So What Is The Difference Between Lawn Edging & Trimming?

What Lawn Care Equipment Do You Want?

Lawn trimming tasks commonly use string trimmers for quick and smooth removal of weeds, grasses, and other vegetation that grow around mailboxes, fences, trees, and shrubs.
Kinds of string trimmers include corded and cordless models, that are powered by gas, electric or batteries. Select a battery-powered trimmer only when you have a small yard that needs only minimal trimming.
Edging tasks usually use edgers that are mechanized, although you could use a manual rotary or half-moon edger if your garden is small, your edging tasks are minimal and you have the elbow grease for the job.

Lawn Trimming Tips & Techniques

Match the height of the grass and weeds you cut with a trimmer to the height of the grass you mowed for a uniform look do not scalp the grass with a trimmer.
Keep the string length to the edge of the guard for safety.• Always wear eye protection while using a trimmer, shoes (or boots) and long pants to protect your feet and legs from flying debris.
Do not allow the string of the trimmer to contact the stems, trunk, branches or bark of plants. Nicking plants whilst lawn trimming opens wounds which can allow insects and diseases to enter plants.
Select a string trimmer with an automatic feed so that you do not need to stop frequently and adjust the string.

Lawn & Garden Edging

While edging along a tough surface, which includes a sidewalk or driveway, position the wheel of the edger at the tough floor and use it as a guide as you cut the grass along its edge.
Do not use an edger towards plastic edging, as it will cut the plastic and send shards flying.
Always wear eye protection when using an edger, shoes (or boots) and long pants to protect your feet and legs from flying debris.
Use the edger’s blade to make a 1- to 1 1/2- inch vertical cut inside the soil.
If you need to install a new flower bed, you could use an edger to cut the outline into the yard before disposing of the grass in the outline.
Be careful about the use of an edger around plant roots; be aware that the edger will severe the roots, that can injure a plant.

Lawn & Leaf Cleanup & Storage

Store tools in a dry area to maintain the blades sharp and keep them from rusting, and wipe or brush the blades clean before storing the tools. You will extend the life of your tools with the right care.
The use of lawn trimming and edging tools is only half the job. Make sure to eliminate the trimmings that fall onto your lawn and hardscapes to complete the manicure task.
