Trimming vs. Edging – What’s the Difference and Why Both Matter for Your Lawn

✂️ What Is Trimming?

Trimming refers to cutting the grass in areas your mower can’t reach, like:

• Around fence posts

• Along garden beds

• Around trees and shrubs

• Near walls or utility boxes

We use a string trimmer (also called a weed whacker) to carefully match the mower height and clean up these hard-to-reach areas.

✅ Why it matters: Without trimming, these areas grow tall and unruly, making the lawn look messy — even if it was just mowed.

📏 What Is Edging?

Edging creates a sharp, defined line between your lawn and surfaces like:

• Driveways

• Sidewalks

• Patios

• Garden borders

This is done using a blade edger or vertical trimming tool to slice through overgrown grass that spills onto hard surfaces.

✅ Why it matters: Edging gives your lawn that “finished” look, adding curb appeal and creating clear boundaries between lawn and landscape.

🌿 Why You Need Both for a Clean Look

While trimming handles vertical growth around obstacles, edging handles horizontal growth over borders.
Together, they:

• Prevent overgrowth onto walkways

• Enhance the shape of your lawn and flower beds

• Make mowing look more complete

• Improve the resale value and visual appeal of your property
