edgings

Lawn path borders

Edgings are decorative or functional borders along the edge of something.

In gardens, edgings define boundaries between lawn and flower beds—made of stone, brick, or metal.

In sewing, edgings are narrow trimmings like lace or ribbon that finish a hem or neckline: She added lace edgings to the pillowcases.
