Classic brick edging offers warm color and simple installation, suitable for both natural and formal settings. Brick comes in various sizes and layouts for creating diverse patterns.
A natural garden edge can be achieved by contrasting rich soil with lush grass. Use a wooden plank as a guide when edging with a spade or half-moon edger to keep lines straight.
Cobble pavers provide a neat border for garden paths and beds. They create a structured look and separate garden areas while complementing vibrant foliage and flowers.
Compact hedges can create beautiful, living borders around flower beds. They can enclose gardens and complement central features like fountains.
Combine different edging styles, such as sleek metal for raised beds, low stone blocks for dirt containment, and loose stones for drainage and texture.
Thin wooden planks can separate garden beds from paver-and-gravel walkways, providing a contrast between organic textures and hard materials.
Use a mix of edging techniques in multi-level yards, such as stacked wood for raised beds and corrugated metal containers for flower and herb borders.
Asymmetrical stones can create visually-striking walkways and are complemented by similarly-styled stone edging for a refined yet casual look.
Large boulders offer a dramatic edge and clear definition between lawns and garden beds, especially effective with vertical plants.
