My neighbor has it. I don't care for look of it.
It's not too popular around here. I think for what it costs people prefer a block or stone with a better finished look.

Your talking about garden bed edging correct, not parking lot curbs?

Honestly I've never heard of it until you posted this. Around here most people just have an edge you dig with a shovel, or if they have edging it is individual bricks or plastic they line up. Like the pics below. Don't get me wrong, I think it looks good, but people don't do it in my area.

I would say see if anyone else in the area offers the service, and if any of your current customers would be interested in the service. Because $5000 is a lot of money if you don't get any jobs to pay for it.
