Overview
Overgrown lawn edges can look unsightly and make an otherwise healthy, well-cared for garden look untidy. For a professional finish, re-cut the edges of your lawn each spring and trim overhanging grass after mowing.

How to do it
-
Re-cut the edges of your lawn in spring with a half-moon edging tool. For a straight edge, cut against a plank of wood; for a curve, trim along a rope laid on the edge of the lawn. After mowing, trim overhanging grass with long-handled edging shears or a rotary trimmer.
"If you don't want to use a half-moon edging tool, invest in EverEdge spiked metal sheeting, which can be banged into the ground to retain the outline of the lawn."
