Default Using bricks to create an edging between flower bed and lawn.

very very true. my mother did this. we inherited her gardens, pulled up all the
bricks and simply run an electric edger along the beds a couple times a season.
to preserve the "look" of a wider edging I would put plastic or thick layer of
newspaper and put mulch on top. Ingrid

If you feel you MUSt have a lawn, bricks will not keep the grass out.
that makes no difference if they are placed width or length ways.
