If you’ve landed on this page, you are likely in search of information which will help you turn your patchy, bald spotted or irregular turf into something worthy of backyard picnics, family portraits, and overall consistent aesthetics.

If you’ve tried, then you know that perfect lawn doesn’t come easy. With it comes a lot of work, and most importantly, work which needs to be done correctly. Whether you are looking to turn your backyard dune-scape into something a little greener, or maintain that perfectly lush haven you’ve created, there are three main components involved.

Ideal lawn care which can either make or break the lawn of your dreams requires rudimentary care and maintenance. At the core of this lawn care maintenance routine are three main components:

• Mowing
• Trimming
• Edging

While mowing your lawn is pretty clear cut, trimming refers to addressing the areas of your yard which cannot be reached by a standard lawn mower. Most commonly, trimming is required near the edges and corners of your yard, but is also required anywhere else your mower just doesn’t fit. Edging on the other hand refers to refining and distinguishing the borders of your lawn itself.

Edging is most commonly performed along areas such as patios, driveways, sidewalks, foot paths, and anywhere else your lawn meets a border.

These three factors to basic lawn care and maintenance are straightforward. But as mentioned, there is a right way and a wrong way to do it.

For example, one of the most common mistakes that countless DIY lawn care enthusiasts make, is scalping their lawn. Scalping occurs when the height of the lawn is mowed or trimmed too short.

We know just how valuable time can be, and while the intent can be pure (and time saving), the results can lead to several issues including, bald patching, weed growth, and other inconsistencies.

Similarly, when it comes to edging, ‘over-doing it’ can also lead to some problematic issues. Most commonly, the lawn care DIY enthusiast will create a groove that is too far from the border they are edging. Leaving a large gap of exposed soil is an issue for a number of reasons. The most substantial of which is that it becomes cozy nest for weeds to blossom.
