Looks really good Nick - a classy job!

 

Looks great Paladin.

BTW what happened to the pics in your first post - just a row of little red crosses!

 

Good job Pal - great idea

 

Looks really good Nick

 

tidy job. and easier to mow. well done paladin

 

Nick I have just found this thread.Any chance of putting up the photos again on the first page as I missed them...Pretty please

 

More recent ones Kandy..


Just a small part of the borders I have edged..in total I used around 400 blue bricks.

 

You've done a grand job Pal It finishes it off nicely.I need a job like that doing to my grass edges,so if you have some time spare :D :D I will supply the tea and bikkies.I would ask Mr Kandy but it has taken him four years to put the conservatory up,so bricks round the lawn job would take him to retirement :(

Do take it easy though and don't overdo things.Your health is more important than a nice garden...

 

well done that looks pretty good to me

 

That looks really nice Paladin

Did you put some cement down with the bricks or just dig them in as i have loads of bricks and would quite like to do that .

 

Having been inspired by Pal's pictures of borders last year, I got 300 odd paving bricks from freecycle, not the lovely blue colour but beige, but not bad for free. I have nearly finished and am having a minor problem with the curves. Do you fill in the v-shaped gaps? :rolleyes:
It is excellent- the wheels of the mower trundle along the bricks and NO EDGING

 

Tam,I don't cement them,I just dig out the turf and use it to to ram the bricks tight from the border side.
Liz,fill em with soil and stuff in Campanula Aubretia....anything really that keeps it head down as you pass with the mower!

 

I need bricks....lots and lots of bricks I am soooooo sick of edging the lawns already and they need doing like, all the time :( This is going to be my next big project.....just need to 'acquire' a few thousand bricks first :D :D

 

Try freecycle! :D
