Landscape Edging Martha's Vineyard

Maintain crisp borders and weed-free garden beds. We provide traditional spade-cut hand edging and detailed weeding services to keep your landscaping pristine.

★★★★★Landscape Maintenance · MA Licensed & Insured

Bed edging on Martha's Vineyard uses traditional hand-cut spade edges between lawn and bed - cleaner, longer-lasting, and more flexible than plastic or metal borders. Infinity Landscaping pairs spring edging with bi-weekly or monthly hand weeding programs that pull weeds at the root rather than chemical treatments. Chemical-free options available across all six island towns.

What this page covers

Spade-cut hand edging

We define bed boundaries with clean, deep edges. We use traditional steel spades to cut a vertical, 3-to-4-inch deep trench between lawn turf and garden soil, preventing grass roots from spreading into beds and holding mulch in place.

Thorough hand weeding

We keep beds weed-free by extracting roots. Rather than simply trimming weed leaves (which allows them to grow back quickly), we hand-pull weeds from the root base to keep your gardens clean and clear.

Stone & metal border care

If your beds utilize stone, cobblestone, or aluminum borders, we keep them clean. We align shifted stones, clear weeds from stone joints, and trim grass borders flush with the edging to maintain a sharp presentation.

Organic weed suppression

To reduce weed regrowth, we use natural suppression methods. We apply organic pre-emergents, recommend dense cedar or pine bark mulch barriers, and check beds on a regular schedule to catch weed seedlings early.

The importance of border definition on Martha's Vineyard

The importance of border definition

A clean landscape depends on the contrast between turf grass and garden soil. Without a defined border, aggressive lawn grasses (such as Kentucky bluegrass) will quickly send roots into garden beds, crowding out ornamental plants and making beds look messy.

We use traditional hand spade-cutting to build a vertical trench along bed lines. This trench creates a physical barrier that grass roots cannot cross. We run this service in the spring as part of bed prep, and touch up the lines in late summer to ensure your borders remain sharp for the autumn season.

Frequently asked questions

We recommend bi-weekly or monthly weeding visits from May through September to manage weed cycles. Regular visits ensure we extract weeds before they flower and drop seeds, which reduces the weed population over time.
