Mowing & Edging

Many lawn care contractors offer edging as a regular service, often as part of a maintenance package with mowing. Prices for edging range from $32 to $92 in the US, and vary with the size of the site and the frequency of care. Neglected or overgrown areas may require a substantial amount of time and labor to be brought to a condition that can be maintained more efficiently.

An important aspect of edge and trimming services is clean up. Clearing walks, patios, and driveways of grass after mowing and edging is often done with a blower. While blowing is often incorporated in lawn care programs, the service itself typically costs between $55 and $156.

Fertilization may be offered as a seasonal or periodic treatment from your lawn care provider, perhaps in conjunction with edging, mulching or other services. Prices for fertilizing your lawn may vary with the type of material used and the size of your yard, but generally costs from $57 to $162 .

While professionals recommended less frequent aeration of your lawn than edging, it is another important step in maintaining the beauty of your landscaping. Aerating soil is recommended once or twice per season, with a typical price range of $109 to $214. The process is important to the health of your lawn as it improves your soil’s ability to receive and absorb nutrients and water.

Periodic weed prevention treatments by your contractor can save you a great deal of time on regular yard maintenance. Like fertilizing, treatments are often offered along with other periodic services such as edging, weeding beds, or spraying trees, but your provider can help you determine which treatments are appropriate for your yard and whether combining them is practical. Fees for applying weed treatments may vary with the size of the site and the herbicide used, typically costing from $47 to $133.

Landscapers and lawn care contractors offer several maintenance services that can keep your yard in excellent condition and allow you more time to enjoy your outdoor living spaces. Hiring a professional to handle your edging is a convenient way to bring overgrown borders under control and restore the well-kept appearance of your lawn.
