Lawn Beds and Garden Beds: Planning and Maintenance in London
How to plan lawn beds and garden beds in London, Ontario: edging, mulch, weed control, seasonal refresh, and professional bed maintenance for curb appeal.
Lawn beds and garden beds frame your turf and define curb appeal. In London, Ontario, beds take abuse from freeze-thaw cycles, road salt drift, and fast spring growth. Without clean edges and refreshed mulch, weeds migrate from bed to lawn and mowing visits cost more time on every pass.
Lawn bed basics that protect your lawn
- Define a crisp edge between bed soil and grass so runners and weeds do not spread silently.
- Refresh mulch on a cycle that matches tree cover and sun (typically every one to two seasons).
- Keep bed depth and width proportional to the house so planting does not look pasted on.
- Plan irrigation or hand-watering access before adding dense perennial layers.
