Paula’s Tips for Choosing Low Maintenance Garden Edging

Introduction

Planning a new garden? You might be looking for a low maintenance garden edging. We’ve all heard about the benefits of low maintenance gardening, and there’s no doubt that it is easier than traditional gardening. But if you’re going to put in time and effort, you might as well get the most out of your work! With this in mind, here are my tips for choosing low maintenance garden edging:

Visibility

Visibility is the next factor to consider. You’ll want to make sure that your edging is visible from all of the places where you and your family are likely to spend time looking at it. This includes the front door, driveway and street (if you have one) as well as any other areas where people might be coming and going from your home. The best way to ensure visibility is by choosing a material that contrasts with its surroundings so it stands out:

Trees are often planted along property lines, so if your edging has a similar color scheme as the hedge or tree line around it then they won’t stand out at all!
Metal fences can become hidden in taller grasses when they aren’t maintained properly (and even sometimes when they are). In these cases it may be difficult for visitors or passersby to notice anything amiss until they get closer.
Concrete walls don’t blend into their surroundings very well either; if there’s no landscaping around them then they’re going

Location

The location of your garden is where you start to design, and that’s why it’s important to know your site well. The same goes for choosing edging: if you’re lucky enough to have an expansive lawn or even a large section of land, then you can really let yourself go wild with your choice of materials and placement. But if space is limited or if there are lots of other factors involved (like children or pets), then this part will become more challenging.

The first thing to consider before picking out any garden edging is where exactly you want it. Are there shrubs in the way? Is there a nice patch of grass that needs defining? Is there another feature (like a tree) that might complement a specific type of edging?

Maintenance

Maintenance is the most important thing to remember with any type of garden edging, especially if you have a smaller space. There’s nothing worse than having your beautiful low maintenance garden edging become overgrown and unkempt because you don’t have time to maintain it.

Maintenance is also the most important factor when choosing which type of low maintenance garden edging to use in your own yard or on your business property. It’s essential to know what kind of upkeep will be required for each type before making a decision about which one would work best for you. In this blog post we will discuss some popular options that are easy-to-maintain as well as some options that may require more work but look amazing when they’re done right!
