We were out of town for the weekend. It arrived while we were gone. My son kept it for us till we got back. My husband assembled it while I was on the phone with a friend. It was such a surprise when I walked out on the patio and it was standing in the yard ready for my little wisteria plants to be planted. I love it!
After considering various options like pavers, rocks, plastic edging, etc. I decided on these steel tree rings because they are durable and discreet. I was tired of mulch always floating away and grass invading the mulch around my trees.
Installation tip: instead of trying to measure a perfect circle around the tree, put the ring in place and lightly tap it down. Then, use the holes in the ground from the spikes as a guide to dig with your shovel.
Note: to others, this has a smaller inside diameter than the 3 feet. It's 900mm which is 35.4 inches. So if you are like me and are using a rubber tree ring inside of it, you'll need to trim the rubber mulch ring.
Great quality though, fast shipping from the Folks at Henderson and easy to install with a basic ratchet.
I recieved this basket and am very disappointed one of the holes in the fiber liner is torn because of the black zip tie so 1 hole turned into 2. Am trying to return but have not gotten an email back on what to do. Not impressed.
A great product and amazing support from Erin! Thick steel, well designed edging that I used for stair risers to build a tiered steps along a slope from patio to garage. Beautiful, modern and natural — easier and more cost effective than stone masonry. We used river rock gravel as top layer in harmony with our flagstone patio.
Will be doing this again I’m sure — Thanks to Erin for your guidance and expert advice. The steps turned into a piece of landscape art !!
