I previously purchased some landscaping blocks that I intended to use for another project that I didn't end up using. I have about 50 landscaping blocks. I then shifted my focus to using these blocks as a mini-retaining wall (one block high) for my landscape edging. However, I've been told by several people this would be a nightmare to keep up (weed eating, block shifting, ect). The blocks in the photos were laid down quickly just to give a visual aid. They are not mean to be in there final position. I'm looking for an elegant, cost-efficient landscape edging option for the front of my home. The landscaping must come out around the A frame as you can see in the pictures. Primary objective is to look nice and age well. I don't want to pull up landscape timbers every 2 years due to the wood rotting and don't mind spending more to prevent that from happening. I would like to somehow tie the landscape edging into the step design and the other rock retaining wall. This may require more concrete at the bottom step to make the path longer. What are y'alls thoughts on this? Should I use the block I currently have or would something else be a better option? Any idea on how to tie this in with the steps and other retaining wall so it looks nice. Any creative minds with illustrations or example pictures would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
