What stones are best for garden edging and how to do it?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about your garden makeover.

Using pebbles is a great way to create a garden border. I often suggest using pebbles that are easy to manage, not too small or too big. Pebbles that don't harm the plants in the garden. A good example would be Tuscan Path 10kg 10 - 20mm Smooth Cream Pebbles. Not too bright that it catches too much attention and not too big that it overwhelms the garden. Do you want them as a border or do you want them to cover the planted area?

Would it be possible for you to post a picture of the garden area and where you propose to place the pebble border? This will give our members a better idea of how things are laid out. We can then offer you recommendations on how to lay your border.

The most common method of laying a pebble border is to dig a rectangular channel. The common width is about 120mm to150mm and a suggested depth of 30mm is good enough to hold the pebbles in. A covering of weedmat prevents weeds from growing in between the pebbles and prevents them from mixing in with the soil. I suggest using Whites Weed Mat Pins - 20 Pack to keep the weedmat in place.

It sounds like a great garden project, we look forward to seeing the photos.
