A well maintained lawn is not only mowed, but also has strong, clean, distinct edges around all the paths, sidewalks, borders, gardens and anywhere there is a transition. Transformations Landscaping generally performs lawn edging in the early spring for our landscaping clients, to provide a full season of great looking lawns and adding definition, form and a clean look to the grounds.
Untidy lawn edges created from grass growing onto surrounding borders is easily corrected using this lawn edging process. A pair of lawn-edging shears works great for cutting away any long protruding grasses that encroach onto the borders. Long-handled shears are great lawn edging tools that allow you to get the edges done, without having to bend over.
If you have a large area to edge, there are many powered line trimmers with rotating heads that can be used. For a power edger to be effective, they should have a roller or similar guide to help cut the edges in the right place. These tools are great for creating tidy lawn edges quickly.
Another great lawn edging tool is the sharp edge of a spade or, better still, a half-moon edging iron which lets you create or re-shape wonderful wavy edges.
If lawn edging isn’t something you want to undertake yourself, give Transformations Landscaping Ltd. a call at 604-316-7792 or visit our website: http://transformationslandscaping.com
