EDGING
Edging is an essential step in giving your lawn a finished and manicured look. Those
neighbor's lawns that we all love to admire nearly always display definable
barriers between yard, walkways and flower or garden beds. Bed "edging" can
be permanent, decorative and economical using natural stones or logs or
invisible using such methods as plastic, aluminum or even wood strips. Plastic
edging can be effortlessly installed around a planting bed bordering grass using
a power edger to first dig a trench in which to insert the product. Not only
will defining that border result in a visually pleasing improvement in your
lawn, it will maximize weed control by preventing weeds from sending out
runners, poking their heads through, and keep your mulch where intended in those
planting beds. It also is easiest to maintain as with other methods power weed
trimming is usually necessary later. The power edger also will cut existing
runners as it is used. Another
important technique for that "manicured" effect is making a clean cut around
the perimeter of your yard against sidewalks and curbs.
Edging can be accomplished
with various methods from a basic shovel to electric and gas powered edgers. If
you use power equipment it is important to remove rocks and debris first and
ALWAYS wear safety equipment including goggles.
