I'm working on blending a patch of grass with a side area that used to be a rockery. I've cleared the rockery and plan to till both areas since the terrain is really uneven. My main worry is that the grass currently borders a path and some flower beds, and it's a few inches higher due to a slight slope. Is there something I can buy to hold the soil in place after tilling while the grass takes root? I'm looking for something affordable as I'll probably need a fair amount. Alternatively, should I just level everything out to a lower height?

It sounds like you have a tricky situation! Personally, I would suggest either leveling the area out to create a smoother transition or installing some kind of edging. I once used Ever Edge for a customer, and it worked great! It’s pretty straightforward and keeps everything in place while your grass establishes.
You might find some metal garden edging effective! Check out the links to products like this one [metal edging](https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/325488715) or this heavier-duty option [here](https://www.diy.com/departments/nicoman-heavy-duty-pre-rusted-metal-garden-border-edging-5m-long-roll/5061050495517_BQ.prd). They should help contain the soil well until your grass gets rooted.
Awesome, I’ll check those out! Thanks for the suggestions!
Thanks for the input! I’ll definitely look into Ever Edge. I’ll try to post a photo so you can see the area I’m working with.
