Invisible edges

Powder-coated aluminium or corten steel gives a crisp 4–6mm line that separates lawn from surface without announcing itself. Best for contemporary, planting-led gardens.

Stated edges

Granite setts, block courses or a porcelain soldier course draw a deliberate frame. Suited to formal frontages and traditional properties.
