At The Snow Down Landscaping, we know you care about your yard, and we want to help you keep your landscape looking great. Our team offers a wide range of services to help you do that, and one of the most effective is garden edging. In this article, we will go over a few key benefits of garden edging services to show you how this simple change can make a major difference in your property’s curb appeal.
- Preventing Erosion – One of the benefits of garden edging is that it helps prevent soil erosion. If your lawn or garden beds have been slowly but steadily losing soil, then we encourage you to have garden edging installed to keep the soil in place. Adding a barrier around your garden areas will help you hold on to your soil so that you don’t have to replace it with new material.
- Preventing Encroachment – Another benefit of garden edging is the way it helps prevent groundcover plants from encroaching into areas where they are not supposed to be. For example, it helps prevent your lawn grass from growing into your flowerbed areas. Conversely, edging can also help keep spreading plants, such as mint, from crowding out other plants.
- Increasing Mulch Effectiveness – A third benefit of garden edging is how it can make your mulch more effective. Adding edging around your garden beds will help the mulch remain in place, so it can better serve its function of retaining moisture and protecting your plants’ roots. If you want to get the best results from your mulch, we encourage you to use garden edging as well.
