some cases, edging is purely ornamental, but in others it s needed to keep surface materials such as gravel and bark n place, and to keep soil from overflowing from the beds.
NOT ALL surfaces need to be edged but it often adds the finishing touch. Use bricks or tiles or, for a more informal, rustic effect, logs. Plants themselves can also be used edging lightweight as edging. Low clipped hedges of box go particularly well with brick or stone surfaces. Lavender is a more decorative choice and it can also be clipped into neat shapes.
Use edging around flowerbeds to stop the soil overflowing on to surrounding areas, especially gravel or paths laid with chipped bark. Edging also helps prevent the edges of hard surfaces breaking away or sinking.
Bricks set in a number of ways are commonly used edging lightweight for edging, as is stone, but you can also use logs in a woodland setting. Tiles also serve the purpose well. |
