Edging

Clean, sharp edges are the sign of nicely manicured gardens. Here at Jackson's Garden Services, servicing Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole, we understand professional edging is not just an aesthetic concern but rather the creation of definition, the accentuating of the functional, and the addition to the overall beauty of your garden. From the defined border of the flower bed to the neat line of the lawn to the chic border around the patio, our professional edging adds the key finishing touch.

Why Edging is Necessary for Your Garden

Edging might seem like a small detail, but its impact on the appearance and health of your garden is huge:

Creates Definition and Structure: Edging is used to break up and divide your garden's areas visually. Edging your garden makes it look structured, neat, and well-designed, and gives it the appearance of being more professional and deliberate.

Prevents Spillover: Edging prevents grass from creeping onto flower beds and walkways, and also stops mulch or decorative rock from spilling onto lawn areas or onto hard surfaces. Edging also conserves maintenance time and keeps the material where it should stay.

Enhances Curb Appeal: The sharply defined-edged garden instantly makes your property look more manicured and cared for, significantly increasing your property's overall value and curb appeal.

Aids to Maintenance: The cutting edges offer simpler and better cutting, reducing the need to use a strimmer and creating a neater finish. Boundary weeding is also facilitated.

Preserves the Roots of Plants: Edging at deeper levels can offer protection to the roots of the plants against compaction and accidental damage where it occurs.

Types of Edging and Materials We Employ

The type of edging you use will ultimately depend upon your style of garden, your practical needs, and your budget. At Jackson's Garden Services we utilize several different types of materials and techniques to achieve the look you need for your garden:

Edging flower bed

Soft Edging (Spade Cut): Cutting the V-trench clean and neatly can provide an absolutely clean break between the lawn and flower bed for the natural, unbroken appearance. The spade cut requires frequent maintenance to keep it sharp.

Metal Edging (Steel, Aluminium):

Benefits: Extremely durable, discreet, rounded flexibility, and long-lasting. Steel naturally rusts to a nice patina, and Aluminium offers a clean, modern look.

Ideal for creating sharply defined, low-clearance breaks where the lawn may be safely crossed with no difficulty.

Recycled Polypropylene Plastic Edging

Pros: Cheap, easy to fit, universal, and comes in a selection of colours (though generally chosen for their unobtrusiveness).

Appropriate for prevention against grass intrusion, especially where the context is not formal and cost is the prime factor.

Timber Edging has two types:

Benefits: Provides rustic, natural appearance. Because of their raised height, sleepers form high, raised edges to larger beds.

Appropriate for cottage gardens, raised beds, and where definite, strong lines are needed. Ongoing maintenance is necessary to avoid rot.

Brick or Stone Edging

Benefits: Extremely long-lasting, timeless, and has the sensation of enduring permanence and eternal beauty. Can also be installed to be flush to the floor, or raised.

Most suitable for formal gardens, formal designs, or for use along paths. Produces an enduring, stable hedge.

Lawn Edging

Flush Edging: Brick, Stone, Metal

Benefits: Allows lawnmower wheels to travel straight to the edge, with no need for strimming. Creates a tidy, clean, and smooth look.

Suitable for use along paths, patios, and flower beds where it is desirable to have an uninterrupted line.

Recessed Ed

Benefits: Offers a gradual slope, marking the end of the lawn and the beginning of another element

It may be made with different kinds of materials, complemented with the addition of bark or gravel border.

Patio and pathway edging

Block Paving, instead of Kerb Edging

It provides the company, solid border to prevent paving stones from spreading and to retain chippings or gravel. It is available in various colours and patterns.

Essential to maintaining the life and cleanliness of gardening paths, deck patios, and driveways.

Setts or Cobbles:

Benefits: Adds the traditional, textured element, creating an aesthetically attractive contrast or border complement around patios.

Ideal for use in rustic style gardens.
