Victoria Embankment Gardens

Category: Rite-Edge

The Victoria Embankment Garden in London was one of the great nineteenth century public works projects designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette.  It comprised of a series of public gardens created from 1864 following the embankment of the River Thames. The scheme gave London a truck sewer, an underground railway station and a new riverside road and the formal gardens.

The scheme was completed in 1870 and today consists of four formal gardens, statues and monuments. The north section was completed first in the form of Temple Gardens, followed by the Main Garden on the side of Adelphi Gardens, Whitehall Garden and the southernmost Garden known as the Ministry of Defence Garden.

The Whitehall Garden has made excellent use of Rite-Edge within the garden to create formal flower beds with clean crisp lines which highlights the quality of planting within them and the surrounding lush lawn areas.

Designed by landscape architects, our multi-award winning RITE-EDGE is increasingly specified in professional landscape designs as the obvious edge for lawns, borders, beds and pathways alike, keeping that pristine neat garden appearance with perfect straight, corners and enviable curves and shapes. Held securely in place with barbed fixing stakes, RITE-EDGE is manufactured from an Aircraft Grade Aluminium Alloy designed to last at least 27 years, so no painting, staining, rusting or replacing to worry about. RITE EDGE, being light and easy to handle, comes in long lengths and has a unique, telescopic design to make installation very neat, quick and easy. The profile of RITE-EDGE features a smooth round top edge, so no sharp edges to cut you or damage the lawn mower blades, and a castellated body which gives maximum strength for heavy lawn mowers and prevents lifting by frost. Stand back with pride and admire that permanent “Just-Edged” look without all those hours of back-breaking edging spade and shear work.
