Reunakivetykset

Reunakivetykset, a Finnish term, refers to decorative stone arrangements or edgings commonly found in gardens and landscaping. These features serve both aesthetic and practical purposes. Visually, reunakivetykset define spaces, create visual separation between different garden areas like flower beds and pathways, and add a natural, textured element to the overall design. They can be made from a variety of stones, including natural rocks, pebbles, or manufactured concrete blocks, chosen to complement the style of the surrounding environment.

Practically, reunakivetykset help to contain mulch, soil, and gravel within designated areas, preventing them from spreading into pathways or lawns. They can also aid in drainage, directing water away from sensitive plants. The installation of reunakivetykset requires careful planning to ensure stability and a neat appearance. They are typically laid on a prepared base of sand or gravel and can be mortared together for increased permanence or set loosely for a more informal look. The specific type of stone and its arrangement can significantly impact the overall aesthetic, ranging from rustic and natural to modern and precise.
