My garden is too big to maintain either of these options, unfortunately, so my beds are edged with rock that 'grows' freely on my property.

Given your design, I am guessing your boxwoods will stay small. It's nice to have help. We have hired various people over the years for different projects, but most of the work and maintenance is by hubby and me.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605500993437899334.post-9007296356151056502011-04-22T10:39:06.232-07:002011-04-22T10:39:06.232-07:00I like your bed edging and the clean lines.

Here where the grass of choice is centipede, the yardpeople dig a little trench. I have raggy edges since I AM the yardperson and there are too many little trenches to maintain.Jean Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000315400392984647noreply@blogger.com
