Hi all,
The edges of my lawns (about 60m) are always untidy. I don't mind cutting the grass (with a push mower, which I like using) but we never seem to get round to doing the edging properly, and instead work on other bits of the garden (veg, flowers, loafing etc).
So I am thinking of laying a mowing strip out of blocks all the way round. Something like the top four pictures on here:

Has anyone on here done, or got, such a thing? If so, does it really mean just using the mower, and no more edging (or lawn creeping into the borders). I am trying to work out if it is worth the trouble (and cost of the materials) to put in the strip. I don't mind the work involved as long as it would make things easier in the long run.
Thanks,
