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!
