Lawn Edging Guide
There are two types of edging in lawn maintenance: the edging between the lawn and hardscaped surfaces, like sidewalks and patios, and the edging that separates the lawn from garden beds and planted areas. Although edging may seem a purely ornamental practice, it actually serves an important purpose.
Edging Issues
A lack of edging between the grass and garden beds is most likely to cause issues. Lawn grasses, which are hard to eradicate, will invade the garden bed, where they can choke out flowers and other ornamental plants.
