Hello @Bennn 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about installing garden edging.

In order to give our members a better idea of what your garden looks like, would it be possible for you to post a photo of the tree and its surrounding area. We can then make recommendations on possible brick configurations. I also suggest having a look at this discussion How to lay bricks for raised flower bed? by @Brunnie_Rich. This discussion will show you how to lay a good foundation for a brick edging. By putting a good base in, it won't tilt or sway but stay solid and straight.

In regards to your tree, it will probably depend on how close the roots are to the surface. If the roots are shallow, then you won't be able to dig into the soil. If the roots are deep, then you have space to lay the bricks into the soil.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
