ProEdge Aluminum Putting Green Edging System
ProEdge earns a best-in-class spot for putting-green applications thanks to its lightweight, anodized aluminum profiles that deliver straight, corrosion-resistant edges and tight turf retention without the heft of steel. Compared with EverEdge's galvanized steel, ProEdge typically costs more up front but offers lower lifecycle maintenance and cleaner tolerances than U-nail anchors or terrace board options, making it the technically superior choice when precision and long-term appearance matter most.

Master Mark Terrace Board Edging
Master Mark terrace board edging is favored for aesthetic, budget-minded green builds where a natural timber or composite look is desired; it holds its position by being easy to cut, install, and integrate with landscaping. Technically and financially it is more accessible than metal systems, but it typically requires more maintenance and offers less precision for putting surfaces than the aluminum and galvanized solutions on this list.

It performs well aesthetically but requires periodic maintenance compared with metal or composite options."
