Timber edging isn’t a path material in itself but plays an important role in shaping and containing loose surfaces. Used with gravel, bark, or mulch, timber defines edges, improves structure, and limits spillage into lawns or garden beds.

H4-treated timber is commonly used for ground contact in New Zealand. It can be fixed with pegs, stakes, or concealed brackets for a neat finish. Regular maintenance like resealing or replacing warped sections may be needed over time.

Timber also works visually with other materials. It adds warmth to gravel paths or contrasts nicely with concrete. Recycled sleepers or boardwalk-style planks can also double as the path surface in some settings.

Avoid using untreated timber or placing edging where drainage is poor. Rot and warping can be problems if water collects or timber sits directly in soil.

Use timber edging to create clean lines, contain softer materials, and support a layered garden design that’s easy to maintain.
