Take your lawn care to the next level

It’s Spring, and we have been spending a lot of time working in the yard. (so the reason for a few outdoor blog posts here) Neighbors stop to ask what we do to make our lawn look so good, one secret is edging…

Edging your lawn is an easy and effective way to do so. Edging your lawn involves creating a clean and distinct line between your lawn and any adjacent surfaces such as walkways, driveways, or flower beds. In this blog post, we’ll explore the benefits of edging your lawn and provide tips and tricks to help you achieve a perfectly edged lawn.

1. Improves curb appeal Edging your lawn can drastically improve the appearance of your property, adding to its curb appeal. A neatly edged lawn creates a polished look that will make your property stand out in your neighborhood. It also makes your property look well-maintained and cared for, which can increase your home’s value.
2. Defines your lawn’s borders Edging your lawn helps to define your lawn’s borders, creating a clear separation between your lawn and any adjacent surfaces. This can help prevent grass from encroaching onto your driveway or walkway and prevent weeds from creeping into your lawn.
3. Makes lawn maintenance easier Edging your lawn can make lawn maintenance easier by creating a clear separation between your lawn and any adjacent surfaces. This makes it easier to mow your lawn without worrying about cutting into your flower beds or other landscaping features.
4. Provides a professional look A well-edged lawn provides a professional and polished look to your property. It shows that you take pride in your home and take care of it regularly.

Now that we’ve discussed the benefits of edging your lawn, here are some tips and tricks to help you achieve a perfectly edged lawn.

1. Choose the right edging tool There are many different types of edging tools available, such as manual or electric edgers, rotary edgers, and even gas-powered edgers. Choose the right tool based on the size and complexity of your lawn and your level of comfort with using the tool.
2. Be consistent Consistency is key when edging your lawn. Try to create a uniform edge around your entire lawn, keeping the same distance from the edge of your lawn throughout the entire process.
3. Maintain your edging Regular maintenance is important to keep your edges looking sharp and well-defined. Use a weed trimmer or edger to maintain the edge between mowings, and re-edge your lawn as needed to keep it looking fresh.

Edging your lawn is a simple yet effective way to take your lawn care to the next level. It provides many benefits, such as improving curb appeal, defining your lawn’s borders, making lawn maintenance easier, and providing a professional look. By following these tips and tricks, you can achieve a perfectly edged lawn that will make your property stand out
