An end to lawn edging and subsequent "border creep."

I've laid pavers along the side of my lawn, I've set them level with the height of the grass. (Set in concrete on hardcore and pointed). I can now run the Flymo over them for a perfect finish.

 

nice.I use to leave mine grow over the edge cos my children kept falling on the path so they would cusion the blow:lollol:

 

Very good idea - Doghouse. Your garden looks superb and neat for this time of the year.

 

Each to their own of course, I like the borders tumbling over the edge. It looks neat.

 

I'm hoping it will also prevent any small patches of moss forming which when it does, is always on that edge of the lawn. In the front garden where several azeleas overhang the edge of the lawn, the grass tends to die off. So I'm hoping the same treatment may stop some of that too.

 

A lot of work there mefinks

 

Actually, not too bad. I had to break up a lot of old surplus small pieces of York stone to make the hard core. Then mix five bags of concrete mix (expensive way of doing it, but more convenient) with more cement and sand added to make it more workable. The breaking up of the stone with a lump hammer and the mixing was the hardest parts. I laid the 70 or so you can see and another thirty-five in the front garden on Thursday and it was warm enough for the back to "go off" by late afternoon so I got the pointing done too. I pointed the ones around one edge of our front lawn yesterday day after golf and a shopping trip and I replaced some of the turf this morning.
