Are electric lawn edgers any good?
For most residential use, an electric lawn edger is just fine. These tend to be less weighty than their gas-driven counterparts. Further, there are both corded and battery-operated models available. There’s limited maintenance that needs to be done on an electric edger, as well.
Do you push or pull a lawn edger?
Push the edger slowly along the edging line to cut through the turf, keeping the blade tight against the paved surface, if applicable. Listen to the edger to guide the speed; the machine works harder when cutting through turf and is generally quieter when it finishes cutting and is ready to move along the line.
What is the difference between edging and trenching?
Objects such as rocks, bricks, strips of metal or polyvinyl landscape edging are commonly used as edging, but grass and weeds can quickly escape the lawn through the slightest gap in the edging. Trench edges allow you to mow along the edge without any rocks or bricks to damage the mower.
How much does an electric edger cost?
Many electric edgers cost less than $100, while a good gas edger can cost $200 or more. You can spend more than $500, but there is no need to pay that much for a solid edger.
