Talkback: How to prepare ground for a new lawn
Am preparing ground for a new lawn. It will be bricked edged. What level should the ground be in relation to the bricks to make it easy for maintaining good neat lawn edges?
What is the best method for getting and keeping edges neat? I don't get on well with strimmers - I seem to use endless amounts of flex with poor results!

Brick edged lawns are generally level with the lawn so that you can mow straight over the edge without damaging the lawn mower blade. If the lawn edge is tight up against the brick you only get a little bit of grass over the edge of it. Use shears to tidy any stray blade of grass. The tighter the lawn edge to the brick the better.
