Beautiful garden edging ideas

Garden edging ideas for every style



Garden edging can help prevent weeds, grass, and mulch from invading your flower beds and vegetable patches. One of the cheapest and easiest ways to decorate your garden is to use materials you already have at home or can find for free, such as bricks, stones, rocks, or concrete blocks, to create a sturdy and rustic border for your plants. Another option for DIY garden edging is to use natural materials that blend in with your landscape, such as wood, bamboo, wicker, or twigs.


However, garden edges have no boundaries. Whether you want to create a simple border or a more elaborate design, there are many DIY garden edging ideas that you can try at home.


1. Brick garden edging



The brick is durable and low maintenance, making it a perfect choice for garden edging. It is versatile and easy to work with.


2. Flower bed edge


The sparkle of blooming flowers adds a pop of color to your garden. Therefore, flower bed edging is a great alternative to metal or brick garden edging.


3. Stone garden edging



Stone edging can create a natural, rustic, or elegant look. It's an affordable option and you don't need a professional to install it.


4. Concrete garden edging


Concrete edging can help define your garden beds, tree surrounds, and driveway curbs and match any landscape shape. It lasts for years and can tolerate harsh weather.


5. Plastic garden edging



Plastic garden edging is a popular and easy way to create a neat and tidy border for your garden. It is flexible, durable, and comes in a variety of colors and styles.


6. Rubber garden edging


Rubber rims are made from recycled rubber tires, which are environmentally friendly and easy to install. You can save yourself time and money by cutting back on frequent weeding, trimming, or edging.


7. Orchard edge



Wooden garden edging can add a natural and rustic charm to your garden. It is very easy for you to install and customize it.


8. Shell plantation edge


Shell garden edging is a creative and eco-friendly way to bring some coastal vibes to your garden. One of the most unique and impressive types of shell rim is giant shells.


9. Boundary fence



A boundary fence is another form of garden edging. It is durable, weather resistant, and requires little attention.


10. Bamboo plantation edge


Bamboo is a renewable and environmentally friendly material that can enhance the beauty and functionality of your landscape. You can use pre-made bamboo blocks or make your own.


11. River rock edge



River rocks can add contrast and texture to your garden beds, paths, walkways, and other areas. This will help prevent erosion, improve drainage and reduce weed growth.


12. Path edge


Path edging can help keep your garden tidy. There are many types of driveway edging that you can choose from, from brick, stone, or wood.


13. Bottle garden edging



You can use glass or plastic bottles to create a border around your flower beds, vegetable patch, or paths. Glass bottles are more durable and attractive than plastic bottles, but they are harder to find and cut.

Great Designs for Container Groupings

Once your single containers are ready to merge It's hard to fail with a group of containers. Any size group, from a simple couple to large multiples, can enhance any outdoor space. Open patios and decks become softer and more intimate when you place pots around them. A straight and simple outdoor path lined with containers can become a wave of sorts—a formal one with some plants or an informal path with others. You never know what you'll come up with by placing one pot next to another or a particular plant with others. Once you start experimenting, you'll notice many places where a container is grouped. 1. Combine bright colors This collection of colorful pots introduces the viewer to the vivid color scheme in the beds behind it, mainly blue flowers. However, to maintain exclusivity, pots get exclusive rights to colors like magenta, pink and chartreuse. 2. Formal lateralization A combination of papyrus and vases always looks elegant, but when placed side by sid...

Strategies for improving a small garden space

Prioritize functionality when every inch is precious When I started designing gardens 20 years ago, I was surprised to find that small spaces were more challenging to plan than large ones. In those early years, a small number of clients would come to me with detailed lists of items they must have, and I would struggle to fit everything in. Identifying specific features and details was a major breakthrough. A garden should be the final step in the process, not the first. Since then, every consultation I have with a new client begins with three questions I've nicknamed the "three W's." These prompts help my clients imagine interacting with their redesigned spaces, and while they're useful in remodeling gardens of all sizes, they're especially helpful when space is at a premium. When my husband and I recently moved into a new house with a small backyard, we had the opportunity to use the process for ourselves. Here's what we found. Three question...

Top 10 Early Spring Flowering Shrubs

Early Spring Flowering Shrubs Spring-blooming shrubs and bushes add color to backyards early in the season, attract pollinators and more. 1. Carnelian cherry dogwood Cornus mas, zones 4 to 8 Size: Up to 20 feet tall and wide Welcome spring with bright yellow flowers that appear earlier than those of forsythia. These spring-blooming shrubs prefer full sun or partial shade and prefer rich, moist, well-drained soil. Leaves turn purplish red in fall, and scaly bark adds winter interest. Why we love it: Red fruits are edible, but they're also made into preserves, jellies and slices. Or leave them for the birds to enjoy. 2. Dwarf Russian Almond Prunus tenella, zones 2 to 6 Size: 2 to 5 feet tall and wide This moderate-sized shrub records the growing season with showy rose-red flowers and yellow-orange fall color. It prefers full sun, tolerates a variety of soil types and is very drought tolerant. Ruth's 100 produces lots of flowers on a small plant. Why we love it: Flo...
