  How to make landscaping edgers boders

The colored concrete is easy you can buy concentrate at the local building supply. If you mix colors it can be a little difficult to stay consistant.
You can also just purchase a dark colored latex paint and mix it in.
If you have a reinforcing bar bender you can easily bend up U s to provide the width and position. If you make them longer you can drive them into the ground to hold them in place.
You can purchse the thin plastic sheet at US plastics, a kitchen supply or possibly a building supply. You can also use oiled thin plywood or Lauan.

The color concentrate you buy for the concrete mix is expensive. A cheaper menthod is to purchase the color concentrate for exterior latex paint, if they will sell it. If the latex is a dark color you can mix it in. The small amount of latex will tend to act as a crack modifier.
Murf is right I was talking about using the bent bars as stakes, but you can use wooded stakes with the lauan or thin plywood.
