Thank you so much for your past help and quick response. I now need to know the least expensive item and ease of use for a boarder separating mulch and my driveway. I have a bad back and really need the easiest way. Thank you in advance.

Hello. You can purchase cheaper plastic edging from a home improvement store. I have a lot of field stones in my yard that I used as boarders too.
I agree with the plastic rolls of edging. It should last for several years.
I used white rocks gathered from local streams or the gravel quarry.
There's a rubber edging that comes in four foot lengths, and all you need to do is lay it on the ground, stake it in place with supplied pegs into pre-drilled holes. You don't have to dig to put it in place. It's flexible, so you can bend it to follow the contours of your garden and driveway. I've used it to make an oval island garden, and it even stays neatly in place when the mower wheels bump it.
I've seen various colors and patterns on the Home Depot website, and at Costco, Lowes and Amazon. Just look up rubber garden edging. I think it was Home Depot that had it available in large quantities if you have a long driveway. (I'm frugal and went for the plain black, which was the cheapest at the time! It's been down for three or four years now, and still looks fine.)
