Bed Edging

Each bed is given a defined edge at the grass line before mulching. We use the Bed Edger trenching machine to give each bed a crisp, clean line for highlighting. We recommend edging annually as the quality of the edge will naturally diminish throughout the year.

A utility marking service may be contacted to mark underground utility lines. Any underground lines should be buried six inches deep or more, however installers often place communication lines too shallow.

Utility marking services will not mark lines installed after the house has been built such as electric dog fencing. IF THESE LINES ARE PRESENT WE MUST BE MADE CLEARLY AWARE OF THEM IN WRITING.

We may not trench some areas if we feel that doing so will disturb any underground lines. Please advise us immediately if these lines have been disturbed so that the appropriate utility may be contacted for repair. We take no responsibility for any lines installed less than three inches below ground or not installed to code. In order to avoid sprinkler heads in the bed lines, please mark these items before trenching is to take place. We can provide you with flags if necessary. If the irrigation system is not on, please instruct us not to trench or provide us the locations of sprinkler heads.

Roots large and small may be exposed in some areas after trenching. This is normal and should not cause any damage to the plant or tree. Irrigation lines, if installed properly by the original contractor, should be buried at least 6 inches deep. We take no responsibility for irrigation lines hit during trenching, nor lines not marked by miss utility or put in after the original construction of the house as we have no way of knowing about these obstacles. It is imperative that Grosh’s Lawn Service be contacted immediately regarding any damages that may have occurred as a result of work performed.
