How can I hide the black plastic edging along my new stone pathway? Looking for cheap, permanent ideas.

Hi everyone,

I recently finished installing this stone pathway (photo attached), and overall I’m really happy with how it turned out. The only thing bothering me now is the black plastic landscape edging that’s holding the gravel in place. It’s more visible than I expected, especially from certain angles.

I’m looking for ideas to make it look more natural and finished without spending a ton of money.

A few things I’m looking for:

● Budget-friendly (I’m trying to avoid expensive metal edging, stone borders, or large trees/shrubs.)

● Permanent or long-lasting solution.

● Low maintenance if possible.

● Open to either small plants/ground cover or some kind of short decorative border/fence.

● The pathway gets good sun for most of the day.

Has anyone dealt with this before? I’d love to see pictures if you’ve done something similar, or hear what worked well (or what you’d avoid).

Thanks in advance!
