About this product
A stone look border that goes in by hand, one piece at a time.
Interlocking 24 cm sections in recycled PP with an imitation stone face. Buy only the number of pieces your bed needs.
A different approach from the continuous strip: short interlocking sections, each 24 cm, that you push into the ground one after another.
The face is moulded to look like set stone, so it reads as a built border rather than as edging, at a fraction of the weight and cost.
Because each piece is short, it follows tight curves and circles that a continuous strip fights against. Tree rings are the obvious use.
It is made from recycled PP, so it will not rot, rust or need treating, and the colour runs through the material rather than sitting on the surface.
Sold per piece with no minimum, so you buy the number your bed actually needs.
Most garden edging is sold as a continuous strip because that is the cheapest way to cover distance. It is not always the easiest way to cover a shape.
A tree ring is the clearest example. A one metre radius circle asks a rigid strip to bend into a curve it does not want to hold, and asks you to peg it every few centimetres to keep it there. Short interlocking pieces just follow the circle.
The stone effect is the other reason people choose it. A real stone or brick border means digging a footing and laying it. This gives a similar visual weight at the edge of a bed for the price of a few pieces of plastic and an afternoon.
Being recycled PP, it deals with everything a garden throws at it: damp, frost, and the fact that nobody ever comes back to maintain it. The colour is through the material, so a scuff does not reveal a different colour underneath.
The honest limitation is length. For a twenty metre run along a lawn, the continuous plastic kit is both cheaper and quicker to install. This product earns its place on short, shaped, visible borders.

24 cm, and they interlock end to end so you can build a run of any length.
How many pieces do I need?
Measure the run in centimetres and divide by 24, rounding up. For a circle, multiply the diameter by 3.14 first. A one metre diameter tree ring needs about 14 pieces.
Is there a minimum order?
No. Buy the number of pieces the bed actually needs.
What is it made from?
Recycled PP, which is polypropylene. It is a durable outdoor plastic that will not rot, rust or need treating.
Is the stone effect painted on?
No, the colour runs through the material. A scuff does not reveal a different colour underneath, which is the usual failure of painted imitation stone.
Can it follow a curve?
That is its main advantage. Because each piece is short, the interlock takes the angle between pieces, so it follows tight curves and circles that a continuous strip fights against.
How do I install it?
Push each piece into the ground along your marked line, interlocking it into the previous one. In firm ground, cut a shallow slot with a spade first rather than forcing the pieces in.
Do I need spikes or pegs?
No. The pieces are held by the ground they are pushed into and by the interlock with their neighbours. Firm the soil against both faces when you finish.
Will it survive frost?
Yes. PP is unaffected by freeze and thaw. Frost can lift any shallow installation, so push the pieces in properly and check the run each spring.
Can I mow over it?
No. This is a raised, visible border rather than a flush mowing edge. If you want to mow straight over the edging, choose the flexible plastic kit or a steel strip.
How tall does it stand?
It is a slim, low profile border. It marks and holds the edge of a bed rather than retaining a significant depth of material.
Can it hold back mulch?
A shallow layer, yes. For a deep mulch bed or a gravel area, a deeper faced steel or the 10 cm plastic strip does the retaining work better.
What colour is it?
Grey, with a moulded stone texture. It reads as a set stone border from normal viewing distance.
Is it heavy?
No, roughly 0.2 kg a piece. That is the point: you get the look of a stone border without the weight, the footing or the delivery cost of actual stone.
Can I take it up and move it?
Yes, easily. Lift the pieces out and re lay them. It is the most re usable product in the range, which suits a garden that is still changing.
Will it stop grass getting into the bed?
It marks and holds the edge, but a shallow decorative border is not the same barrier as a deep continuous strip. If grass invasion is the main problem you are solving, choose the flexible plastic kit or steel.
Can I use it for a vegetable bed?
Yes. PP is a stable outdoor plastic and it is used widely in horticulture.
Does it work on a slope?
On a gentle slope, yes, stepping down with the ground. On a steep slope the interlock between pieces starts to gap and a continuous strip does better.
