and
only on the surface. Oxidizing to form a
protective coating resistant to
corrosion and flaking. If you're
wondering how the edging joins together
it's a simple but effective system you
just line up these lugs on one side with
the holes of the other, bend them over
with the screwdriver and the job's done.
I don't know about you but this fence
here looks a bit tired a little bit
nasty to me. Now the Oxy-Shield panels
are perfect for this situation they've
got these really cool laser-cut designs
and they can be hung on a fence or a
wall or on a frame like this that Jason's
knocked together for me. And it's simple
just like hanging a picture. I'm gonna
put in some screws lined up with the
holes and on she goes. We're gonna do
three as well.
To complete the picture and finish off
the makeover here at Jason's place we've
put in these tree-ring podiums. Just over
here I've basically used it as a facade
around an existing pot with the mango.
But here I've used it as an actual planter.
Filled it with soil, planted the Lomandras, give it it some
mulch and wushka! Have a look at that, I
love it, sensational.
