DIY BRICK GARDEN EDGING
3 Materials

Repurposing leftover brick into lovely garden edging has never been easier. Find
out how to complete this weekend project!
Apparently, I like structure, and this flower bed seemed to be spilling out onto
the lawn. Lucky for me, old patio bricks were stacked onto a pallet in the
backyard and were waiting to be used. The project of creating the brick garden
edging took a weekend, but I wasn’t working full days. Here’s what you’ll need
to complete the project.
Bricks (how many depends on how long of an edge you’re creating)
Flat Head Shovel or a Square Garden Spade with a long handle
Sand
Level
Landscape fabric or newspaper (optional)
Garden Kneeler (for the the sake of your knees, ha!)
1. First, determine where you want the edging to go, and using the corner of
your shovel, create a line along the outermost edge of where the bricks will
be placed. We initially marked our line with the shovel, and then went back
over the line with the weed eater to make it even more prominent. This will
allow you to get a good idea of the shape of your edging before you start
digging and laying down the brick.
2.Once your line is completed, use your flat shovel or garden spade and begin
digging a trench from the line you created and in toward your bed or garden. I
knew I’d be using a brick lengthwise and then another brick widthwise for our
brick garden border, so I measured the brick length and width and used this
measurement to know how far in to dig. Only dig a few feet of edge at a time.
This will give you a chance to work with and place the bricks and determine if
you like how the edging is laying.

3.Once you have dug the trench and it is the appropriate depth and width for the
bricks, place a thin layer of sand in the bottom of the trench. (You could also
add newspaper or landscape fabric beneath the sand to prevent weeds and grass
from popping up.)Then begin laying your bricks. We chose to have an inner edge
of bricks on their side with bricks running lengthwise coming off of those. You
could choose to have a single row of bricks to make things more simple. Have a
small garden spade handy to ensure small pockets of soil aren’t causing your
bricks to be uneven. A level is also a great way to ensure your bricks are even.
With yards and soil, unevenness is to be expected to a degree, but it helps to
get as close as you can.
4.Once your entire edge has been laid, go back and tweak any bricks that aren’t
in line with the others. Then you’ll take the leftover sand, and begin filling
in the cracks between the bricks. This will help to smother out any weeds/grass
that will try to creep up between them. A paver sand or regular sand can be
used. Once the cracks are filled with sand, use a broom to sweep away the
excess.
Then stand back and enjoy your new brick garden edging! We went on to create a
brick path from the patio to our garden area as well. There are so many uses for
leftover brick!

Moss just adds to the natural affect, people purchase moss for that look.

I like the look of moss also botanically..
I’ve seen a lot of brick borders but your idea I really like, especially how
you put one up as a soil stay and then the rest down ornamentally..bravo!!
