We all love a beautifully maintained garden, but it doesn't stay this way without blood, sweat and tears. Some of the jobs, such as trimming the edge of the lawn are time-consuming and by using an edging knife, the lawn recedes more and more, leaving a larger planting border and bare, exposed soil prone to weeds. This work can be considerably reduced by edging the lawn with a cobble sett enabling you to mow straight over the cobble edge without the need to strim or trim the lawn edge. The added benefit is it looks attractive and matches your patio, so brings the garden styling together as one. It's simply installed using the same techniques as laying paving slabs (with a sub-base and laid on a wet mortar bed), but remember to haunch the sides to ensure a tidy finish and to make sure there is still some earth under the grass edge. Natural sandstone and limestone cobble setts come in either a single size - often 100 x 100mm or a mix of lengths for more of a random appearance. They are great for creating curves and demarcating the edge of a shaped lawn. Cobble setts are also perfect to adding a feature planting bed within the lawn. Why not make this your project for the weekend! Click here to take a look at our range of cobble setts
