The Anthony’s and other franchise owners have the solution for those trying to conjure up creative ideas for landscaping their home. It’s called Border Magic�, a continuous, decorative concrete edging with endless possibilities for yard enhancement. Border Magic� edging is stylish, easy to maintain, and is becoming an increasingly popular method for landscaping around trees, flower beds, gardens and mailboxes. In addition, Border Magic� has recently expanded their product line and now offers garden paths, walkways and sidewalks which range from 14” to 36” wide.

Some of the many advantages of Border Magic� include: � The unique installation process allows for curves, turns and charming contours.
