The right edging gives your garden structure and balance. Our range helps landscaping projects look polished and clearly defines different garden areas. We offer timber path edging, pointed pegs, and log rolls, making it easy to pick a style for any garden.
Why Choose Wooden Garden Edging for Your Garden
Wooden garden edging easily improves a garden’s look without making it too formal. Timber blends naturally with lawns, paths, and other landscaping, making it a popular choice for a natural finish. Use it to create curves, straight lines, or decorative sections, depending on your garden layout. Proper edging also makes maintenance easier by separating areas, especially when trimming grass or keeping bark and stone in place.
Wooden edging is versatile. It fits small gardens with limited space and large landscapes needing definition. Timber edging feels warm and practical, suiting cottage or modern gardens. Paired with other timbers, it creates a consistent garden finish.
A Practical and Attractive Landscaping Solution
Good edging does more than improve appearance. It organises your garden and connects different areas. Whether you have a gravel path, lawn edge, play area, or border, adding timber edging creates a tidier look. This keeps timber edging popular for both DIY and professional landscapers.
With its natural look, wooden edging suits gardens that need to blend with their environment. It softens boundaries between hard and soft surfaces and frames planting without dominating it. This balance of structure and an organic appearance makes timber a strong choice.
Wooden Garden Edging Options at Walford Timber
Walford Timber offers timber path edging, pointed pegs, and log rolls to suit your project’s style and needs. Use timber path edging for clean borders, pegs for support, and log rolls for a decorative, traditional look.
This variety lets you choose wooden edging to fit your project’s scale and style. Some want a subtle finish; others prefer a feature edging. Walford Timber’s focused range makes it easy to find suitable edging for paths, borders, lawns, and planted areas.
Wooden Lawn Edging
If your project is specifically about tidying a lawn edge rather than a path or border, our timber path edging works equally well as lawn edging. It creates a clean, defined line between grass and borders, beds or gravel, stopping grass creeping into planted areas and making mowing and strimming easier. Simply install it along the lawn’s edge using pointed pegs to hold it firmly in place.
Where Wooden Edging Works Best
Wooden edging works throughout the garden. Use it to line paths, separate lawns and flower beds, define vegetable plots, and shape borders. It also finishes seating areas, bark zones, and gravel sections.
In front gardens, edging creates a more welcoming entrance and a tidier look. In back gardens, it improves appearance and function by defining outdoor areas. For family gardens, edging keeps mulch, bark, or stones contained. For decorative plantings, it simply frames the planting.

Choosing the Right Garden Edging for Your Project
The best wooden garden edging depends on your desired look and project area. For straight lines, use timber path edging. For decorative areas, choose log rolls. If stability is important, use pointed pegs to secure edging.
Consider your garden’s style. Timber works best if you want a natural material that goes with lawns, planting, and wood features. If you already have timber fencing, sleepers, raised beds, or decking, wooden edging ties the space together.
Which Wooden Edging Do I Need?
Timber path edging is best for straight lines along paths, driveways and borders, and doubles as effective lawn edging.
Log roll suits curved borders and gives a more decorative, traditional finish where a straight line is not required.
Pointed pegs are not a standalone edging product but are used to secure timber path edging firmly in the ground, and are recommended for most installations.
All our edging is pressure treated, so it is protected against rot and suitable for permanent outdoor use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between lawn edging and path edging?
They are usually the same product used in different places. Our timber path edging can be used to edge a lawn, a path, a border or a flower bed. The choice of ‘lawn edging’ or ‘path edging’ simply describes where it is being used.
What wood is best for garden edging?
Pressure treated softwood is a popular and practical choice for garden edging, since the treatment protects it against rot and decay in damp UK conditions, while remaining more affordable than hardwood.
Do I need pegs to install timber edging?
Yes, in most cases. Pointed pegs are used to hold timber path edging securely in the ground, keeping it straight and stable once installed.
What is log roll edging used for?
Log roll is typically used to create curved or informal borders around flower beds and planted areas, offering a more traditional, decorative finish than straight timber edging.
Is your wooden edging pressure treated?
Yes. Our timber path edging is pressure treated softwood, which extends its outdoor lifespan compared to untreated timber.
How do I install wooden edging?
Dig a shallow trench along the line you want to edge, position the timber edging upright, and secure it in place using pointed pegs driven in behind it at regular intervals.
What sizes of edging do you stock?
We stock timber path edging in two sizes, 22mm x 75mm and 22mm x 100mm, so you can choose the depth that best suits your project.
