Fixing sunken edging in older landscaping

Hi all, Moved into a house in June that's about 30 years old. The hardscaping is to my knowledge about 20 years older. It was mostly well maintained except that the edging separated some dirt beds from the grass and the hardscape has sunken into the ground. The edging itself still looks mostly intact! So my question is: What the heck do I do about this? - Do I simply dig out like 2-3 inches on each side and pull it up? - Should I remove some dirt from the beds? - Or is it better to just re-edge the whole thing? Pictures attached- You can see in some spots it's sunk a few inches and in others is basically at or even below the ground level. https://preview.redd.it/hf0akhhvi5ie1.jpg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5674366dbb7b894918d1bcb97dc16627efb55319 https://preview.redd.it/tipseshvi5ie1.jpg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ac6066de55a0967bed32872d2e0d9af208f1cb45 https://preview.redd.it/9v5ynshvi5ie1.jpg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=65204b8f713ff6baa8e9d55fa6ef26a5b5bb2ab2 https://preview.redd.it/303viehvi5ie1.jpg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a09619d2611c9d320ce257acb5353edc159df809 https://preview.redd.it/vp0sbfhvi5ie1.jpg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e441daef37eaf331eed620cf47869104b91a71b submitted by /u/GilloD [link] [comments]

Hi all,

Moved into a house in June that's about 30 years old. The hardscaping is to my knowledge about 20 years older. It was mostly well maintained except that the edging separated some dirt beds from the grass and the hardscape has sunken into the ground. The edging itself still looks mostly intact! So my question is: What the heck do I do about this?

  • - Do I simply dig out like 2-3 inches on each side and pull it up?
  • - Should I remove some dirt from the beds?
  • - Or is it better to just re-edge the whole thing?

Pictures attached- You can see in some spots it's sunk a few inches and in others is basically at or even below the ground level.
