You have gotten lots of good advice here and I am sure all of it will work.
I would recommend that if you are using landscape timbers (approximately 4”x4” with rounded opposing sides) and installing them as a ground border that you consider using pressure treated for ground contact 4”x4” dimensional lumber.
I installed a landscape timber border a number of years ago and after about 5 years it was showing a lot of rot. The dimensional lumber is more expensive but will hold up better over time.
