There are several reasons why garden edging is important yang why you need to have them in your garden.
Separating your Lawn and Garden.
Your garden design might consist of combination of lawn, flower bed and other beautiful garden plant. Each of them will occupy some area of your garden. Throughout time these plants will grow and their own pace, some plant will grow much faster than the other, un-organized plant will become such an eyesore.
By having an edging install and act as a border you could easily differentiate the area and have a very distinctive look between them. Plus, your garden will look much tidier when surrounded by beautiful garden edging.
Protect your garden
From the example earlier, when your garden is adjacent to your lawn, there is possibility of damaging your beautiful flower bed while mowing your lawn. Thus edging will act as border between two areas (your garden and the lawn) that will not only make your mowing activity easier, but also protecting your other garden plant (flower for example) from being mowed together with the grass.
Another point note, the edging can prevent stoloniferous grass to grow into your flower bed soil. This could create area competition between your flowers and the intruding grass that might ruin the health and subsequently the beautiful look of the flowers.
