Garden Edging

What This Service Involves

In our mild, moisture-rich climate, turf and spreading plants like ivy and creeping buttercup invade beds faster than most homeowners expect. Clean edging creates a defined barrier that holds mulch in place during heavy winter downpours and gives beds a finished, professional line. We offer natural spade-cut trenches, steel, stone, and composite options suited to Western Washington drainage and freeze-thaw cycles. Each edge is set to channel runoff appropriately so beds stay tidy year-round.

Benefits

Stops grass and groundcover from invading planting areas; Keeps bark mulch from washing onto walkways during storms; Creates a clean, defined line that sharpens overall landscape appearance; Reduces string-trimming and hand-weeding along bed borders; Offered in materials that withstand PNW wet-dry cycles

Our Process

1) Mark bed lines and confirm edging material with you; 2) Cut and excavate a clean trench along the border; 3) Set edging to proper depth and grade for drainage; 4) Backfill, compact, and refresh adjoining mulch

What Affects the Cost

Linear footage of edging to be installed; Material choice such as spade-cut, steel, or stone; Curves and intricate bed shapes versus straight runs; Soil conditions and root obstructions; Removal of existing failed edging

Best Time of Year

Ideal in spring or fall when the ground is soft enough to cut cleanly yet firm enough to hold a sharp edge through the rainy season.
