Ask a landscaper what separates a good garden from a great one and many will say the same thing: the edges. A clean line between lawn and bed, or lawn and path, makes a yard look deliberate and finished.
Escape Yard provides edging for homes from Alstonville through to Byron Bay, Ballina and Lismore.
Why edges get away from you
Warm weather and regular rain mean grass is always creeping. It spreads sideways into garden beds, pushes over paths and slips along driveways and fences. Several weeks of growth in summer and the neat line you had is gone. Regular edging resets that border before it blurs.
What we do
- Crisp cuts along lawn and garden bed borders
- Trimming along paths, driveways, paving and fence lines
- Cleaning up grass that has crept into cracks and joints
- Sweeping up afterwards so hard surfaces are left clean
We take our time, because edging is a detail job. A straight line here and a clean corner there are what make the whole yard feel polished.
Pairing edging with other work
Edging goes hand in hand with mowing. A freshly cut lawn with sharp edges looks completely different to a mown lawn with ragged borders. It's also a great step before mulching, since a defined edge gives the bed a neat boundary and helps hold the mulch in place.
If you've never had your edges done properly, you might be surprised at the difference.
The details that count
Suburban homeowners who take pride in their property know it's the small things that people notice. Clean edges are one of the easiest ways to lift how a house looks from the street.
Frequently asked questions
Is edging included with mowing?
We can include it as part of a mowing visit. Let us know what you'd like when you ask for a quote.
How often should edges be done?
In the growing season, regular edging keeps lines looking sharp. In cooler months, less often is usually fine.
Can you recut overgrown edges?
Yes. We can reset edges that have crept over, then maintain them from there.
