Stone pavers are often used for patios, but you also can use them to create a border between your lawn and a garden or other type of landscaping. They yield a distinctive look that's difficult to replicate with other materials, and they make it easy to create a clearly defined, sharply-edged bed in your lawn. Before using them, though, it's important to understand that they create a wider border than steel or plastic edging material. If you have flowers or other plants that tend to spread out of the bed, stone pavers can give them some room without infringing on the grass plants in the lawn. They also work well in yards with slopes, as they are adaptable to various angles.
Stone pavers also are a good choice when you want gradual curves in the edging or a perfectly straight edge. If you would like a bit of extra stability in the border layout, look for pavers that have rounded edges that slide together, slightly interlocking. However, most of them are heavy enough that they won't slide around if installed correctly by digging a trench. Just keep in mind they don't work as well for creating a border with tight curves — digging a trench and pouring cement is the best way to edge your tightly curved lawn.
Stone pavers are available in a few different configurations, primarily natural stone, brick, and concrete. Natural stone pavers are a popular selection for lawn edging, as they have a density and strength that works well in a yard. They will absorb some moisture, but they are not as porous as some of the other options. This makes them ideal edgers as they can withstand constant exposure to weather, precipitation, and damp soil. Limestone is a common natural stone paver used for lawn edgers because of its strength and durability.
