Garden Edging Ideas

 Landscape and Garden Edging Ideas to Sharpen Your Yard



Use these stone and brick garden edging ideas to give character, definition, and texture to your landscaping beds.


Brick garden edging


Brick is a common natural edging choice: it's classic, widely available, and relatively inexpensive. Push the bricks tightly together to minimize gaps where the floor can slip. Lay your bricks on a bed of sand to prevent heat and unevenness at the edge of your garden.


Note: If you place the brick just above the soil, you can run the wheel of your lawn mower over the bricks and use it as a mowing strip. This eliminates the need for trimming.


Diagonal brick garden edging


For a 19th-century domino effect at the edge of your garden, place old, mismatched bricks diagonally. Dig a trench and add several inches of sand to the drain so the bricks don't rise. Place the bricks in the trench, one half exposed, leaning tightly against the next, then fill with soil. If you are edging several garden beds, slope all the bricks in the same direction.

Cast concrete edging

Concrete garden edging makes mowing easy, and its serpentine shape creates a winding path in the landscape shown here. Varying heights add interest and allow for a smooth transition on a slope or uneven terrain.


Flagstone Garden Edging



Edging your landscaping garden beds with flagstone gives it a classic look that's particularly well-suited to country and cottage gardens. Flagstones are available in many colors and thicknesses, so they can easily be used to coordinate or contrast with your plants, other stonework in the landscape, or your home's stonework. Irregularly shaped, the flagstones are durable and stacked securely in the yard.


Rock Garden Edge


Mix and match rock patterns and colors for a natural stone garden edging. Large multicolored rocks complete the informal style of this landscape. The winding, rounded boulders allow Sweet Allies to creep between and among the rocks, creating a lacy, scalloped appearance in this landscaped flower bed.

Cobblestone Garden Edging



Square stones of granite garden edging combine with Korean boxwood fencing to give this landscape shape. 'Annabelle' and oakleaf hydrangeas add white-blooming flowers and their large leaves contrast with the textures and patterns of the pavement, edging, and hedge.

Garden border with plants

Low, climbing plants make a wonderful landscaping garden edging choice. Planted in a long clump, low-growing sweet alyssum (shown here), veronica, bouncing bed, artemisia, coralbells, or candytuft will soften hard edges and provide a splash of color.

Recycled-Bottle Garden Edge


Put your landscape in stained glass bottles for a funky, down-home look in your yard. Bury the neck of the bottle down, sideways into the soil to use as garden edging. To prevent soil or weeds from migrating from the lawn into your beds, sink aluminum foil 8 inches into the ground with glow bottles.
