Tumbled Paving Stones as Borders and Edging

Tumbled paving stones make great borders and edging for flower beds, patios and driveways. The ones I use are relatively inexpensive and easy to get at Home Depot.

When paired with bark chips and hardy annuals such as snapdragons, kale or ivy I think you get a really strong and attractive landscape. Examples:

  1. Good Post,There are many different styles of edging that you can perform. One of the best designs that you can go for is paving edging. This is what makes the landscape attractive. It is quite important for you to install the edging perfectly so that you can avoid the disruption of the landscape appearance.
