Edging and Water Gardens
Edging your gardens helps to stop lawn grass from creating extra weeds and gives a clean, attractive look to your gardens. The purpose of edging is to separate the flower bed, shrub bed or groundcover area from lawn grass and keep grass out of the planting bed. Edging may also be used to outline and define a specific area in the landscape area. The edging directs the mower away from precious flowers and also protects them from weed trimmer damage.There are lots of reasons to use an edger to border your flower bed, and there are many different kinds of edging available.
Edging is related to the overall landscape design and layout of landscape and plantings. If your landscape is a formal design you need planting areas or flower beds with straight edges and geometric shapes. As these are easily edged with standard materials and if your landscape design is informal, you need curves. As it requires an edging that is flexible or is installed in short increments so it can be fitted or formed to shape. When lay out the beds, use sweeping curves rather than squiggles. It will result in a more pleasing design and make edging and subsequent maintenance easier.
