Lawn Care Made Easier

by National Gardening Association Editors


If you’ve ever struggled to move downspout extensions and splash blocks before you mow- and then had put them back once you were done- you’ll probably appreciate a new product from Landscape Timesavers called Channel Guard.

Made of sections of extruded plastic that can be locked together, Channel Guard is recessed into the ground and can be filled with gravel to form a ground-level path for water dispersal from down spouts. It can also be placed underneath fences or along the edges of buildings to make a weed-free area in these hard-to-mow spaces. You’ll spend less time with the string trimmer and mower and have time for more interesting garden activities.

Channel Guard is available in 4 and 6 foot lengths that can be interlocked to make a channel of any length needed.
