- There is nothing that looks better than well taken care of natural edges in the lawn! All I used was this simple half moon edger, you can pick up from your local hardware store or have it shipped to your door here: amzn.to/34FW91Y

Is it weird that I just went from 6 to midnight?
It's only weird if you make it weird!
Favorite comment I've ever gotten by the way
The Lawn Whisperer first time getting pinned...lots of positive things happening here!

It’d be weird if you didn’t.
Another way to use the hose to lay out your area is to set it how you want it to look and then leave the hose there for a couple days. When you remove the hose, the grass underneath will give you a natural yellowed line from where the hose kept the sun from getting to the grass and you won't have the hose in you way when you start your edging.
yeah, great idea, and you won't cut up your hose in the process.
Awesome idea. Now if I can get our squirrel families to buy into NOT moving the hose, it just might work. LOL!!! Really. Great suggestion :-) Thank you.
Lol, love it!
Great thank you so much, save me 16 Cad to buy a paint marker
@@bobcaygeon6799 Maybe use garden staples to keep the hose in place?
Ok the “that’s what she said” and facial expressions about your neighbor were what did it for me. 😂 Subscribed.
Same. Lol
Me too
Same 😂😂
Same lol
He needs to make a colab with the neighbor!
I like your neighbor. He seems friendly.
Recently did this to my front yard mulch bed. Looks super clean and professional. Trying to get a perfect circle around my trees was difficult, but I found use of a string with one end loosely tied to the half moon tool and the other side to the tree have me a consistent circle.
Great idea!
@@missmonasuzette edger trimmer blind
oh wow what a fantastic idea!
I do this every year and wet the edge before doing it. It makes for an even cleaner look.
Had no idea until now. I've always wonder how other people have their edges looks so nice and sharp. This is going to be my go to. I love that the video is brief and to the point with tones of useful tips, thank you 👍
I like how the kid's just swinging away while Dad digs.
I was thinking how most kids would have been interrupting Dad every 2 minutes and getting in the way but this kid was just happily swinging the whole time.
Time has passed. I wonder if they still use that swing. Bittersweet. 🌸
You had me at that's what she said - but seriously thank you for this, my husband and I bought a house with a garden after years of renting apartments, he is deployed and I have no clue what to do with the lawn. Going to binge your channel!
The look you gave your neighbor PRICELESS!! Thank you for your video. I'm working on my flower bed this weekend and will use your tips!!
Nice job on the video. Tip - Use your steel blade sidewalk edger/trimmer to keep your beds looking sharp/crispy and you will notice no browning from the string trimmer and you can get close to the flowers without cutting a single bloom. Nice turf you have there!
That was amazing! I have been edging for years trying to get that crisp look but didn't know what I was doing wrong. Great explanations.You are the Bomb!
Thank you so much.
The interaction between your neighbor had me ROTFLOL. 😂
Girl it had me in stitches 😂🤣
It seemed awfully rude.
@@YSLRD that's because you have zero context
You should give lessons to other "How To" CZcamsrs. You get right to it, no Uhs, or Ums. You know your stuff and you can communicate it in such an efficient manner. You are quick & efficient as you are explaining what you're doing & why. I am amazed that I can cut out my own berm & make it as big our as small as I want it & do it efficient & professionally. Thank you young man. I usually start out with the person teaching and then I'm so bored with all the wasted time due to their own lack of know-how in communicating until usually for me, its's "I'm Out!" You passed the test in knowledge & efficient communication. Getting my half moon implement tomorrow and I'm going to work. THANK YOU! +Remember Mr George Floyd+
Thank you!!
"Fentanyl Floyd"
OMG! What’s with the George Floyd crap?🙈🙈🙈
Gotta be from Midwest with that humor. Old neighbor wants to be friends. How sweet !
That’s what I thought
You had me at “that’s what she said”. 😂
Same! 🤣 I subscribed too.
Me too
Me 3.. thats what made me laugh then like the vid... then later subscribe when he mentioned that he will show how to upkeep it too. LawnWhisperer.. You are the MF BOMB!!!
Got my attention!
I subscribed!
Love it ! I use that line all the time 😂
I followed three lawn guys on the tube and I must say, your videos are the best for the way you describe in detail of lawn care. Also the good jokes.
Every other video I have seen makes it look kinda hard and I was thinking about paying someone...... Then I can across you. Now you got me thinking I'm a pro.... Thank You!!!!
