Hi all, 

Struggling how to create something between grass and pebbles no idea what to Put between them and could do with some expert advice I  have attached a picture.  If you could help that would be great. Finding it difficult to ccut grass and not mess up with the stones.
Thanks

    Your pic hasn't shown @thomo_d24. If you can edit it down to a smaller size that usually helps. Around 1MB or smaller is ideal  :)

    Have you thought of using an edging - brick, timber, concrete etc, depending on your budget etc. It's fairly easy to do, depending on the size of the space and your DIY skills. There's also plastic and metal edging which can be shaped if it's a curved space.  :)

    Perhaps you could go all round the edge with a half moon cutter, then trim with edging shears. Then use a mower as usual? I don't know if that would be suitable for you, but it's how I cut our lawn up to the path.

    Half moon cutter can you post a pic. I need something between the edges so brick might be great shout or plastic metal edging. Any recommendations

    Ah, sorry, my mistake. I was meaning a tool for cutting the edge of the grass, not something to fill the space between the grass and the path. If you Google half moon edging spade you will see what it is .

    Any builders merchant will have a variety of bricks. I don't know where people get the plastic or metal edging though, but I expect a quick Google search will bring those up, and you can always ask on here again if you're unsure of suppliers' reliability  :)

    The fancy metal edging is this stuff

    It's pricey though, so it depends on your budget  :)
