Ultimate DIY garden edging that will last forever
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video, I demonstrate how to build a block wall that acts as garden bed edging using basic tools and readily available materials.
This process will work for any concrete blocks and some stone block walls. If you're looking for garden edging ideas, you definitely want to check this out.
The blocks I'm using in this video are the Rumblestone series by Pavestone. These are available at most big box home improvement stores.

Building a stone or block wall around your garden is a great way to add curb appeal to your home, divide your landscape, and create effective borders or edging.
However, most homeowners make mistakes when using blocks for garden bed edging.
In this video, I walk you step-by-step through this process so you can build a garden retaining wall that looks great and lasts a lifetime without warping or tipping over.
The process I demonstrate is best used for concrete landscaping blocks but can also be used for brick as well.
You can use this process to build a retaining wall-raised garden bed or just for garden bed edging even when not retaining soil. You can build this wall up to three feet tall.
First, you start off with a four-inch layer of packed gravel for a base. Make sure that it is perfectly level because that is the foundation of your garden wall.
Then, begin laying the blocks on the first row and leveling each as you go. This is a time-consuming process, but it's important so slow.
Once the first layer of concrete stone blocks is installed, the rest of the project is easy. Add the second layer, making sure to stagger the seams. Once you have the second layer fit, remove it and apply construction adhesive to secure the blocks together.
Then, repeat this process for as high as you want. Installing a level string tied between two stakes is a great way to help you dig to the appropriate depth, maintain a straight wall, and guide other aspects of the project.
To cut the stone, use a hammer and a mason chisel, as I demonstrate in the video.

As someone who has nailed thousands of hours straight of edging without failure, this tutorial best describes how to master the ancient technique.

Even though the cost of materials is from about 3 years ago, $500 is exactly around what I was thinking. I’ve been wanting to do this for so long and might just have to give it a go!
