Some types of bedding edging are easier to lay than others
Beeteinfassung - lay yourself
Bedding borders form a visually attractive demarcation between green areas and flowerbeds. At the same time, they noticeably ease the care required, as the grass no longer grows unchecked in the bed. Laying a bedding enclosure yourself is not difficult with our instructions and succeeds even inexperienced play.
Lay lawn edge stones
Whether square granite bricks or brick: A stone bed surround fits wonderfully into the overall picture of the garden and is weather-resistant. Proceed as follows:
The stones should now sit firmly and no longer wobble. For very sandy soil, it is advisable to put this in a mortar bed.
Limit curved beds
These beds loosen the garden visually and are therefore extremely popular. You can also easily provide this yourself with a bed enclosure. Particularly suitable here are stones with rounded heads that blend well with the round bed shape. Alternatively, you can divide larger stones to follow the course of the bed.
Since in this case a batter board is unsuitable as a marker, sprinkle sand or chalk along the desired shape onto the ground and lift out the ditch. Proceed as described for the straight bed frame.
Lay lawn edge stones ascending
On sloping land the terraced enclosure of the bed enclosure is recommended. For this purpose, use stones of different heights, which make small steps in succession. Soil erosion can be dealt with in a simple way.
So that the bed limit has sufficient stability, the stones need a stable foundation. They should therefore be concreted in any case. It also looks very nice if you completely make this concrete bedframe yourself.
Tips
Use a special paving hammer for laying. This does not damage the stones despite the heavy weight and ensures a stable fit of the stones in the ground.
