Re: How to build a garden bed edge?

Hi @oki

 

Thanks for sharing your question about garden edging. Looking at the photo you posted the edging was created using Icon Plastics 100mm x 10m Slate Grey Garden Edge. If you are trying to recreate this look in the photo, make sure to mark the area where the garden edging will sit. I suggest using Tuscan Path 280mm Black Garden Edging Peg - 10 Pack to initially hold the garden edging in place. But once you start filling it with rocks and pebbles you can then arrange the edging to your desired shape.

 

Depending on how much you are planning to fill your garden display, it will be necessary to dig a channel for the edging, you also have the choice of getting a shorter garden edging if you don't wish to dig too deeply. 

 

I also suggest having a quick look at this discussion - Garden makeover with flexible steel garden edging by @EleventhCoastal

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

 

Eric
