Curb appeal is all about first impressions. There are many details that you can attend to in an effort to make that positive first impression. Edging is something that requires sweat equity. And in the Northern Virginia summer heat, you may want to wait until an hour before dusk to get started on an edgiing project.
Edging creates clearly defined borders. While most people associate edging with the definied border between grass and sidewalk, edging can also be done around your mulch beds and gardens for that extra WOW factor.
An edger may not be effective if you haven't been maintaining a clear edge to your garden. You will most likely need a shovel and the patience to dig out your first edge. From that point, maintenance will be easy with an edging tool.
A little sweat equity can make a great first impession! Pride of ownership can mean extra money in your pocket when it's time to sell.
