The May Edge: Why Lawn and Garden Edging Makes a Big Difference

As May arrives and your landscape bursts into life, one of the simplest but most impactful ways to elevate your property’s appearance is by edging your lawn and garden beds. While mowing, mulching, and fertilizing are essential, professional edging provides that crisp, clean look that sets your property apart. At Lawn Harmony Landscaping, we believe that a well-defined edge is the secret to a truly polished landscape.

What Is Edging and Why Does It Matter?

Edging is the process of creating a clean, distinct boundary between your lawn and adjacent surfaces like garden beds, walkways, driveways, and patios. This is done using specialized tools to cut a narrow trench or groove, separating grass from other areas.

Benefits of Edging:

Enhanced Curb Appeal: Sharp edges create a neat, manicured look that instantly boosts your property’s visual appeal.

Weed Control: Proper edging helps prevent grass and weeds from creeping into flower beds and other landscaped areas.

Easier Maintenance: Defined borders make mowing and trimming simpler and reduce the time spent on cleanup.

Prevents Overgrowth: Keeps mulch, soil, and decorative stones in place, preventing them from spilling onto your lawn.

When and How to Edge Your Lawn

May is the ideal time to edge-the soil is soft from spring rains, and new growth is easy to shape. Here’s how the process works:

Step-by-Step Edging Guide

Mark Your Edges: Use a garden hose or string to outline the desired edge for your beds or walkways.

Choose the Right Tool: For small areas, a manual edging tool works well. For larger properties, a powered edger ensures straight, uniform lines.

Cut the Edge: Insert the tool vertically into the soil along your marked line, cutting through grass roots and soil to create a crisp boundary.

Remove Excess Sod: Pull away the strip of grass and soil to reveal a clean trench.

Maintain Regularly: Re-edge every 4–6 weeks during the growing season to maintain sharp lines.
