Border les parterres de fleurs. Il existe de multiples façon de délimiter et d'embellir les parterres de fleurs. [...] Si vous aimez la pierre, évitez de choisir des pierres à bords tranchants. Dressées en bordure, elles pourraient blesser les enfants ou toute autre personne chutant sur la bordure. On peut aussi créer une bordure plate en alignant à plat des pierres, des briques ou tout autre matériau d'extérieur. Ce genre de bordure facilite le passage de la tondeuse puisque l'on peut rouler dessus pour couper la pelouse.
