Lawn edging in Sidmouth

Edging is one of those jobs that makes a disproportionate difference. Neat edges make even a scruffy lawn look intentional. Overgrown edges make even a well-kept lawn look neglected. It's the difference between "someone cares for this garden" and "nobody's touched this in months."

### Why Bother With Edging?

Over time, grass creeps into borders, paths get narrower, and boundaries get fuzzy. Edging cuts it back to where it should be, creating clean lines. Takes 20 minutes but makes your garden look like you've spent all day on it.

It's also practical - keeps grass out of flower beds where it competes with your plants, stops paths disappearing under lawn, and makes mowing easier because you've got clear boundaries.

### How We Do It

We use a half-moon edger (traditional but effective) or a powered edger depending on the job. Cut vertically down along the border, remove the excess strip of turf and soil, clean it all up. Edges are crisp, lawn's defined, garden looks transformed.

### Done Right vs Done Wrong

| Done Right ✅ | Done Wrong ❌ | |--------------|---------------| | Clean vertical cut with defined line | Ragged, uneven edges | | All excess turf and soil removed | Strips of grass left lying around | | Consistent depth and width | Some bits deep, some bits shallow | | Follows natural curve of border | Wonky lines that look wrong |

> 💡 **Pro tip:** Edge after you've mowed, not before. The mower wheels running near the edge can crumble freshly cut edges. Do it after and they stay crisp.
