Lawn edging ideas

[Laurasanford111]

Hello,

So we have this rectangular patch of lawn for the kids, they also have access to the first section of garden, to the left of this patch is raised beds.

It's a narrow garden very long so having a curved path wouldn't have looked right. I however hate how square and structured this edge looks, we used what we thought was treated wood which my dh now things isn't treated..so I was thinking about getting that flexible lawn edging which is thinner or putting a slight curve on the lawn or last option having planting of some kind, bearing in mind kids will be running all around it, I could take the edging up but the soil from grass will get into the woodchip... Any suggestions welcome. I see other people with straight lawn edges or straight path to lawn and looks fine but this just doesn't. Where the bench is I'm going to have grasses and planting,hardy geranium etc but yeah, I don't really have any garden enthusiast friends so that's why I'm on here hoping to get some inspo and advice x

I have similar and think I'll just break it up with some planting. Not much use if the kids will trample it though.

My beds have curved edges and there was nothing between them and the lawn, so this spring I used reclaimed bricks to make an edging (I already had the bricks, they were from a fireplace I'd had removed, but you should be able to get some cheaply).

The edge is softer now plants have filled out.

We used Everedge for our bed edging- it’s flexible but sturdy and it would make edging your lawn a breeze! It’s not the cheapest but you often see leftover packs on eBay and Everedge also do seconds at a cut price sometimes.

Didn’t you ask this before? Same photo?

I did yes but not a lot of people replied haha so I didnt have many ideas or inspo to go with 😬

This is lovely what a beautiful garden! Bricks is a great idea, lots of people give them.aeay on Facebook so I might look Into that

@DougMLancs hello! I've heard of that brand, I did see some edging on Amazon flexible stuff you hammer into the ground which I thought could do a similar job it has ok ish reviews, it would look less harsh I guess than the wood we have but still not to sure.

I actually think with a narrow garden a curved path and/or curved lawn looks better. Having a curve tricks the eye and makes the space look wider where a long straight path just leads the eye straight to the end point. The curved edging or using bricks would both work well and in any gaps you then end up making you can put plants to soften everything.
