Sharp, clean edges that define and enhance your property. Power edging along walkways, driveways, and borders.
Call for FREE EstimateLawn edging creates clean definition between grass and hardscaping—walkways, driveways, patios, and other paved surfaces. This sharp line dramatically improves overall property appearance by providing visual crispness.
Even perfectly mowed lawns look unfinished without proper edging, while mediocre lawns with excellent edges appear well-maintained and cared for. Edging is the detail work that makes or breaks professional lawn appearance.
At Greenlawn Inc, we've edged Howard County lawns since 1986. We use power edgers every visit creating consistent, straight lines that enhance curb appeal and property value.
Lawn grass naturally spreads onto walkways and driveways through rhizomes. Without edging to cut this back, hardscaping gradually narrows and becomes ragged-looking.
Properties lack visual definition between grass and paving. Everything blurs together creating messy, unfinished appearance that diminishes overall presentation.
Without clear edges, mowing becomes imprecise. Mowers scalp trying to cut grass hanging over edges, or leave strips of tall grass if operators avoid edges.
Homes with unedged lawns look less maintained regardless of other care. Sharp edges signal attention to detail that enhances perceived property value.
Sharp edges create instant visual improvement that's immediately noticeable. Properties look more manicured, maintained, and valuable. This is often cited as most visible difference between professional service and DIY efforts.
Provides visual separation between landscape elements—lawn, walkways, driveways, patios. This definition makes properties appear more organized and intentionally designed rather than haphazard.
Defined edges create clear borders for mowing, making it easier to achieve consistent results without scalping or leaving unmowed strips. This precision speeds mowing and improves quality.
Regular edging cuts back grass attempting to spread onto hardscaping. This maintains full width of walkways and driveways rather than allowing gradual narrowing as grass encroaches.
Clean edges prevent organic debris buildup that can stain or deteriorate pavement edges. Reduces maintenance needs and extends attractive appearance of hardscaping.
Power Edgers, Not String Trimmers: We use commercial power edgers with spinning blades that cut precise, straight edges. These create consistent depth and perfectly vertical cuts that string trimmers can't match.
Complete Coverage Every Visit: We edge all walkways, driveways, patios, and paved surfaces throughout your property. Complete coverage ensures entire property receives same level of detail.
Proper Cutting Depth: We create clean vertical cuts approximately 1-2 inches deep—enough to cut through grass roots without excessive depth that weakens pavement edges.
Debris Management: We blow material back onto lawn rather than leaving it on hardscaping. Properties are left with crisp borders and clean pavement ready to walk on immediately.
Our weekly mowing service includes edging every single visit. This maintains consistently sharp edges throughout the season—optimal appearance for properties where curb appeal matters.
Bi-weekly mowing also includes edging each visit. Two weeks between edging allows more grass encroachment than weekly, but maintains reasonable definition for most properties.
Properties not using our mowing can schedule standalone monthly edging. Works for homeowners who mow themselves but want professional edging quality they can't achieve with consumer equipment.
Spring and fall edging restores clean lines for active seasons without ongoing commitment. Works for rental properties, secondary homes, or minimal-maintenance landscapes.
Most Ellicott City homeowners find including edging with mowing service provides best value—you get consistent professional edges throughout the season as part of complete lawn care.
