Lawn Edging

[stevebamford]

Hi All,

Well the spring is here and we're about to start cutting some beds into our lawn (we bought a wreck with a rubble heap of a garden so initially turfed the whole back garden - wall to wall!)

Any pointers on what I could edge the beds with ? I've seen a product that has vertical sides and a flap that folds down over the lawn to hold it in place (not sure I'm meant to mention the name but it does give the lawn a very smart edge ) - anyone used it ? Any good ?

I'm after something with no maintenance that I can mow right over or up to ?

Cheers all - hope you're enjoying the sun more than me (stuck in office)

That looks good but as you say - a bit pricey

Don't suppose you've used this stuff have you ?

I did not notice it, but I guess that someone may read it
The Idea of using edgings to reduce labor must work also on 2012
