Are you sure you're not a professional? That's got a proper showroom finish to it, great job!
I have a similar set up and I have blackbirds pecking at the bark and chucking it onto the grass 🙁 I think I will replace it with gravel soon
lawns looking mint there
Great job smashing it.
Great work mate. What type of wood did you use ?
wow. what a difference that border has made. looking forward to seeing what you have planned for the upper part of the garden. keep up the good work 👍🏻
I'm trying to do my big back garden, on my own so watching your videos is helping me get ideas
Thanks
Can u please share the wood dimension u used?
Great videos mate!
Looks great.
will the stake rot soon ?
Looks really good. 👏🏼
Hi Mate can you let me know the wood materials you used? Thanks job looks great
Quality work bud and real easy to watch video. keep pushing
What type of timber have you used for direct ground contact?
Amazing work!
How are the boards holding up are the rotting or doing ok?
So the wood is going to break down over time right
Silly question but what stops the lawn edging from rotting from water? are they always treated before you buy them?
Wow nice job
Thanks!
Don’t see the point of putting bark down to be honest, should have gone up to the sleepers with the turf if your not gonna plant anything🤔
Gravel near lawn (step) never a good idea esp for mowing.
Would have put the lawn edging in first before laying the lawn, that’s just me.
Just eating the dinner Rob sure that video was better than any news broadcast, ive a lawn renovation booked in myself next week im looking forward to doing it hope all good 👍
what wood did you use and dimensions?
Hello from Dublin, great job man, looks really well 👍👍
Looks class! What size was the wood you used for the stakes mate? Attempting a similar border myself.
I knocked my pegs into the ground and every one went in at a different angle. The entire length of the boarding looks wonky. I've pulled it up. it looks crap.
That’s Steven Gerrard narrating this video, and there’s nothing you can say to change my mind.
Very nice. What I would encourage people to do, though, is give the wood some extra protection with a creosote substitute or similar. Even pre treated wood will rot quickly in a border. Easy to replace, I suppose.
Not protecting the wood? It will rot soon
What measurements are the panels & posts?
Good job.
Helpful video, thank you. The weedmat/membrane is a bad idea long term though. Bad for soil health and doesn't do your plants any favours.
Sorry for the dumb question but what is the tool you are using to create the holes for the posts? Is it a small jackhammer tool?
