Restore the Appearance of Green Metal Edging
Many homes in our community have old metal edging that has turned rusty and unattractive. Replacing the edging with new green metal edging costs about $10 per foot if you do it yourself, or about $20 per foot if you pay to have it done. For about $15, you can purchase a paint that encapsulates the rust, prevents further deterioration and returns the edging to a new look. It is called Hammerite Rust Cap and it is available at Elliott's Hardware for about $15 per quart. A quart is enough to do all of the edging in most yards. You brush it on and it takes a couple of hours to do all of the edging. Use the dark green color. It matches the original green color of the edging almost perfectly.
