Lawn Edging

I did a lavender garden for a client using pea stone.(Very small crushed limestone). Its the only one Ive done with stone. It came out really nice. Stone is cool...I like it but I am definitely partial to mulch. Weeds are always going to be a problem to some extent. Its all maintenance...which is why we are here!!!!!

Lawn care business tips

If you could have done the job again, would you do anything differently? Also how did your estimated time for the job compare with your actual job hours?

I probably wouldnt do too much different. The time is always tough on these. You never know what may pop up. Just like anything I suppose. I have done edging like this many times so I can calculate fairly decent how long it will take. My first time out I just guessed to be honest. Have nailed it down a lot since then.

More pics. Done with edging. Just have to clean out a raised bed then mulch.

Those are some great pics! You could harness them by using them in your marketing material of on your website.

Mulching tomorrow. the clients want natural woodchips(ground up stumps, branches,etc) instead of pine bark or hemlock. They want the informal natural look. Not my cup of tea but whatever, theyre paying the bill.

I know. The red dyed mulch is awful.

Here are some pics of another job I did a while back. I couldnt get a real good shot of the lavender garden with the limestone.

Woodchips attract ants and termites. Clients of mine who have woodchips usually have one or the other.
