mmmm, me too - I love using a half-moon edger (although, to be fair, none of my grassy swathes look remotely like your velvety specimen.
Still, the psychological value of edging and mulching is vast (and you will be imbued with extra virtue for at least a week).

Simply MARVELOUS!!!!! I love your color choice of mulch. It looks so natural.

I see so much red mulch these days. The red takes away from the beautiful green and screams look at me not the plants. At least that is what my eyes see.

What a perfectly manicured lawn and garden. The trees are pretty too. All of your hard work paid off. Now sit back and enjoy the view.

We just got 30 yards of mulch delivered. What a difference it makes.

Thank you all for the kind words. I have to admit that I did very little of all that work. I did, however, lend much moral support as my better half labored away. I delivered nice cold drinks, brownies and popsicles throughout his 3 1/2 days of hard labor. I love the sharp edging, but it is impossible to keep that look over the whole growing season. As all gardeners know, in the blink of an eye it seems, growing things will get ahead of one's good intentions. Good thing that we have a little less that an acre to work against us here. At least 2 of the larger island beds are in need of redoing and those hostas in the first picture need to be removed. They are suffering from too much sun since a very large American elm died and had to be cut down 2 years ago. The elm was replaced with a tulip tree, but it will be years for it's shade to be of any help.
