We set edging deep enough to stop bluegrass runners from creeping into native beds.
Edges double as irrigation boundaries, so spray stays on turf and drip stays in beds.
Materials are chosen to hold gravel and mulch in place through Peyton wind.
Material and length set the price. Steel is priced by the foot and lasts for many years in the ground. Poured curbing costs a little more but shrugs off mower wheels along busy lawn edges. We can mix both in one yard.
Bluegrass spreads underground, and the edge has to reach below its roots. Shallow plastic edging never does, which is why so many builder beds fill with grass within a couple of years.
A clear edge lets us set spray heads that water the lawn without drenching native beds. Overspray on natives causes rot and invites weeds, so this line matters more than most people think.
Setting edges slightly above the top dressing keeps stone and bark from drifting into lawns and walks during wind and storms.
Edging pairs with gravel paths and converted beds. See our Peyton xeriscaping services for more.
We walk the yard and mark every transition between lawn, beds, gravel, and walks.
Crews trench, set and anchor the edging, and adjust sprinkler heads along the new line.
Beds and lawn are dressed up to the edge, and we check that spray stays on the turf side.
