i am installing blue/ black slate from nustone. The way the slabs work out mean that they fall 150mm short to the grass. I dont want a long series of cuts so as i see it i have 2 options.

1. gravel strip between grass annd slate
2. install cobbles of some sort that will also act as an edgeing.

you guys have any other ideas?

If i go for the cobbles do you have any suggestions?

thanks in advance

Backfill with soil and sow 6 weeks time you'll never know the difference.
