Ways to get the right garden border

 Ways to get the right garden border without too much work



Landscaping around your home should have a definite line between the garden areas and the lawn. Not only does it keep unruly grass from gardens and flowering plants, but it also creates a beautiful visual accent.

There are many choices for garden edges, from high-recycled materials such as boards and wine bottles to traditional stone or rock. With so many options, make sure one fits your style. Here are some ideas.


1. stone


Stone blocks are one of the most popular choices, and they are readily available at home and garden centers. They come in a trapezoidal shape, and you can place them in a straight line (by changing shapes) or use them to create curves and waves in the landscape. They require little or no product work; You place the edge stones on the edge of the garden area, crushing them up to the grass. A single row works well, but you can build taller by stacking the stones and shaking the joints.


2. Cinder volume


The cinder blocks on their sides create a unique border for your gardens - and add extra planting space. Fill the holes with soil to create some more space for annuals or grafting of herbs. Painting cinder blocks bring a pop color to the garden.


3. Scrap wood



You can create your chosen garden border using some scrap wood chips and fun paint colors. Collect wood waste in different thicknesses and lengths and cut them into small pieces if necessary. Paint the pieces with a quick coat or two of paint in a variety of colors (or skip the paint and go for a natural look). If you want to get a sleek-chic look, you do not have to cover them completely. Installation is very simple: using a hammer or trowel, wipe one end of the floor where you want your border to be, and place the wood next to the previous piece. Change colors, sizes, and thickness to create a unique look.


4. Wooden logs


Easily convert fallen trees into garden borders with the help of a tree and some extra manpower. Cut them to size and place them on their sides to design rectangular beds for an antique design element in your landscape.


5. River rock



Collect (or buy) rocks of different sizes and place them where you want to create the definition. The rocks in a combination of sizes and colors create a border of unique beauty.


6. Wine bottles


Don't throw away those empty wine bottles anymore! Remove the labels, clean the bottles well, and stick them upside down on the floor to create a distinctive border. Change the colors of the bottles and place them at different heights to add contrast.


7. Plates


Boards are now incredibly popular in crafts and home decor, so it is not surprising that they are used in landscape projects. Remove the boards on the bottom side of the plates and then cut the plates in half so that the slats go from side to side. This will create two pieces that can be used. Cut the boards that go to the floor with the side piece from the top, but extend a few inches below the bottom area, giving it something to stick to the floor. Hammer the pieces on the floor, create your border, and then nail them together to keep the frame from tilting.


8. Plastic



Plastic edging from retail stores is a traditional, hassle-free choice: it can be ground or hammered. Available in a variety of colors and styles to suit any landscape
