Stone garden edges are an easy way to add a designer flourish to your garden, even if you are on a budget
Stone garden edges are an easy way to add a designer flourish to your garden, even if you are on a budget.
They not only keep borders neat and mark out different areas, but they have lots of other benefits too, like protecting plants, providing natural drainage and deterring pests.
Stone garden edges ideas
White stones
If you aren’t gifted when it comes to arranging stones in an arty way, then small white stones are the way to go. White stones look pretty juxtaposed against the green of a lawn, or beside a colourful flowerbed. All you need to do is line the edges between plants and grass with a layer of stones to the desired thickness, or you can create a mini wall effect by piling them on top of each other along the edge.
Natural stone edging
Large flat natural stones are perfect if you want to create a rustic and organic-looking garden edge. They should not be too well ordered as the idea is to randomly lay different sizes of stones so they look like the border has occurred naturally. You can also make a statement by using contrasting stones, for example, smaller chippings edged by flat stones.
Slate chippings
Dark slate against the bright green of grass looks contemporary, and again doesn’t require too much skill to install. You can simply spread the chippings to the desired border thickness, or you can edge them with larger rocks if you wish to bring more texture into your design.
Pebbles and cobbles
Another way to create an effective border is by using pebbles or cobbles. They are just so simple and attractive, and Forward Builders’ Supplies has a great range of colours to suit any project, from beautiful white to rich brown.
If you want to get creative, then you might even want to paint each pebble different colours or patterns to create an arty eye-catching border.
If you want to edge a garden pond, you can use them to soften the edges and re-create the feel of a river or beach.
When it comes to choosing a cobble or pebble edging, you need to work out a couple of things.
First, what kind of style are you aiming for? Do you want a rustic looking border or one that is more precise and professional?
Second, is this a high-traffic area or one that’s exposed to the elements? If that’s the case, you may need stone edging that’s more robust, such as cobbles or pebbles.
Gravel
Gravel, sandwiched between pavers or larger stones, is a brilliant way to distinguish between a walkway and lawn.
This has the added benefit of creating a kind of ‘moat effect’ which is great at deterring people from trampling all over the lawn.
Finally, if you’re seeking stone garden edges ideas, you’ve come to the right place for inspiration.
