More importantly, it should be attractive to look at and suit the kind of garden you have so that it adds to the overall appearance of your landscape. An expert can assist you by designing a space that stands out and has a good overall look to it.

There are many attractive edging choices:

  • Stone materials can be prepared to create a fine border. These can include natural bush rocks, although some stone tile materials can be used as well.
  • Bricks can establish a rustic and classic look to your entire landscape.
  • Paved surfaces can be used against the lawn side of the edging to make mowing easier.

The gardens that such edges enclose  should be considered as well. You won’t want high edgings if the plants in the garden grow low to the ground.  Tall edgings go with tall plants; short, low edgings enhance smaller plants such as annuals. Edges can be also used as a dividing space between different sections of the garden. Whatever you choose, the advice of a talented expert will help you to get that edging in just the right places to enhance your garden.
