The material you choose for each bamboo landscape stake or its metal counterpart can determine whether your beds stay picture-perfect for years or sag after a single season. During a spring storm in 2024, I watched a crew swap out forty split bamboo stakes in under an hour—those replacements saved an heirloom-tomato plot but cost half a day’s labor. That hands-on lesson frames the data, field tests, and cost models you’ll see below. You’ll also find wholesale benchmarks from Wellco Wholesale, an ISO-9001–certified, factory-direct supplier that carries both bamboo and metal stakes in bulk.
