No, there's no need - lay your turn flush against the edge of the patio so that you can run your mower straight over the edge - a metal/plastic/wood lawn edge with only look untidy and you run the risk of catching it with the mower.
Some tips here
"For a flush finish to a patio/path, the topsoil should be laid to the same height as the patio/path because it is likely to sink slightly and turf is of minimal dept."
I have now finished pulling out all the big stuff and am awaiting my weedkiller to be delivered to kill off the existing weed and lawn. I think my biggest challenge will be the stones that created the old path, there are loads and loads. The membrane that was under the stone has degraded and there are just bits left.
Has anyone got suggestions on how to removed the vast quantity of stones?
It's going to be a job for a skip. You did mention that you planned to construct some raised beds. Depending on the depth of them you may want to keep some of the rubble to reduce the amount of soil you're going to need.
I am holding some back for the raised borders. my question was really about the best way to remove the stones from the garden as in lifting them. I have a skip coming next weekend.
Had another productive weekend clearing, removed all the growth from the back of the garden, and spend two hours demolishing a rockery.
Here are some more pics.
The pile of rockery boulders are available if anyone wants them.

If I go down this route should I use some lawn edge between the patio and lawn?
Something like this

Hope that's helpful.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Thanks Dove. I am planning to get all the prep done so I can seed in September.
That sounds like a plan!
Watch those weed seeds blowing in on the summer breezes!

Traditional occupation for children http://shropshire.gov.uk/acton-scott/schools-programme-at-acton-scott/living-history-(ks1-and-ks2)/the-victorian-child-at-school-and-work-(ks2)/ - mind you, you'd probably have to pay them nowadays, or at least bribe them

Have you got a plan to use the stones or are you just dumping them?
Just dumping them
