Border edges

What do you have to separate lawn and flower beds? Anything cool you've seen as well?

I'm ideally looking for low cost or low effort. I'm realistically not going to build with railway sleepers or heavy things like that.

I’ve put Everedge in (steel) but my garden is small and I’m a very keen gardener. Looks fab works a treat but not cheap.

If you use softwood beware that it does not last forever and can be thoroughly rotten after a relatively short amount of time, it can look fine on the surface but when disturbed it can be rotten & hollow.
If you had wanted to use wood and finances allowed, use oak sleepers instead. We bought some earlier this year and as long as you research first, prices are not unreasonable.

Corten steel edging is very popular at the moment and easily installed. We put some around beds which protrude into the lawn and they make a good, almost invisible barrier.

I love Victorian rope edging tiles - you can usually find them on Facebook marketplace if you live close to a Victorian town.
