Overly-aggressive Edging

We usually only provide mow, edge and blow services for those customers for whom we are continuously working on the other plant life on their properties.

I am thankful for these relationships, but more so as they trust me to maintain and prune the other more substantial shrubs and trees, which truly pop even more aside a well maintained lawn. 

I have noticed customers' and friends' properties which have these areas along man-made borders which seem to be trimmed cut too deep (too short).

One blamed this on a row of small shrubs which may have been shading the grass. In fact the early morning sun came in at such a low angle that this area of grass was receiving as much light as the rest of the lawn. Some other adjacent and nearby borders were doing fine, some with less sun exposure, but they didn't have a man-made border and they were vertically edge instead of horizontally trimmed.

It appears (Well, actually I've seen it being done.) some of us humans get a little OC on this and feel we need get down and dirty and into that corner and clean it all out, including the grass. Or, someone is trimming before mowing, not realizing the mowing height.

There is nothing that stands out more than a lawn which completely and evenly meets up with its borders, particularly those of plant beds. That separation and definition makes the different elements of one's property pop.

So, stop it!
