    what is best way to remove grass

    Nothing wrong with doing it by hand if its a small area, but you still need to let the weedkiller work. Digging or rotovating alone will not kill the grass and weeds off.

    Paving sets as lawn edge / mowing strip?

    Call me Mr Organic, but Ive always found a dose of 6 inches of ROUNDUP soon solves that problem. If you put paving etc down you just have a new edge to manage. good luck
