Lawn edging is the technique of creating a crisp, clean edge where the lawn borders other plants or other surfaces. Edging is an important way to improve the outward appearance of your lawn.
When edging around curbs, driveways and sidewalks, the process includes trimming grass and removing weeds or excess debris.
Edging around flowerbeds, mulch beds, gardens and shrubbery not only helps with the overall appearance, but is an important part of maintaining the health of those other plants. Edging can help keep soil or mulch from washing away and can help keep plant roots from growing outside the bed.
