Grass growing up against patio when concrete edging.
What happens here
The final step in the conceptual design is to draw the backfill soil around the tapered concrete edge. Ensure that the soil extends from the top of the concrete edge down to the original ground level, covering the tapered area. Emphasize using 'pulverized' soil, free of clumps, to provide an ideal medium for grass roots. This configuration creates ample space for a strong, healthy grass root system to develop right up against the patio.
Goal: Create an optimal environment for grass roots next to the patio.
