border where paved path meets lawn

[scubabob]

i am going to pave the path which is currently 6" below lawn level - it was orginally filled with pine bark but it has now all but gone.

What is best to use as a boder to seperate the pavers from the lawn or do i reall need one?. When paved, the path will be the same height as the lawn

I prefer the pavers as the border. To introduce another material between the pavers and the lawn makes it too busy.
Just cement a header row in.

Lay a header course of pavers as a border. Cement under the outside edge to stop any movement.

Large Pavers..,....I mean LARGE!!

Like 500mm x 500mm, 600mm x 600mm, or LARGER

Then there is no need for anything else;
let the grass grow up to and around them.

OR if they are Hexagnal or Octagonal,
then you could butt them so that when you walk, it's

Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right.............

Size and spacing has to be pretty Spot on though

As long as the path is below the grass level marginally, it will make for easier mowing. If you have a raised section to the edge of your path it will make it more work for you to mow the grass or use a brushcutter to get right to the edge.

Or, you could have your raised edge but have another flat border along your lawn border so you run your mower wheel along it.
