A New Curved Wooden Edge
With the stone edge in place at the side of the new Stump Border, the front was in need of an edge. By the end of the day, a new curved, wooden edge was in place.
Using the metal edge that supports the lawn opposite as a reference point, and the path width of 7 feet, a line was marked for where the new edge would be. A trench was then dug along the line and the 6" x 1" tanalised wood was put in place, anchored into the ground by 10"-12" wooden stakes. Leaf mould was added to the border to raise the level and a top dressing of soil added in preparation for the turf.
