Richard Eggleton

In 1973, Richard Eggleton, the founder of Borderline, invented the first of a long line of specialized machines, by bringing together a few bits and pieces of equipment he had lying around his workshop.

Richard had an idea. An idea that would revolutionize garden landscaping forever. That idea was free-form concrete garden edging. It took the world by storm.

Now others may claim they were the first, but it was our very own Richard Eggleton who not only conceived it, but developed it into what we see today. After the initial research and development, manufacturing was commenced in 1979, and the first machines marketed in 1980.

Thanks to Richard’s vision, landscapers and architect designers were no longer restricted on what they could contain, create, and contour. Richard's vision continues today, as he drives continual research and development for Borderline, throughout the world.
