What kind of gravel do you use for edging?

Gravel paths are a versatile and popular landscaping feature. Despite requiring a bit of edging to keep the pebbles in place, these paths are relatively easy to install in cold-weather climates because the gravel only needs to be buried a few inches below surface level. Traditional edging such as galvanized steel, pressure-treated wood, cedar, or bricks is often used; however, edging with plastic or cobblestones is an increasingly popular choice among homeowners. Whether you choose grey edging for a traditional single sided path or vibrant colors for an edgier look, edging your gravel path will not only add definition and flair to the outdoor space but also provide winter protection ensuring that no freezing and thawing can heave and crack the surface.

Using gravel for edging is an effective way to add definition to your garden and landscaping project. It provides a subtle contrast in colour while also creating an elegant border that can be used around anything from paving stones, grass, to established plant beds. Gravel's colour options range from grey to white and even have coloured plastic edging like Bradstone to match the new or existing features of your garden. Depending on how often the area will be walked on, edgings are available in different sizes from small chippings to larger stones. With different shapes, textures and styles, you're sure to find the perfect edging material for any outdoor paving project.

What is best for Edging a lawn?

Adding edging to a landscaping project adds a finishing touch, subtly separating and framing the lawn from a garden bed. With a variety of edging materials available to choose from, steel, aluminum, or plastic offer the simplest and most refined look. Steel and aluminum in particular provide an almost seamless edging solution as they blend nearly imperceptibly against the grass and garden bed when safety grey or black is chosen for painting - it's often difficult for even an experienced eye to separate them at first glance. Those looking for an edging that’s more visible than technical edging can opt for the chunky Bradstone edgings which come in limestone or granite options.
