How to use lawn and garden edging stones

• Lawn edging stones aren’t just for gardens and flower beds, they’re great for pathways too.
• It’s simple to lay bricks for garden edging, only requiring a base of concrete and minimal tools.

How to lay bricks for garden edging

While there are several ways to lay garden edging, we would recommend fixing the stones onto a concrete bed. This gives the edging a strong foundation, preventing them from coming loose over time.

To do this, you’ll first need to create that solid concrete base. Start by excavating the area where you want to lay your garden edging, digging a small trench that runs the length of your lawn, path or patio. Then mix your mortar and apply a thick layer onto the trench. You can now sit your edging stones onto the mortar, before it dries. 

Next, settle the edging stones into the mortar. Do so with a rubber mallet, gently tapping them into the base until they’re evenly laid. When you’re satisfied with how the garden edging is settled, finish the process by raking border soil up to the edging stones. Leave them for a few days until the mortar solidifies. Job done!
