Lawn edging

    We have a curved driveway that goes around our house, with a gravel surface. We never edged the grass and find that the gravel just migrates into the grass! So now we would like to edge it so that we can have it re-gravelled and looking neater. What can we use as edging that is not too expensive (it is quite a long drive) and that we could do ourselves (not very talented at DIY!!)? We were considering Sleepers though this might be a bit much for what we need... Thank you.

    Plenty of ideas on those links - look for something that you can hammer in to install. DIY stores sell plenty of types.

    Thanks for that, lots of good ideas. I like the wood-look though it may be a pain for mowing...

    Is the best/cheapest place to buy in a DIY store or is there better/cheaper?

    Last week I went to my local engineering works and got them to cut an 8' by 4' sheet of 3mm galvanised sheet metal into 4" strips. They have to hammered around the borders and form really nice curves. Might be an option for you. I haven't paid him yet but I reckon it will be around €50 for about 96 feet of border.
