Garden Edging

Garden edging serves as the landscape's punctuation—the clean lines and defined borders that separate and organize different zones within the garden. Without edging, garden beds creep into lawns, mulch migrates onto pathways, and the overall landscape appears untidy regardless of how well individual plantings are maintained. Effective edging creates visual order that makes the entire garden feel more intentional and well-designed. The range of edging materials and styles is vast, from invisible aluminum strips that maintain clean lawn-to-bed transitions to decorative brick or stone borders that become design features in their own right. The choice of edging material should harmonize with the home's architecture and the garden's overall style—formal gardens benefit from precise stone or brick borders, cottage gardens suit informal natural stone edges, and contemporary landscapes favor clean steel or aluminum lines. Installation methods vary from simple pound-in stakes to mortared masonry, with the investment level typically corresponding to the edging's permanence and visual impact.
