Introduction

Hey there! Thanks for taking a look at my blog about lawn edging ideas! There are lots of ways you can use items you already have around the house to make your yard look great. You’ll save money and even repurpose a few things that might be headed for the trash otherwise. I hope you enjoy these ideas as much as I did. As a bonus, they’re really easy to do!

#1: Coffee Cans

Coffee cans are a great way to edge your flowerbeds, vegetable gardens and lawn. They’re also useful for edging sidewalks and driveways, but if you’re looking to create a more elegant look around the perimeter of your property then we recommend some other options listed below.

When using coffee cans for edging purposes you’ll want to empty them out first and make sure that they are clean before using them as edging material. You don’t want dirt or debris getting into your garden beds!

Coffee cans come in all shapes and sizes but most are made from metal so they won’t break easily when you hammer them into the ground with a mallet (or even just by hand).

#2: Jugs and Bottles

Jugs and bottles are a great way to show off your creativity and add some style to your home. If you’re looking for an interesting way to make a border, here’s one idea: take two or three jars of the same size, fill them with soil and plant flowers in them. Place the jars on top of each other so that their openings form a triangle shape. Then, dig up some soil underneath where you’ll position these flowerpots—about 2-3 inches should do it. You can also use this technique if you want to create a path in your garden or just want an unusual lawn edging option!

#3: Old Shoes

Another great way to add some humor and personality to your lawn edge is by using old shoes.

If you have an old pair of sneakers, flip flops, or slippers that don’t fit anymore (or are simply worn out and shabby), consider using them as edging. The look can be quite charming; if nothing else it will give passersby a chuckle. And who knows? Maybe if they see how much fun you have playing with this idea they will join in!

#4: Rocks on the Edges

Rocks can be an attractive edging solution. They’re durable, and they add a natural element to your garden. If you have a rock garden or are just looking for a way to incorporate more stone into your landscaping, then this is the perfect solution for you!

You’ll need to choose rocks appropriate for edging purposes—they should be large enough that there’s no chance of them being knocked over by a lawn mower or other object. The good news is that there are many places where you can find these stones: riverside beaches, quarries (which often have bins set up), and even old construction sites may offer up suitable candidates. Rocks used in landscaping should also be carefully chosen so that they don’t contain any potentially harmful chemicals such as lead paint or asbestos fibers (which were once commonly found in building materials). It’s important to remember that different types of rock will require different maintenance methods; some require very little care while others may need constant attention if they become mossy or overgrown with weeds or grasses

#5: Wood Logs and Stumps

• Logs and stumps are a great option for edging. They’re not just for fireplaces anymore!
• Logs can be used for a variety of edging options, including borders and dividers between your lawn and garden areas.
• You can cut these lumber products to size to fit your needs. We recommend having your logs milled before you purchase them, as this will ensure they look their best when installed in your yard.
• A fun idea is to paint the wood logs different colors so they’ll stand out from the rest of the yard or garden area where they’ll be placed. For example, if you’re using them as part of a decorative border around flower beds on either side of a walkway leading up to your home’s front door then go ahead and paint them green or blue—whatever color goes best with those flowers!

You can save money by reusing items towards your lawn.

Another way to save money is by reusing items you already own. This can be as simple as reusing your old coffee cans and plastic bottles that are lying around the house. You can also use old shoes, rocks or even logs and stumps that you find in your backyard. The great thing about these ideas is that they’re free, so there’s no reason why you shouldn’t give them a shot!
