Snap together panels need no tools. And they will help light up your life. In a home with forest green carpet, for example, a cord in the same shade is easy to hide. Or, cords can become works of art snaking along the floor. The life of a tree can be a rough one.
Electric trimmers nicking bark and hungry lawn mowers biting chunks can make any willow weep.
Mulch and edgers keep them away. Arbor edge is a new one-piece tree guard and edging system. Made from Polyethylene plastic, Arbor Edge creates a circular landscape edge that also keeps out weeks, and lets water filter down where it's needed. Fill it with mulch or decorative rock and you're done. Available at home-improvement stores including Lowe's in Virginia Beach, Newport News and Williamsburg.
