To get the most out of this beautiful edge work, there are a few things you can do. Read through our tips for maintaining your garden edging, then contact us to have yours restored!
Inspect it Regularly
Whether it’s from lawnmowers, kids playing, or just years of use, your garden edging can receive a lot of abuse throughout the years. That’s why it’s important to check your garden edging regularly for signs of damage or wear. Small cracks may seem insignificant, but if left unrepaired, they can lead to larger cracks that can cause the edging to collapse. We recommend checking your borders at least once a month and be sure to give us a call if you find any issues.
Keep it Clean
Debris, leaves, and dirt can cause your garden edging to become stained or discolored. To keep it looking bright and new, wash it down with a garden hose or power washer on a regular basis. Be sure to use a low setting on the power washer, as the high setting can damage the edging. By keeping up with this basic maintenance, you can keep your landscape looking its best throughout the year!
Repair Any Damage
If you notice cracks, chips, or other damage, have it repaired by a Border Magic professional right away. The sooner you have it repaired, the less likely it is to cause further damage to your edging. Our team at Border Magic is always happy to come to take a look at your edging and recommend the best course of action to help ensure it maintains its integrity.
Protect it From the Elements
If your garden edging is made from brick, stone, or another material that can be damaged by the elements, consider protecting it from the wind or rain. You can do this by adding a coat of sealant or by covering it with a tarp or other type of covering. This is best done in the winter when most plants have died off and you don’t need to worry about encroaching weeds.
