A mowing strip is a narrow row of pavers (or other material) separating a planting bed from a lawn. But the difference between mowing strips and other kinds of edging is that the pavers in mowing strips are sunk into the ground so that their upper surfaces are flush with, or slightly above, the surrounding ground.
How wide is a mow strip?
A mow strip is typically 6 inches wide and set level with the ground, so lawn mower blades can’t hit the concrete when the mower passes overhead.
Can you mow over lawn edging?
The short answer: you can, but you should not. Mowing over lawn edging risks breaking or otherwise damaging your lawnmower blades. If your lawn edging is even with the ground, you are probably all right. But, if you have a raised or a rugged edging, mowing over it is not ideal.
