Lawn Edging
How do you make those flowers bloom where they are planted and not
go overboard and how do you make your turf stick to its own turf and
not edge into your flower beds, borders, and garden spaces? Lawn
edging is the answer!
Edging bricks, lawn timbers, and treated wood edging , molded plastic
edging and heavy duty plastic strips are all ways to wall in your
flowers and keep weeds out of your garden and the other landscaped
areas of your yard. In addition to curbing your weed problem, lawn
edging also keeps mulch and decorative landscape treatments in place.
Brick edging remains a favorite method of lawn edging. Now available
in many colors and pattern variations, it is an attractive, durable,
and easy way to cut back on lawn chores.
If you want to dig deep into your weed problem, pressure treated wood
edging or plastic strip edging is the way to go. Because these types
of edgers are usually easier to bury deeper than bricks, molded
plastic edgers (decorative), or wood timbers, they provide more
resistance to types of invasive weeds that send out underground
runners.
Of course, you can always put the action into lawn edging by trimming
your lawn with an edging tool. Lawn edgers are sold in various types
from spade shaped implements to those that look like saw blades on
wheels. In addition to muscle powered diggers and walk-behind rolling
edgers (which also take a fair amount of muscle in a dry summer!),
there are many electric and gas powered appliances. Some weed trimmers
also have special lawn edging attachments that keep you from chopping
the shrubbery off with the weeds!
With all the variety in today’s modern edging tools, appliances, and
edging embellishments, it’s easy to make your manicured yard a
picture of perfection right up to the very edge of it!
