Garden Edging Stones – a Versatile Choice

Garden edging stones can help to create a neat and organised garden. Bringing definition to pathways, borders, and lawns, edging stones also serve a functional purpose like preventing soil from spilling onto walkways and containing mulch or gravel from flower beds.

London Stone offers a wide variety of natural stone garden edging stones that are both decorative and practical, available to complement the sandstone and granite in our natural stone paving range.

An excellent choice for both DIY enthusiasts and professional landscapers looking to create beautiful, well-defined outdoor spaces, London Stone’s garden edging stones are available in different styles and materials to suit various garden designs, from contemporary to traditional. If your design calls for the sleek, modern aesthetics of our sawn (smooth) stone edging, there’s plenty of options, which are manufactured with a slick double pencil rounded edge along one long side of the edging. More traditional, rustic-looking edging stones which are finished with a chiselled ‘rockfaced’ finish along one long edge, can be found across our riven sandstone products.

FAQ’s

Are the edging stones durable?

Yes, London Stone’s edging stones are made from high-quality natural stones like sandstone and granite, ensuring long-lasting durability.

Should I pre-seal my Edging Stones?

We recommend pre-sealing our sawn edging stones prior to laying them, as it helps with ongoing maintenance. When natural stones are machine-sawn to make them smooth, the pores of the stone are opened, making them more absorbent and liable to marking and staining. Pre-sealing smooth or lighter materials makes them a lot easier to clean. Find out more about sealing sawn stone.

London Stone offer a pre-sealing service. This gives you peace of mind that the materials have been sealed under controlled conditions, by professionals, enabling swift laying and no delays on-site. Discover more about our sealing service.
