Installing your garden border stones is easy and in most cases can be completed within one day. Border stones are used primarily to separate the grass from the garden. You can install a border level with the lawn or raised, it depends on preference.
First, using a sod cutting tool & a flat shovel, cut out a border where your stones will be sitting. Make sure all grass / sod is cut out and removed. We don’t want stray grass growing up between our stones. If your stones will be level with your lawn, dig a trench deep enough for the stones to sit. If your stones will sit above your lawn, only dig enough to remove the grass. Always level your soil with a hoe before laying the stone.
Next, lay your stones! This is as simple as setting the stones into place. Just keep stacking until the desired height is achieved. Feel free to play with the design as well just to make sure they all fit together nicely. Don’t be afraid to trim the stones with a chisel and hammer.
That’s it! Simple. Cut away the sod, dig a trench, level your soil, stack your stones.
