We have had that discussion before he uses a line trimmer once established. I wonder what kind of M/H you have budgeted per visit? Do you have a mow crew and a beds N bushes crew or does one crew do it all?
These yards are roughly 20min per yard every week. 4 man crew. More if we trim shrubs, not more than 2 or 3 yards trimmed per day. Same crew does it all.
I second that! not trying to start a trimmer vs. edger war but a very seldom few can duplicate the resuts of an edger on a sidewalk/driveway with a trimmer.

Maybe your turf is different but me and my guy can edge just as well as any stick edger. Obviously and edge has to be established first with a stick edger, but once this is done maintaining the edge with the trimmer has never been a problem. When you mow and trim all day for 4 years you should be able to walk and hold the trimmer straight at the same time.
I go to South Carolina every year (Myrtle Beach), and I have never seen lawns look as similiar as yours do to what we see up north. I am not familiar with the southern warm climate grasses but you have the first pics I have seen from your area that look as they do.

Congrats LB89! You are very talented
The stick seems to give us a more consistant edge with less chance of error.
