5.4.18 Edging
Where possible the design should avoid excessive use of edging treatments and utilise paths and other
hard landscape treatments to provide garden bed or lawn edging.
− Camden Council does not accept timber edging as it is not sufficiently durable.
− Brick, sandstone, concrete and steel edging are acceptable. Other quality materials that are hard-wearing,
aesthetically appealing and sustainably sourced can be considered.
− Spade-edging is the preferred treatment for around trees in lawn.
− In playgrounds, where possible a 500 millimetre buffer is be provided between an edge and the required
fall zone.
− For further information refer to CSLD.