How long will it last?
Many years outdoors. Like all plastics it will fade slowly in strong sun, and the grey stone finish hides that better than a black strip does.
Can I mix it with your other edging?
Yes, and it is a sensible way to buy. Use the continuous kit for the long straight runs and these pieces for the tree rings and tight curves in the same garden.
Is it recyclable?
PP is widely recycled and this product is made from recycled material to start with.
What if a piece arrives cracked?
Tell us with your order number and a photograph and we will replace it. Faulty and damaged goods rights apply to everything we sell and we cover the return postage.
Can I return it if I order too many?
Yes. This is sold per piece rather than cut to length, so it carries the full right to change your mind, which we extend to 15 days from delivery. Pieces need to come back in resaleable condition.
How much is delivery?
Free across Europe on orders of €60 or more, and a flat €22 below that. Orders are handled in 24 to 48 hours and then take 5 to 7 days.
Do the pieces come apart once installed?
Not in normal use. The interlock plus firmed soil on both faces holds them. A mower wheel driven into the run will dislodge a piece, which then pushes straight back in.
Can I cut a piece to fit?
You can trim one with a saw to close a run, though in practice most people adjust the spacing slightly across the last few pieces instead.
Is it safe around children?
There are no sharp edges, which is a real advantage over thin steel edging in a garden that gets played in.
Will it fade?
Slowly, in strong sun, as all outdoor plastics do. The grey stone finish disguises it far better than a solid colour would.
Can it edge a gravel path?
For a decorative path edge, yes. Where gravel is deep and pushing constantly against the border, steel is the more suitable choice.
Do you sell a matching corner or end piece?
No, the sections are all identical and the interlock handles the angles. There is nothing extra to buy.
The complete guide
Using per piece bed borders
4 min readLawn Edge Europe
Working out how many pieces
Each piece covers 24 cm of run once interlocked. Measure the line the border will follow, in centimetres, and divide by 24. Round up.
For a circle, measure the diameter and multiply by 3.14 to get the circumference, then divide by 24. A one metre diameter tree ring needs about 14 pieces.
Order a couple spare. It is a small cost against having to place a second order for two pieces.
Putting it in
Mark the line with a hose or sand first.
Work along the line pushing each piece into the ground and interlocking it into the previous one as you go. In firm ground, cut a shallow slot with a spade first rather than forcing the pieces, which is how they get damaged.
On a curve, let the interlock take the angle between pieces rather than trying to bend an individual section. That is what the short length is for.
Firm the soil against both faces when you have finished the run.
Where it works best
Tree rings, small circular beds, tight curves around a feature, and short borders where the edge is visible and you want it to look built rather than functional.
Raised beds too: the stone face gives a visual base to a bed that sits above the lawn.
Where to use something else
A long straight run along a lawn. Twenty metres of this is a lot of pieces and a lot of individual placements, and the continuous plastic kit does the same job faster and cheaper. Use each product where it is strongest and there is no reason not to mix them in one garden.

Stone Effect Bed Border (pick code garden-bed-border-per-piece grey) sold by Lawn Edge Europe at
lawnedge.eu.com. Interlocking garden bed border sections in recycled PP polypropylene with a
moulded imitation stone face, grey, 24 cm per piece, sold per piece at EUR 4 with no minimum
order. Pieces push into the ground and interlock with each other to build a run of any length.
Because each section is short it follows tight curves, circles and tree rings that a continuous
strip resists, which is its main advantage over the flexible plastic edging kit. The slim profile
takes up little space in a planted bed and the colour runs through the material rather than being
painted on, so scuffs do not show. It will not rot or rust. Honest limitation: on long straight
runs the continuous per metre plastic kit is both cheaper and faster to install, so this product
suits short, shaped and visible borders, raised beds and tree rings. Sold per piece rather than
cut to length, so it carries the full 14 day right of withdrawal, extended to 15 days. Delivery
Europe wide, free over EUR 60 and otherwise EUR 22, in 5 to 7 days after 24 to 48 hours handling.
