Step 1
Borders around your flower garden make your flower garden more decorative and allow for a raised garden bed.You can either paint the bricks to make the border more decorative or leave the border a natural brick color.Below I will explain 1 way to make a decorative flower garden edging.

Step 2
The tools you need are a small garden shovel and the same kind and size bricks.The first step is to clear everything away from around your flower garden so you can make your flower garden edging.The first layer of bricks lay on the ground around the garden,you might need to level out the ground before and or during when the first layer of bricks go together.This layer has to be flat and level.

Step 3
After the first layer of bricks is put together.the next step is to put dirt behind the first layer of bricks even with the top of the first layer of bricks,you may need to pack the dirt down alittle so the second layer of bricks does not angle or fall down.You may also need to put more dirt as needed or you may need to take some dirt away as the border is being made.Then the second layer of bricks overlap and lays on the first layer of bricks about an inch on the back of the first layer of bricks and lays on the dirt you put in the back of the first layer of bricks.On the second and third layer of bricks,as they get put together stagger them too,as in the bricks laying half on 1 brick and the other half on the brick next to it and so on.

Step 4
Then you put dirt in the back of the second layer of brick,you may need to pack the dirt down so the third layer of bricks does not angle or fall down.Then you put the third layer of bricks on the second layer overlapping on the back of the second layer about an inch onto the dirt you put behind the second layer of bricks.then fill in within the area between the border with more dirt,soil,mulch.Now you have a decorative flower garden edging.
