One of the secrets to having a beautiful garden is to have beautiful borders very clean.

Why ? Because borders structure your garden.

Without forgetting that it is an original way of customize your exterior.

The problem is, we can't all afford a landscaper! Not to mention the pharaonic cost of certain materials ...

Fortunately, we have selected some great garden borders easy to do and especially who won't cost you an arm!

You can choose the ideal border according to your region, your garden layout and above all, your budget.

So, are you ready? Here we go for the 11 awesome easy and inexpensive garden edging to make. Look :

1. Use decorative gabions

I love this idea, especially for gardens that have raised beds. Gabions are sturdy wire racks like these that are filled with large stones. You can choose the size of the stones depending on what is available in your area.

2. Use wooden planks

The advantage of this idea is that it is extremely easy to achieve. Just use wooden planks about 15 cm long. And if needed, you can easily increase the height of the border to suit your flower bed.

3. Use stones

For those who prefer a more natural style, stones are a great edging choice. The idea is simple to achieve, but plan a few big arms to help you carry the stones and place them in the right place! For this type of edging, it is best to choose stones that are roughly the same size.

4. Use terracotta

For this elegant border, use scraps of terracotta. This material resembles brick, but with a smoother finish.

5. Use tree branches

If you live in a wooded area, collect tree branches and create a one-of-a-kind border. That's a great old fashioned natural edging idea, don't you think?

6. Make a raised bed

With a raised bed, you create more space for your plants. And at the same time, you also create a beautiful border for your garden :-)

7. Use metal blades

Flexible metal blades are one of the cheapest garden edging. In addition, they bend easily and take little time to install. Thus, you can create a very own boundary around a flower bed, a tree or to delimit your land.

8. Use gravel

Another not very complicated and inexpensive idea. Just dig a small ditch around your plantings and fill it with gravel.

9. Use bricks

With simple bricks, you can create this elegant border. And you don't even need mortar or a bricklayer!

10. Use plants

You can also use plants to demarcate your flowerbeds. Tall grass is perfect for making a beautiful natural border.

11. Recycle old wheels

You can find old wheels in flea markets and garage sales. Use some wire to assemble them and voila! Your flower bed will have the most amazing border in the neighborhood :-)
