Using bricks for the edging is a very common idea and it can make mowing the lawn much easier.

Of course there are creative twists you can apply to the traditional style.

Stone is commonly used, especially as it's long lasting and hard wearing.

Using rocks and pebbles achieves a natural, textured look.

Wood is another popular choice, as it's a natural material it can blend in with the garden seamlessly.

Sleepers make for lovely edges, especially to raised beds.

Varying the height, colours and texture all makes for intriguing designs.

Depending on the size of your garden and ultimately your budget, you might want opt to purchase decorative edging.

Metal edging can be purchased or crafted from recycled pieces.

Edging doesn't always have to be between a bed and the lawn, edging a flower bed next to a path helps to blend the lines in the garden.

Using plants to do this is very effective and, if you preplan and propagate your own plants, can be cheap too!

Not only that but it will help to reduce weeding by filling up the space where you would usually find weeds creeping in. An absolute winner if you ask me!

Upcycling is all the rage these days and garden edging has not escaped the creative and resourceful geniuses. You can use pretty much anything to edge a garden bed. Plates and bottles are becoming very popular in recycled garden design.

But the creativity doesn't stop there!

Whether you love the simplicity of a neatly cut edge, the stability of sleeper or the quirkiness of an upcycled design. What ever your preference there is certainly an idea to suit your garden and budget.

I hope we've inspired you to transform your garden edges!
