Trimming and edging
Trimming and edging are two different jobs and a good-looking lawn needs both. Trimming cuts the grass the mower cannot reach. Edging cuts a clean vertical line where the lawn meets your driveway, sidewalk, and beds. I do both as part of the regular visit.
What's included
-
Trimming String trimmer around fences, posts, trees, mailboxes, play sets, and anywhere else the mower deck cannot go.
-
Edging A defined line along driveways, sidewalks, and bed borders. This is the detail people notice from the street.
-
Cleanup Trimmings and edging debris get blown off the hard surfaces, not left in a line down your sidewalk.
Trimming vs. edging, in one paragraph
Trimming is horizontal: it evens up the grass against obstacles at the same height as the rest of the lawn. Edging is vertical: it slices a crisp boundary where turf meets concrete so the grass does not creep over the pavement. A yard that is mowed but not edged always looks slightly unfinished, and edging is usually the difference people cannot put their finger on.
How often it happens
Trimming happens every visit. Edges get re-cut as often as they need to hold a clean line, which in the fast months is most visits and in slower months is less. You are not paying me to run an edger along a line that has not moved.
Questions people ask
What is the difference between trimming and edging?
Trimming cuts grass the mower cannot reach, level with the rest of the lawn. Edging cuts a vertical line where the lawn meets pavement or beds. Trimming keeps things even; edging keeps the borders sharp.
Is edging included with mowing?
Yes. Trimming and edging are part of the normal visit, not an upsell.
Will you edge around my flower beds?
Yes. Bed borders get the same treatment as the driveway and sidewalk lines.
