I have a small yard but want to edge my garden. I understand using a smalle edging spade but noone is talking about what to use as a base and leveling material. Sand, peagravel, builders sand etc.

I used to be a big fan of using materials to edge. But the cost of doing it right is nuts and in the midwest you still get some shifting and heaving. Because I change things up alot to prevent boredom I find using any materials is a waste of time and money. Plus it breaks up the beauty and simplicity of the natural flow of the yard. I use many techniques, but the best way is to use the spade and mini trench method. Go three to four inches and your edges will look spectacular. Plus you save!!!

You can edge by using an edging shovel or even a spade..lay out your bed and cut a 4" deep edge right into the ground. When you mulch or put your stone in..don't feel the edge up the whole way. I prefer to edge right into the ground or a cut stone border

It took her 47 seconds to say not to mix bricks and rocks. Thanks again Expert Village!

Thanks for the advice, but it would it not look better and more uniform and regular if the top edge was even?

my lawn has concrete surrounding it but i can't cut it with the mower because its too big to fit in there i have to cut it myself with scissors. that takes too much time and my hand would ache afterward. is there any kind of tool that can help me?

[lilchevy96]

yes you could go to your local Home-Depot and buy yourself a weed wacker. you could even use the weed wacker to edge your lawn if you dont already have an edger.

[318r3c08]

im afraid it might break if it hit the concrete. im tryin to cut the edge of the lawn that is surrounded by concrete. i dont want to break the thing if it hit the concrete

[lilchevy96]

if the concrete is leel go out and invest in an eger. you could pick one up at the home depot or sears.

[Arteolike]

I don't know if you had bought an edger yet but, the WorxGT is a great invesment! It is cordless (eletric battery) the double helix line is real strong and if you use it against concrete and it still rips, no worri it gives out line automatically to the perfect lenght, and you get the line for free for life!!! And it is a weeder and edger all in one.

a rabbit or guinea pig. don't cost much at the pet store and they're fun. just fence them in somehow and let them out in the days. they keep it a nice length

Put the edging in the ground so that it's flush with the grass, and you won't have to worry about trimming weeds.

[6969skater6969]

Tihs job is for faggets

[alicecolleenflynn]

Sorry, but that looks tacky. Clunky white rocks.... would have been better to put in a week barrier and let it have just a natural flow into the lawn.

[jrb281]

[tritty84]

ANOTHER LESBIAN DO-IT-YOURSELF TIP

[bunnichello]

bit of a bother to keep the grass neat that is next to the stone, I would use edging and sorry to say, the item just looks plonked in the garden, not, connected to anything...not to say it ain't good, just not part of a bigger picture of a designed garden

[icutemall]

How about natural edging, where you simply dig a trench to seperate your landscaping from turf area, nothing to buy. I have used it on brand new homes and it is a rave. drop off from the turf side at ninety degree and 45 off into your scape,lay weed barrier up to your ninety degree. you get the picture, simple, so simple you may think your doing it wrong.

weed fabric u must be a newbe 6 month old.hope know by now! u make it sound so tech. by the way some edge is bad as long as it goes with the rest of the landscape. i like limestone ,flag,boulders,ect. plus like ep henry

[ROSCOANDBOPPERS]
