1. Saw through the edging after removing the soil and mulch on both sides. If the damage is on a curved area, cut farther back to where the edging runs straight so the newly installed piece can make a more natural, graceful curve.

2. Prepare the new edging for installation. Cut the new piece long enough to lap onto the end of the curve (as shown in Photo 3), then prepare both ends by cutting and removing a 4-in. section of the top tube and bottom anchoring flange, leaving a 4-in. flap in the middle.

3. Fasten the new section to the old one by first installing a 7-in. plastic connecting pin between the old and new tubular tops and drawing them tightly together. Drill four 1/8-in. holes near each corner of the overlap flap and install 1/8-in. dia. medium-length rivets.

4. Mark the final cut on the old edging by pulling the new piece tightly around the curve, using the top tube as a guide. Insert the connecting pin, overlap the flap and rivet that end too. Backfill the trench and restore the mulch and sod.
