After the grass has been mowed, the trimming begins. People seem to hold the trimmer head level to the ground. This will scalp the grass and leave it too short. When the grass is too short, it provides a great environment for weeds to grow. The proper way to string trim the borders is to use a special edger or hold the trimmer at a 90-degree angle to the surface of the grass so you will achieve a nice well-defined border. It is important not to overdo it so you will not get a 2” wide and 4” deep trough surrounding your property. If it does not sound easy, that is because it isn’t. At Terra we have the proper people and machinery to do this at a reasonable cost to you. Just give us a call to schedule your free lawn evaluation and leave the trimming to us.
