Draw clear lines with metal - ideas from modern to nostalgic

A border made of metal keeps pebbles at bay, creates order and acts as a stylistic device in straight or curved lines. There are decorative variants to be discovered for every garden style, which fit harmoniously into the overall picture:

  • Aluminum, zinc or steel profiles for the modern garden
  • Artfully forged cast iron elements for the nostalgic farm or country house garden
  • Corten steel profiles for a gravel bed border with wild, romantic charm

Metal guide profiles are not only suitable for external demarcation. Integrated into the gravel bed, shaped metal edges draw imaginative pictures that set decorative accents with different colored gravel fillings.

A wooden gravel bed border skilfully reflects the character of a natural garden design. Since the stone filling does not exert any significant pressure on the demarcation, you have a wide range of design options. The following ideas would like to fire your imagination:

  • Braided segments made of willow, hazelnut or bamboo with integrated ground spikes
  • Wooden palisades, practical in the Rollboard version made of pressure-treated pine
  • Mini wooden fence made of wooden poles, beautifully arranged in a wavy pattern

Borders made of natural stone compensate for the additional effort for installation with timeless elegance and almost unlimited durability. The stone edging is particularly recommended if a lawn area borders the gravel bed. Accurate mowing along the lawn edges is child's play.

If creative gardeners flirt with an inexpensive gravel bed border made of stone, old clinker bricks come into focus. Either laid in a geometrically correct form or loosened up with standing runners, a rustic border is created for which you don't have to dig deep into your pocket.
