Want to add complexity to your garden while still keeping it neat and tidy? Garden edging is the secret to completely transforming landscapes with minimal effort. A professional installation can further ensure that this transformation is absolutely flawless and long-lasting.
While DIY attempts at garden edging can sometimes look good from afar, time and a more keen eye can uncover mistakes that a professional would never make.
At Must Have Maintenance, we perform garden edging and all our other Melbourne garden services with the utmost attention to detail. We know how to expertly install garden edging so that it not only looks good, but also leads to the best outcomes for your garden.
Benefits of Garden Edging
-
Benefit #1 Enhances Landscape Aesthetics
Garden edging allows you to have multiple garden types in a single landscape while still maintaining a sense of order and aesthetic unity. You can use garden edging to define the boundaries between garden beds, lawns, and pathways, essentially carving out areas in the landscape for different purposes.
-
Benefit #2 Offers Functional Improvements
Aside from upgrading the appearance of your outdoor spaces, garden edging can be used for practical reasons as well. It can act as a weed barrier and also promote better drainage.
With professionally-installed landscape edges, weeds are kept out and the water in your garden goes where it’s supposed to. Both can lead to lower maintenance requirements.
Garden edging also allows you to maintain each separate area according to its distinct needs, ensuring your efforts are largely spent on areas that need the most maintenance.
-
Benefit #3 Strengthens Soil and Plant Health
Your plants can grow without interference from other vegetation such as grass runners and roots that extend laterally. Instead of being overrun by other plants aboveground or competing for the same nutrients underground, your plants can stay safe and protected. Garden edging also helps develop the correct soil structure, preventing soil erosion and in some cases, soil compaction.
Types of Garden Edging Materials
-
Metal
Melbourne property owners greatly favour metal garden edging for a sleek and modern look. Corten steel or weathering steel is amongst the most popular garden edging materials today for its unique resilience against outside elements.
-
Stone
Stone garden edging, on the other hand, is chosen for its rustic appeal and varied texture. Melbourne garden enthusiasts appreciate the timeless charm of natural stones such as sandstone, granite, and of course, river pebbles.
-
Concrete
Traditionally requiring less maintenance than natural stone, concrete garden edging is a solid choice for Melbourne property managers. Given the durable material’s potential for in-depth customisation, it’s also highly versatile.
-
Timber
Timber retaining walls doubling as wooden garden edging for raised garden beds are beloved in the landscape design world. Cedar garden edging provides both a natural flair and modern look to Melbourne lawns and yards.
For sustainability-conscious Melbourne residents, eco-friendly garden edging materials include locally-sourced natural stone as well as recycled timber, metal, and rubber.
Why Choose Professional Garden Edging Installation in Melbourne?
When it comes to garden edging, you may be tempted to do it yourself. But while DIY efforts are commendable, garden edging isn’t as simple as it seems.
You need to be able to precisely measure the landscaping layout, the materials, and the slope. For more complex and expansive landscapes, you need adequate knowledge of landscape design and grading. You also need to account for Melbourne’s ever-changing weather conditions in selecting materials if you want the garden edging to last.
Choosing professional garden edging installation by a highly-qualified team such as Must Have Maintenance ensures that your garden edging looks great and endures. With our proven track record and 5-star Google reviews, we’re the best choice for a superb garden edging service in Melbourne.
