Splash guard for facade and transition from lawn to flower bed

Set the splash guard with gravel. This prevents waterlogging. Plant the bed in front and you won’t see the splash guard strip anymore

How wide do you think such a gravel strip should be?

An alternative to stones can be wooden beams. We have sunk them in

That sounds great, is there a photo of your garden somewhere and could you post one here?

The pictures are from the system. I will send you a current one this evening. The first shows the boundary to a hedge.

Bark mulch would certainly be an alternative.

No, bark mulch is child's play for the birds and disappears quite quickly.

Does anyone here have experience with alternatives to classic stones, without leaving that strip standing?

Not classic stones. Look around. I can't believe you dislike all kinds of stones, because there are hundreds of possibilities: big, small, monochrome, round, angular, multicolor, red, green, white. Slate, pebbles... Or maybe glass shards? Pottery shards? That works too.

In the bed in front of the privacy screen, I wouldn't do anything at all: everything grows into each other anyway (hopefully)

I see normal stones with you.

Hmm, I see wood... By the way, very cool idea.

Also. But there are stones on the facade. And that is the splash guard

Well, the suggestion was gravel and the bed in front of it. I don't quite understand your comments.
