Lawn Edging
Garden border edging provides the perfect finishing touch to your garden design. It also eliminates the need for constant lawn edge trimming and reduces weed transfer - the gardener's dream!
We stock many types of lawn edging here at Primrose. Decorative garden edging is held in the earth but sits above ground. It's perfect for providing a stylish border around flower beds. Ground supporting edging sits in the ground. It's more functional and is ideal for marking out clean, crisp lines between different heights of ground, like soil and grass.
Lawn Edging FAQs
What does lawn edging do?
If you struggle to keep the edges of your grass tidy or stop the soil crumbling away then lawn edging is the perfect solution. Edging is usually pinned to the borders of the lawn to give a secure side and crisp boundary.
Many of the varieties are flexible, available as lawn edging strips as well as lawn edging rolls, so can follow a curved edge as well as straight. All it takes is a bit of cutting to clear the area, and then you can pin your edging into place.
