Lawn edging advice

Hello everyone,

I moved into my house in North London 3 years ago and have regretfully allowed the garden to get wildly out of control since then. I have finally gotten around to getting some proper work put into it in the form of replacing the lawn and a few other structural changes along with a general clear out.

I am replacing a rectangular area of 20m sq of lawn and would like to edge the area to reduce the amount of maintenance and to maintain the shape. There will also be a 5-8m length which borders a graveled area so the edging should help keep the stones out of the lawn. I have been told by several gardeners that quoted for the job that Everedge was my best bet. Although I am fine with paying for quality any saving would be good. My question is, is this really my best option ?

 

I do what Loofah does as well, and Im sure you still have to cut anything growing over it

I am using wooden gravel boards from B&Q to edge the gravel in my garden to keep it off the path and thus off the lawn.

I recently installed galvanised metal lawn edging, looks really smart and the polished finish gives it an architectural look, only been down 3 months so can't comment on the durability but it seems to be holding up fine so far.
