Gardening with Stone

border for small herb garden

19 years ago

We have a beautiful new stamped concrete patio, and would like to add a 2' wide herb garden around the edge - about 10x20'. We don't want just a bed, but a boxed look. Can't find an edging that isn't too wide (like 8") for the 2' bed, and wood rots over time. Ideas? Thanks

Do you have a picture of the stamped concrete patio, we are thinking of doing this process on a covered area in front of our house.
We are in CA. if that makes a difference.
Don't want anything that is slippery when wet.
Do you like the look, and is it easy to walk on. Thanks
