Wooden garden edging

Wooden garden edging is the natural choice for traditional gardens, blending in seamlessly with your plants and trees, as well as any other wooden garden furniture you may have. It’s also easy to put your own spin on it to make it fit with garden plans, as we stock a whole host of exterior wood paint to help you make it yours.

Metal garden edging

Metal garden borders add a beautiful ornate touch, whether used on flower beds, garden paths, or patios. They are very durable and hardwearing against the elements, but there’s no harm in keeping them in good nick with some metal paint if they fade or chip.

Plastic garden edging

Plastic is a cost-effective and low maintenance option for border edging, which comes into its own in busy garden areas like the veg patch, as it’s easy to transplant and will recover easily from muddy splashes! Try using it in your raised beds for veg patch planning.

FAQs

Is edging a lawn worth it?

Yes! Not only does it make your garden look beautiful, but it also saves water and keeps those pesky weeds at bay. Plus, it boosts your property's value, catching the eye of potential buyers from near and far.

How do you edge a lawn for beginners?

First up, grab your mower and get to work. Then, break out a tape measure or rope to map out your edging path. Get to know how that edging tool moves, then carefully edge off your lawn. Last but not least, don't forget to tidy up any debris left behind.

How many times a year should you edge your lawn?

You want to aim to edge your lawn at least once a year. But, you should edge them in peak grass growing seasons more frequently. You can always edge when you notice ugly overgrowths affecting the beauty of the edge lines.

Can you mow over edging?

Mowing over metal edging can be difficult—it might bend or even break your mower blades. But if there's no risk involved, go ahead and mow when your lawn and pathway are at the same level.

Is it better to edge or mow first?

No strict rules here! But if you're aiming for those picture-perfect edges, starting with a trim makes mowing a breeze and clears away any extra clippings. You can also mow first, but be prepared to tidy up those trimmings that can fly everywhere after edging!

What can you do with grass clippings after edging?

If those clippings are shorter than an inch, you can let them decompose right there on the lawn. But if they're taller than an inch, it's probably a good idea to rake or bag them. That way, they stay off sidewalks, ditches, and waterways.
