What are my options when it comes to edging between lawn and gardens?
Cement, timber, plastic, stone, metal, brick. These are the basic materials. To make a true decision you need to decide on the following; Does it need to reatain, do you need a mowing strip, do you want to do it yourself or will you pay a contractor. Check display gardens for results and inspiration. Dianne – Glenorchy I’m looking for a quick growing hedge plant. My soil is heavy and I’m restricted on width and cautious of maintenance and don’t want to be a slave to the plant. Thanks Dianne. Soil is the key to plant health.
