Those edges all have the same size so there's no drama! A much better look could have been acheived by using larger forms. They don't have to be boring though!

We're ...So true about the mowing and trimming. We're removing grass a little at a time in the backyard, starting with the areas around the young trees and shrubs. But I need to figure out how to keep the grass from coming under the fence from the neighbor's yard, so we've left a strip of grass by the fence. Our backyard is currently a nightmare to mow and edge, thanks to all these extra beds and strips of lawn . . . but someday it will be simple with just a bit of lawn in the middle. And a wide enough stone path to get the mower to the lawn!VWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17539135776275337661noreply@blogger.com
