Lawn edges strimmed clean and tidy. Makes the difference between a mown lawn and a properly finished garden. All cuttings cleared up.
### The Finishing Touch Your Garden Needs
You can mow a lawn perfectly, but if the **edges are ragged** with grass creeping into beds and over paths, it looks half-done. Clean strimmed edges make the whole garden look **cared-for** in a way that's hard to describe but impossible to miss.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Strimmed edges make mowing easier too. Creates a clean line to mow up to, so you're not constantly trying to cut right against walls and fences.

Good to Know
> 🌱 **Time of day matters:** Early morning when grass is dry from dew works well - cuttings stick to lawn rather than scattering. Avoid midday in hot weather (you'll be knackered and so will the grass). **Combine with mowing?** I can do both in one visit if you want the full lawn service. Usually more cost-effective than two separate trips. **Edging vs strimming:** Proper edging (cutting with a spade) creates a sharp line and should be done once or twice a year. Strimming maintains that line in between. I can do either or both.
Frequently Asked Questions about Strimming edges in Dawlish
What's included in edge strimming?
I'll strim all the edges where your mower can't reach - around beds, paths, fences, walls. Makes a neat line between lawn and everything else. All cuttings get cleared up so your garden's left tidy.
Do you bring your own strimmer?
Yes - professional gear that makes quick, clean work of it. You don't need to provide anything except access to your garden.
How often should edges be strimmed?
Every 2-3 weeks during growing season if you want them looking sharp. Or monthly if you're less fussed. Some people just get it done before special occasions - whatever works for you.
Can you do it without making a mess on paths?
I'll angle the strimmer to keep cuttings on the lawn/beds rather than scattering them all over paths. What does land on hard surfaces gets swept or blown clear.
Will it damage fence posts or walls?
I'm careful around solid objects - angle the strimmer so line doesn't keep hitting them. Accidents happen occasionally but I take care to avoid damage.
