A paved garden edging will make the garden bed and lawn look neat and tidy and easier to maintain, according to Home Improvement Pages.
Separating the garden bed from the lawn with pavers has the following benefits:
- Make for easy mowing and whipper snippering
- Prevent mulch and soil from escaping the garden bed
- Stop weeds and grass from entering the garden bed
There are different paving options, but make sure to pick small-sized pavers. These include:
- New or recycled bricks
- Natural stone
- Square or rectangular concrete pavers
- Flagstone pieces
There are a variety of colours to choose from. For a coherent look, pick a colour, or more than one colour if preferred, that will complement other paved areas or match the colour of the home.
When paving the garden edges, a professional landscaper, gardener or handyman can ensure that the pavers are secure and won’t move. This is done by laying the pavers on an appropriate base with mortar.
