How To Resolve Uneven Lawn Edges
Some gardens will have lawn edges that are ragged or uneven. The best way to resolve uneven lawn edges is to use a sharp spade or a half-moon edging iron. This will recut your lawn edges back into shape. If you want really straight edges, we recommend using a short plank of wood as a cutting guide. However, if you’d prefer wavy lines for your lawn edging then a hosepipe is the perfect cutting guide.
If your lawn sits on sandy soil you may need to recut the edging annually as this can crumble away. Alternatively, why not use lawn edging stones to help keep your lawn edge in place, while adding to the look and appeal of the garden?

The issue with broken lawn edges is that they make the lawn and garden look untidy. However, they also make mowing and edging more difficult too. If broken lawn edges are common in your garden there are some easy repair solutions that can improve the look of your lawn and make the mowing process easier too. You’ll need a sharp spade to cut out the turf that has the broken edge. Undercut the lawn and replace it with sieved garden soil or potting compost, then re-level and re-seed with fresh grass seed.
For extra support to keep your repaired lawn edges in place, why not opt for some grey stone effect lawn edging. The grey colour of the lawn edging stones will really pop against the fresh green grass and the crisp edges of your lawn will look great against the soft grey edging stones.
