The edging process creates a clean, crisp border between your lawn and beds, and walkways. It’s the number one tool in your landscaper’s toolbox for creating that super-straight manicured look. Is Edging The Same As Weed Wacking? Some folks like to DIY their own edges with a weed wacker–with mixed … [Read more...]
