The Project
After having had a new garden shed and decking installed in opposite
sides of his garden, Dean had encountered a small problem. How to
get from one to the other without getting covered in mud? Since this
winter was especially wet, there was a point where it was almost
impossible to avoid being covered in mud getting across to the shed.
Thus began the search for a suitable path across his garden from one
new wooden structure to the other.
The Search to Delivery
Dean started off as all of us do when we
have an idea, jump straight onto Google to
find the best way to get the job done without
breaking the bank or your back.
After a quick search there were a few
options to consider; using paving stones as
more of a stepping stone approach to get
you over the mud, a more drastic measure
of replacing the turf with artificial grass to rid
of the mud, or using our GeoBorder lawn
edging, by digging up the grass and mud

then filling with gravel, creating a more permeable surface where no water will settle and where
no mud can store and splash up your clean clothes.
As you can probably guess, Dean chose our GeoBorder lawn edging and plastic nails to create
a defined path. All that was left to do was to order from our website, wait for the delivery and
buy some gravel from his local hardware store.
The Work
The biggest issue for Dean was waiting for a dry day to get the
majority of the project done, digging up the path was by far the
largest part of the job due to the volume of soil which had to be
removed from the garden and disposed of.
Once the outline of the path has been dug out and soil disposed of,
a sheet of membrane is rolled out and applied to the area. The
membrane is rolled out a small amount at a time and as it is rolled
the GeoBorder lawn edging strips are installed, holding the sheet in
place. Slowly working down the garden one edging piece at a time
meant there would be no loose membrane.
Finally the bags of gravel are emptied into the path, with the edging
ensuring no gravel can escape onto the grass and when stepped
on the ground is solid and can't become unsteady underfoot.

Conclusion
Dean is incredibly impressed with the result of his pathway project
and how well the edging has performed. There has been no spillage
or migration of the gravel, meaning no stones in the lawn mower
and less path maintainance. In fact, it has performed so well Dean
and his Father-in-Law will be ordering more edging from us in the
near future.
