@M33R4@GardenerSuze is right. Those angles will make it more difficult to mow. I would have sweeping curves instead. Easier to mow and more pleasing on the eye.
@M33R4 I feel I must just mention this... Will you struggle to mow your lawn with all the angles?
It was worse before @GardenerSuze and @rossdriscoll13 - the mower was missing lots of areas around the raised and curved flower beds. Hence I created straighter lines this time to give the mower more of a chance (if only I had a mower that did close edge to edge cutting that would be bliss). I will also use an edging tool as the area is not particularly large.
It's not so much the angles - it's the height of the edging that'll create the problem. My front lawn is straight lines and angles, but the edging is lower to allow for that. It'll be very difficult to get a mower right to the edge of the grass, unless the soil level is going to be increased a fair bit. 4 - 6 inches or so. The grass/turf should be slightly higher than the edging, so that you can run the mower wheels over/along the edge without scalping the grass. Too high and you can't get near the edges, too low and you catch the edges of the grass, and have to hold the mower up to avoid that. If the base of the grass/turf is roughly the same level as the edge, that's usually about right.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Thought I'd update you on the Turf journey of my garden.
It was perhaps the best time of the year to lay it as it's been cool and wet, and within 2 days of laying it, when I lifted some sods, the rooting system was well underway
Day after I laid the turf:
8 days after I laid the turf and we had a break in the rain:
I've avoided walking on it. My old dog Jack has become a pooing machine since this new turf though
I'll give it another week before running a high mower over it.
