Garden Edging

If it is repeated enough it will sink in: keep it simple. Edging, trimming and the rest of the detail work in a yard is the greatest consumer of time.

On one property the work of keeping the grass out of the garden took over 40 hours. To install the edging over two years brought the time down to 3 hours. There have been at least 5 years that have gone by; the savings at $30.00 an hour is $5,500.00.

Not only are the small jobs time consumers, they are hardest on the body. Trimmers and blowers (yes we must use them) are hard on the ears. Constant re-edging of the gardens involves bending.

Concrete edging also helps to retain moisture. Turning the soil destroys the wicking effect of it, opens it up to the sun and the wind and makes any mulch disappear faster by speeding its compost rate. The plants love it.

If you are aging (that means you), if you own a cottage or if you just do not have the time then you owe it to yourself to edge, get it done with the company that has the edge on edging.

Some examples

River Run	Great for erosion control at slope or eave run off.
Hidden	Grass meets garden with a clean, easily maintained AND hidden edge. Beautiful.

One of the easiest to maintain. Only have to mow the lawn, trimming and edge control is minimal.	Flush Concrete
Used Barn Timbers	Customer could not waste. Just had to use. We had a lot of fun jig sawing them together.
