Please pardon the poor pictures & mess, I haven’t trimmed the grass since last year.
Our house is raised from the street, we have a nice area for flowers which my wife loves.
We do have a problem separating the grass from the garden.
4 years ago I put down some Home Depot concrete bricks. Worked pretty good for 3 years then started to fall apart. See pictures. Amateur job and no saving the old concrete bricks now.
I’d like some suggestions that:
Would look decent
Amateur with minimal patience can handle
Tough enough to withstand the trimmer without getting damaged.
I’m okay with digging down a bit to level the area. Wife prefers stone or something that appears to be stone. Something that can stay on a hill with about a 60 degree incline. Needs to be affordable, doesn’t need to be super cheap but I’d like to keep the whole project under a few hundred. We have about 30 feet of area to cover.
