One of the most important details, occasionally overlooked, is a well defined garden edge. It provides more than just a practical solution of keeping the grass from your garden it can add a whole heap of style too.
Choosing the right edge
Space - If you have limited space you are not going to choose a large rock type of edging. Instead you may choose a small brick or a steel edging. Steel can be a visible feature or one that you almost cannot see.
Personality - Make sure that your garden reflects your personality and style. Choose a look that matches your home and the style you love.
Budget - No one wants to break the bank. Know how much you can spend and a professional landscaper can help you stick to that budget. A professional landscaper can ensure that your design fits its location and your needs.
Find inspiration - Sites like Pinterest are perfect for finding inspiration. If you have chosen your professional landscaper ask to see images from their previous work.
Edging types
Strip edging - Plastic or metal edging is typically used and wonderful for creating curves.
Block edging - This can be a preformed block that generally locks together and has a cap on top.
Stone edging - Typically sandstone is used to create formal edges. However, you can choose larger stones of various sizes for a natural looking edge.
Gabion Edging - A gabion is a steel cage filled with rocks, or stones etc. to make a unique edge or wall.
Timber - Sleepers are the perfect edge, affordable and versatile for many gardens.
Brick - A recycled brick edge can be lovely for a cottage garden.
