Plants are a natural choice for walkway edging and borders. They are great whether the curving line of a finely trimmed boxwood leads to a spectacular sea view or the soft edge of hostas on a walkway to a poolside terrace. Indeed, a garden without walkway borders is like a dwelling without baseboards—it is unfinished.
Don’t undervalue the role of plants used as borders in defining an outdoor space and creating a lovely walkway through your backyard. Many gardeners have traditionally used brick or stone borders to help keep flowers in their beds. However, you may have a much softer look that appeals more to an aesthetic by utilizing an evergreen shrub.
