The best garden stakes

By

A garden stake may serve various purposes beyond holding up a top-heavy plant. Decorative stakes tie a beautiful yard together, while landscape staples keep yards neat by anchoring wires, fabrics, and other materials down. To help you determine what the best garden stake is for you, we’ve compiled the best ones onto this list. Let’s take a look.

Garden stakes provide more use than just helping tomato vines grow. They can help keep adolescent trees straight, illuminate dark paths, and anchor electric wires, for starters. When shopping for a garden stake, keep in mind that there are traditional stakes that are typically straight wooden or metal pieces placed in the ground. Another type of stake is called a landscape staple and is much more versatile. These are usually made of metal, but are flexible. Lastly, decorative stakes are also popular for the sole purpose of making a yard look more attractive. Keep these in mind as we look closely at our favorite garden stakes.
