FAQs

How do I choose a lawn edger? ›

Features to look for in a lawn edger

You want an edger that feels solid in your hands, isn't flimsy or wobbly, and is easy to manoeuvre on a hard surface.

Do manual edgers work well? ›

Are manual lawn edgers any good? Manual lawn edgers are easy to use and do a great job of keeping your lawn edges looking sharp. By hand, you can create a neat edge using a blade and a long handle that you push into the ground. With manual edgers, you get lightweight, easy-to-use, and low-maintenance features.

How deep should I edge my lawn? ›

Pierce the ground, and go down at least 3 to 4 inches deep for a well-defined edge, which will make maintenance easier the rest of the season, says Hall. Remove the cutaway piece of turf, and clean up the edges of the mini-trench you've created so it's sharp and clean and has a beveled shape.

Should you mow or edge first? ›

While there is no definitive answer, it is often found that doing the edges first can be easier and leave a cleaner appearance. Doing the edges first will mean that the excess clippings from the edges will then get cleaned up when the mower goes over the top of them, making the clean up a lot easier and quicker.

Do you push or pull an edger? ›

If you're using a manual edger, use your leg strength to push the blade down into the soil. Hold the stick firmly and set your foot on the edger tool. Push down with your foot to cut through the soil, and rock the blade gently to cut through the turf.

Can you edge a lawn after rain? ›

You'll get best results when the grass is dry. Avoid edging in wet soil or wet grass areas, which might cause the blade guard to clog and result in an uneven edge.

What do professionals use to edge a lawn? ›

Using a Lawn Edger

Lawn edgers cut a trench between the grass and hedges or other areas using a very sharp blade. A lawn edger is a tool that you can use to trim the grass on the very edge of a lawn or flowerbed that the lawnmower may not be able to reach.

What is the best equipment to edge a lawn? ›

One of the most popular lawn edging tools is the half-moon edger. This widely available tool has a sharp half-moon-shaped blade that loosens the soil around the edge of your lawn, allowing you to define a nice, neat edge of your lawn area. Like all garden tools, keep the blade sharp for effective use.

Do you use an edger before or after mowing? ›

While there is no definitive answer, it is often found that doing the edges first can be easier and leave a cleaner appearance. Doing the edges first will mean that the excess clippings from the edges will then get cleaned up when the mower goes over the top of them, making the clean up a lot easier and quicker.

What is the difference between a string trimmer and a manual edger? ›

Lawn edgers are all about precision. They clean up unruly grass to make those crisp, defined lines along sidewalks, driveways and lawn edges. Then there's the string trimmer —also known as a weed wacker. These are your go-to for tackling tricky spots your mower can't reach, like around trees, flower beds and fences.
