A critical part of making your garden look polished and well-thought-out is having good garden edging. Clear edges provide definition and structure to your garden and prevent weeds and grass from crossing boundaries. They are the ideal finishing touch to any good landscaping project.
Garden edges can be constructed using strategically-placed plants or, for extra definition, hardscaping. Let us take you through some of the best plants that could make your garden edges look amazing.
Round plants
Low, round plants such as artemisia are relatively well-behaved and look wonderful as a garden edging solution. Their rounded, flowing forms can draw the eye along any garden border, inviting intrigue to your chosen landscaping solutions.
Boxwood hedges
Boxwood hedges toe the line between extra-tidy hardscaping and soft plants. When well-maintained, they provide a charming sense of formality in any garden. Check out our hedge trimming services if tidy hedges appeal to you.
Colourful flowers
Low, colourful flower bushes are a lovely choice for your garden edge. Draw the eye around your garden bed form with a bold colour such as pink, orange or red that stands out from your grass. Choosing similar hues for your colour-themed garden edge will make it look sophisticated without being too stuffy.
Hardscaping for your garden edges
Want a bit more definition than a plant-to-grass transition in your garden edges? Hardscaping plays an important role in all landscaping, and it can provide that extra finishing touch to your garden.
Paving stones
Concrete pavers last forever and provide an attractive, durable solution to your garden edge. They also offer a lot of different creative solutions. A single line of them could be used to edge your garden bed, or you could lay many more to construct tidy garden paths.
Natural rocks
Natural rocks come in all sorts of sizes, shapes, and colours. They are easy to use to line the edges of your garden beds and last a long time. Matched with large flat rocks, you can create a mystical path through your garden.
Metal
Metal garden edges are easy to install and provide a clean, well-defined line between different sections of your garden. With a galvanised or painted finish, they will be extra long-lasting as well as extra tidy. Or, if you prefer a rustic appearance for your country-style garden, unfinished metal would be perfect.
Brick
When laid in a shallow trench, bricks can be a fantastic, long-lasting solution to getting a tidy garden edge. Our team at GK Creations have a meticulous eye for detail that will ensure the brickwork in your garden gets completed perfectly.
Shovel edging
If you don’t like the look of any hardscape edging solutions or plants spilling over your grass, shovel edging is the way to go. It provides a clean look where grass sits a touch above the soil in your garden bed, and it keeps your grass from invading anywhere it shouldn’t be.
Timber
Not only is timber cost-effective, but it also looks stylish and rustic when used on your garden edge. It is perfect for all kinds of gardens, including your vegetable gardens. The only downside of timber edging is that it is not ideal for creating curved borders.
Bamboo
The perfect material to edge your Zen-style garden, bamboo can be used for edging and fencing. Use it to line your terraces or section off different parts of your garden.
