How to use a Lawn Edger

When it comes to turning your lawn into a perfectly manicured green, the devil is always in the details.

Sure, a good lawn mower and some sprinklers will get the job done… but only to the barest minimum. If perfection is what you’re after, purchasing and using a lawn edger would be a great investment.

A lawn edger is a piece of gardening equipment that is primarily used to trim the grass on the very edges of a lawn. Picture a gorgeous lawn or flowerbed that seamlessly merges with a pebbled path or the street at the front entrance; isn’t that simply the dream? This is what a lawn edger can help you create.

This particular tool is essential if you’d like to complement your front lawn or garden with that smooth-edged look.

However, in addition to having the right garden equipment, it’s also important to ensure that you actually know how to operate a lawn edger and smoothen the edges of your lawn, if you plan on doing the work yourself. Below, we are going to walk you through a few easy steps that will help you use a lawn edger and trim your lawn to perfection.

1. Wear protective clothing

Before you begin any lawn work, it’s important to make sure that you’ve put on protective clothing that will keep you safe. Putting on a long pair of trousers and heavy boots, as well as earplugs and goggles will help you protect yourself from any potential accidents while operating the edger.

2. Mark out your path before edging

Next, you’ll want to take a 20-30 feet rope and mark out the path that you’ll be edging along before using the electric edger. For this, it would be ideal to leave a space of about half an inch between your marking and the edge of the street or sidewalk.

3. Remove impediments from your path

After this, you’ll want to follow your marked-out path and remove any impediments that may be damaged by your edger. Removing rocks, pebbles, stones and any other firm obstacles that your edger may come across when you begin the job will definitely be worth your while.

If you follow the 3 steps above, you’ll be able to turn on your electric edger and smooth your lawn without any problems.
