Mow Strip
A mow strip is one of the few yard improvements that pays for itself in time saved every single week from the very first day it goes in the ground.

Not All Mow Strips Are the Same Width or Depth.
A mow strip that's too narrow flexes and cracks. One that's too shallow heaves in the first wet season. AJ Criss sizes mow strips to the specific conditions of your yard — soil type, slope, proximity to roots, mower wheel width — and finishes them with a consistent level plane that allows a mower to ride cleanly without dipping or catching. It's a straightforward installation done properly, which means it lasts.
Cleaner Edges. Faster Maintenance. Sharper-Looking Yard.
If you're spending time every week edging along garden beds, fence lines, and planting borders with a trimmer or hand shears, a concrete mow strip eliminates that work entirely — and does it without any ongoing cost. The installed strip creates a hard edge between lawn and bed that a mower can ride along directly, removing the need for a separate edging pass and keeping grass from creeping into planting areas over time. AJ Criss installs mow strips as part of new landscape construction and as standalone improvements throughout North County San Diego.
