Consider Landscaping Maintenance
A well landscaped yard is great to look at, but have you ever wondered about the upkeep? Choosing the right type of edging can reduce the amount of maintenance your yard will require, giving you more time to enjoy your beautiful outdoor space.
When you finish your landscaping project, the end result is always amazing. The flower beds are bursting with colour, the grass is neat and trimmed, and the shrubs pop against a beautiful dark mulch. However, maintaining that perfect final product often comes with a few challenges.
Keeping Material in Place
Grass has a bad habit of finding its way into your flower beds, while mulch and rocks used as bedding material often end up scattered in the grass surrounding the bed. Whether it’s getting down on your hands and knees and pulling pesky grass out from between shrubs and flowers, or picking up rocks and mulch prior to trimming and cutting the grass, your yard has slowly become high maintenance
Consider Edging Options
Using the right type of edging to divide the different spaces in your yard can help reduce the effort required to keep your beautiful yard looking great. Concrete edging provides an effective barrier that can stop or reduce the ability of grass to grow under or over the edging and into your flower beds. It also provides enough height and structure to keep the bedding material in place during regular yard
maintenance and everyday use. Not to mention concrete edging won’t deteriorate with wear and tear and require replacing itself down the road.
While a yard will always require some maintenance, we don’t want the upkeep to become overwhelming. By choosing quality materials in the first place, it can help keep your landscaping looking great for years to come with very little effort. We all know that yards are meant to be enjoyed not laboured over!
Thank you very much for reading! Enjoy the beautiful Edmonton summer and soak up that sun! Take care.
