Today’s Tip
Refresh the Edging Around Your Flower Beds After the Rain
After a full week of rain in the Seward area, flower‑bed edges are looking a little rough — mulch pushed out, soil softened, and clean lines blurred. This weekend’s Wrap‑Up is a simple, satisfying reset: refresh the edging around your beds while the ground is still soft and easy to shape.
🌧️ Step 1: Re‑Define the Edge Line Use a flat shovel or edging tool to press a clean line back into the softened soil. Rain makes this step quick and crisp.
🌿 Step 2: Pull Mulch Back Into Place Rain washes mulch into the yard and onto sidewalks. Rake it back into the bed to restore depth and protect plant roots.
🪨 Step 3: Re‑Seat Any Loose Stones or Bricks If you use stone or block edging, the wet ground may have shifted pieces. Reset them while the soil is pliable.
🌤️ Why This Matters Now Post‑rain soil is easy to shape, and a quick edging refresh instantly boosts curb appeal as Seward heads into summer.
🛠️ What HSH Can Do HSH Home Services can help with edging resets, mulch shaping, small landscape corrections, and outdoor‑living prep to keep your yard looking sharp.
📍 Local Note With more scattered showers in the forecast, this is the perfect window to tidy up the beds before the next round of weather rolls through.
