Lawn care doesn’t stop at mowing. Use a lawn edger to get a professional manicured look without the cost. Edging tools are used to separate the lawn from a sidewalk, driveway or path. By using one each time you mow your lawn, you’ll keep grass and weeds from overtaking your sidewalk or driveway, so your landscape looks great all season long. Edgers operate either manually or with an electric or gasoline motor. A lawn edger will help you achieve the kind of lawn people will envy. It will also make it easier to keep up on landscaping duties, meaning more time for you to enjoy your yard. For more ideas on how to shape your lawn, check out our know-how.
Power edgers are motorized by gasoline or electricity and are usually mounted on 2 wheels. Electric lawn edgers are available in corded and battery-operated models. Use the following guide to find the right edger for you.
Gas edgers work well if you have a large area to cover. Try the ECHO Stick Edger (753391). ECHO is exclusive to The Home Depot and certified to the EPA highest engine-emission durability rating.
Electric edgers are lightweight and require very little maintenance in cost and time. Check out the Black & Decker Electric Lawn Edger (684089), which includes a 3-position blade-depth adjustment to give you more control when cutting.
