Lawn edges trimmed crisp and clean where grass meets borders, paths, or drives. Quick way to make your whole garden look more cared-for, even if the lawn's not perfect.
### Edges Make the Difference
Ever notice how **professionally maintained gardens have that crisp edge** between lawn and borders? That's not by accident - it's regular edging.
Your lawn might be mowed but if the edges are scruffy, grass creeping into beds, ragged line along the path - it looks untidy. Sharp edges transform the appearance without much effort.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Proper edges make mowing easier too. Crisp line means you're not trying to mow into bed edges and borders aren't constantly encroaching onto your lawn.

What to Expect
### Step 1: Assess the Edges Check how overgrown they are and whether they need proper re-cutting or just a tidy trim. Sometimes the line's moved over time and needs reestablishing. ### Step 2: Trim Them Clean Work around the lawn edges with half-moon edger or strimmer, creating clean definition. If grass has really invaded beds, cut it back to where it should be. ### Step 3: Clear the Mess All the clippings and debris removed. Edges left looking crisp and garden tidy. Makes a surprising difference.

Good to Know
> 🌱 **Timing:** Best done when grass is actively growing but not waterlogged. Wet soil makes a mess and you compact the edges. Dry hard soil is difficult to cut through. **Regular edging:** Once you've got nice crisp edges, maintaining them is much easier than recovering scruffy ones. Little and often keeps them looking good. **Bed edges:** Proper edging stops bed mulch washing onto the lawn and lawn grass creeping into beds. Saves you weeding time in the long run. **Combined services:** If you're having lawn mowing done regularly, adding edge trimming costs less than a separate visit. Ask about combined pricing. **Exeter's Devon banks:** If you've got steep edges or that classic Devon bank, edging's trickier than flat lawns. Might need hand shears or careful strimmer work rather than traditional edger. I'll use whatever method suits your garden.
Frequently Asked Questions about Lawn edging in Exmouth
What exactly is lawn edging?
Trimming where the grass meets your borders, paths, or driveway. Creates that crisp line that makes a lawn look professionally maintained. Without it, grass creeps into beds and edges look scruffy even if the lawn itself is mowed.
How do you do the edging?
Half-moon edger for proper definition or strimmer for quicker tidy-up, depending what your edges need. If they're really overgrown, might need to cut back and redefine the line properly. I'll advise what yours need.
How often should lawn edges be trimmed?
Every few weeks through growing season if you want them really crisp. Once a month is fine for most gardens. Or just when they start looking scruffy - it's not a rigid schedule, it's about keeping the garden looking tidy.
Will you take the grass clippings away?
Yes, all cleared and removed. Edgings create quite a bit of debris that's a pain to clear up yourself. Part of the service is leaving it tidy.
Can you do edging when you mow the lawn?
Absolutely - makes sense to do both together. Most people who have regular mowing get the edges done at the same time. More efficient and keeps everything looking neat.
