Edging is more than just aesthetics; it's about creating defined lines where different surfaces meet, such as between grass and walkways. This not only enhances the visual appeal of your lawn but also maintains plant health by preventing grass from encroaching on flower beds. At CM and Sons, we believe in the transformative power of a well-edged lawn and we’re here to share our approach.
Understanding the tools and techniques is crucial in perfecting lawn edges. At CM and Sons, our professional landscapers use a combination of manual and powered tools tailored to each lawn's unique needs. Manual tools such as half-moon edgers are ideal for precision work in smaller or irregularly shaped areas. For larger expanses, powered edgers can quickly and efficiently create clean lines without compromising quality.
Our edging process starts with an assessment of your lawn’s layout. Every yard has its own personality, and the edging must enhance rather than fight against it. We begin by clearly marking the boundary lines and planning the path the edges will take. This planning phase is critical to ensure that the final result looks intentional and complements the existing landscape.
Once the layout is confirmed, the edging begins in earnest. It's important to maintain a straight path, consistently moving along the marked lines to avoid uneven cuts. The depth of the edge is also key; we aim for a clean cut that is deep enough to act as a barrier, preventing grass from growing into unwanted areas without disturbing the soil structure.
Moreover, maintaining sharp tools is a practice we prioritize. Sharp blades not only make the process more efficient but also produce cleaner cuts, which promote better grass health. Regular maintenance extends the life of the tools and ensures the quality of the work remains top-notch.
But the art of edging doesn’t stop at cutting the grass. Post-edging cleanup is just as vital. Removing debris and redistributing displaced soil give your lawn a clean and polished look. At CM and Sons, we also take it a step further by offering additional care tips to our clients, emphasizing the importance of regular maintenance to preserve that freshly edged appearance.
And here's a little secret from the experts—consistency. Regular edging not only maintains the aesthetic appeal but also aids in the overall health of your lawn by minimizing overgrowth and ensuring nutrient balance.
