Border Edging in Dawlish

### Why Border Edging Matters

Because blurred lines between lawn and border make gardens look messy and create extra maintenance. Grass creeps into borders, border plants flop onto lawn, mowing becomes awkward, and everything looks vaguely unkempt.

Clean border edges transform garden appearance instantly. They make everything look intentional and maintained, simplify mowing and trimming, and prevent grass invading borders where it competes with plants and harbours weeds.

### What We Offer

**Edge Cutting:** We cut clean lines between lawn and border using a half-moon edger or spade, removing grass and creating a neat vertical edge. This looks brilliant immediately but needs redoing every year or two as grass grows back.

**Edging Installation:** We install physical edging - metal strips, plastic barriers, or timber boards - that prevents grass encroachment permanently. Higher upfront cost, but you're done for years rather than months.

We can also supply and install decorative edging like brick, stone, or wooden edges if you want a feature border rather than just definition.

### The Difference It Makes

Clean border edges make your garden look professionally maintained even if you do nothing else. The lines frame your lawn, define beds, guide the eye, and create structure. It's one of the highest impact/lowest cost improvements you can make.

> 💡 **Pro tip:** Edge borders in spring before grass grows vigorously. Edges cut in summer need more frequent maintenance as grass recovers quickly. Autumn edging lasts well through winter into the following season.

### Done Right vs Done Wrong

| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Done Wrong | |--------------|---------------| | Clean vertical edge, consistent depth | Ragged, uneven, variable depth | | Smooth curves, straight lines as appropriate | Wobbly, inconsistent lines | | Physical edging flush with soil surface | Edging proud that catches mower | | Grass and soil removed cleanly | Scraped into border or left on lawn |
