Gardening expert shares tips on installing lawn edging

I love formal garden borders, a defined space and separation between the lawn and borders containing favourite trees, shrubs, plants and flowers. The sight of formal borders is common at stately gardens and parks, leaving us dreaming of the same in our garden. A lawn edging product is not just nice on the eye but comes with real garden benefits. It saves time, keeps the lawn looking neat and tidy all year round and helps to support quilts of mulch.

Lawn edging prevents the lawn grass from encroaching into borders and beds. Much time is spent keeping edges tidy. A lawn edging significantly reduces the time spent on maintaining garden beds and borders, keeping edges neat and tidy and very well defined.

The lawn grass also benefits from not having weeds encroaching into it, with the edging acting as a barrier against roots. Edging can also support wood chipping and mulch in beds and borders.

I have used lawn edging for many years and it’s one of my favourite garden products. It’s easy to create beds and borders which are curved and even circular, it isn’t just a straight line edging.

It’s important to have a kneeling pad, small pieces of rectangular wood, mallet, lawn edging tool and gloves ready for installing lawn edging. Always following instructions contained within the packaging when installing.
