Good use of old brick

We created 2 quarter round beds in the front garden last year that needed some edging to be a bit more formal to the old rose garden. I had some collected old brick that fit the bill of making something new fit an older space. Also, because of the differences between the bricks, the finished product lends itself to my VERY AVERAGE masonry skills!

I installed full brick for the curb (vertical) and half brick for the gutter(horizontal). The curb holds back the dirt of the bed while the gutter serves as a mowing edge where the wheels of a mower can cut grass without using an edger or weedeater for a clean look.
