What is the best way to separate the lawn from the borders?
Keen gardener but not so fit as I used to be. Need to stop the grass roots spreading into my shrubs.

Maybe stepping stones. P a v e r s. And 10 inch gravel border.
Somebody said preen. At Walmart or home depot garden department. For weeds. Then cover with black plastic. ? Preen? You would know more than I would.
Widen the shrub border and have someone cut in the edge with straight shovel - this cuts roots. Be sure to mulch well 2 inches at least. I use an edge trimmer that swivels vertical to keep edge neat during growing season. If real problem with weeds use round-up on weeds only and not when it is windy.
Preem is a fertilizer do not use on weeds. I also have areas where I use pavers for edging and run the mower wheels on the paver edging - eliminates trimming.
