A redefined line
The border is cut back to a clean edge, removing the tufted strip of grass and soil that a mower leaves behind.

Lawn edging in Christchurch
The line where turf meets path, kerb, bed or fence. Cut clean, it makes a mown lawn look designed; left ragged, nothing else on the property will fix it.
A lawn can be cut perfectly and still look unfinished, because the edge is the only part of it the mower cannot reach. The mower deck stops a few centimetres short of a path, a wall or a fence line, and what is left behind is a ragged border of long grass and soil. Edging is the short, deliberate work that closes that gap and gives the lawn a defined outline.
It is also the fastest way to see the difference between a maintained property and a neglected one. A cut lawn with a ragged edge looks untidy from across the street. The same lawn with a clean line along the path and around the bed looks deliberate, because the eye reads that line as the boundary of the grass.
The tool depends on what is in the way. A strimmer is the usual choice along open borders and fence lines. Along a hard edge — a path, a deck, a kerb — the line is redefined with a half-round blade or a spade cut. Around shrubs and delicate perennials the work is done by hand, because a strimmer head does not know the difference between a weed and a plant somebody paid for.
What a proper job includes
Four things lawn edging should cover
The checklist for judging the work, whether it is being done as a one-off or as part of a maintenance round.
Obstacles worked around
Fence lines, trees, poles, downpipes and hard-to-reach corners are taken at a slower speed so nothing is scalped or marked.
Paths and beds kept clear
Edges along paving and garden beds are tidied so the line between grass and hard surface is straight and continuous.
Arisings removed
The debris stripped off the edge is raked and taken away, leaving the bed and path surface clean rather than littered.
When people need it
Three situations this service answers
After a mower change or a new mower deck
A deck set too high leaves a wide strip of long grass along every border. A strimmer pass takes that strip back to level without re-cutting the lawn.
Along a fence or a boundary wall
Fence lines are the classic problem edge. They need a slower pass, often with the head angled so the base of the grass is taken without touching the fence.
Between wet cycles
Edges that get overgrown quickly turn into seed heads and a weedy margin. A short strimmer pass keeps the border open and easy to keep mowing.
