Should flower bed be higher than lawn?

What is the best flower bed edging?

How do you keep borders tidy?
Whether you've dug out a new border or are tending to an existing one, it is relatively simple to keep up tidy turf edging. Every time you mow the lawn, make sure to trim the edges too. Use long handled edging shears or an electric trimmer for the easiest ways to cut the border grass without even having to bend down.