As a newbie, I'm VERY appreciative of your specific instructions. Like weed whacking in one direction, and wiggling the half moon edger side to side. SUPER clear video - thank you!
Thanks a lot. Have done this myself but it’s never as clean and crisp looking. Thanks for the tips. Half moon edger is next yard tool I’ll be buying.
Love the content. It’s real life, so if a neighbor pops in, that keeps it real too. Loved it. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for explaining this so simply. You’ve given me the courage to remove my metal edging and do this instead!
I was so happy to find this video as I was trying to find out how to do edging in my flower gardens! Thank you! ☺️🌺🌳 Neighbor shot was hilarious! 😂
His neighbor is super friendly. You have a to meet a couple humbugs to appreciate that 😂
Wow. Love this. I have been edging my beds for years. I'm going to be able to fine tune them a bit after watching your tips. Thanks.
I just finished edging my bed using this technique. It was just as easy as it appears in your video. Thanks!
Looks really nice and clean, I’m going to use your method tomorrow!!! My neighbors and I are always trying to outdo one another when it comes to yard work!! Just friendly encouraging competition!!!😀
Mine do not. I had someone who is NOT a yard person at all (they pay to have theirs mowed) stop by yesterday and was like, "Wow! You can see a clear line where your property line is at. Your side is so green!"
Lol North America is weird.
Just enjoy your lawn/gardens and don't worry about what your neighbors think.
what a sweet neighbor you have- "love thy neighbor as thy self" he seems like he should be easy to love!
He’s not my neighbor but he’s a nice guy! I just didn’t like getting caught talking to the camera
that's how u get the V! I have used the moon edger for past 5 years and never got that crisp look thank you very much.
This process is much cheaper than buying rocks and plastic etc., plus it looks neater. Thank you for posting.
Ha, "ya out taking pictures?!?" LOL Edges looking crispy!
priceless!!
Gotta love neighbors HAHA
Haha. I watched that part over and over.
I hit Like when you flashed, "Don't flop your hose around in public." A little humour goes a long, long way. 😎
This was a great video! Your face was priceless after you spoke to your neighbor. Lol
Totally agree 😂😂😂
Definitely priceless!
I eye balled all my gardens. I like the curves because it looks more natural.
"Don't flop your hose out in public." That made my day.
That’s what she said.
Came across this video again after a couple years because I’m trying to decide on new landscape edging. You just can’t beat the look of that live edge.
I agree I think it absolutely looks the best!
Best video demonstration on how to do this that I've seen so far!! Been trying to get my edge to look like that, but can never get it straight & crisp. Wil be purchasing a half moon edge tool today! Thx!👍
Love the look of it. It simple do create that look as I am a beginner in lawn caring. I just purchased my new house, during Corona pandemic. More opportunities during this crisis, LET’S GET IT. 🔥👏🏾
I was watching so intently..then the line "that's what she said".. caught me totally off guard. Had to back up the video. 🤣
Great content👍
I love it haha
I was just about to buy a pallet full of paver edgers, but you have changed my mind. I'm going to try your technique instead. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks for sharing. A great way to determine the line is to have the grass long then use the lawn mower to outline the curves. This way the
lawn cutting will be smooth and easy too. Before cutting the rest of the lawn use the edge cutter to dig in as you illustrated. Using flour also is a great way to determine the line.
Agree with all you say! Please come and live with me for my garden.
Absolutely meticulous! There is nothing that sets off a lawn and bed more than excellent edging. Great job! Wish you were my neighbour, everyone on your street must try to keep up with your lawn care and they probably all have nice yards! :)
If you don't like to use spray paint because it is hard to fix, here is what an old friend taught me. Buy one of those ketchup squirt bottles, like you see in restaurants or hot dog stands, and fill it halfway with flour. Since they have skinny tips, you can aim and draw nice lines in the grass just by squeezing. If you don't like how it turns out, and want to try again, spray the line with your hose and it's gone. Enjoy!
I dont like to use spray paint because it's much easier and in my opinion more effective to use a hose. Just my opinion.
Why not just use ketchup 😂😂🤣😅🙈
I like your process. I'm a 76 yr old lady who does this stuff by myself. After I edged the bed using your process, I line the area with plastic and put red crushed brick on top of the plastic. I left round holes for hosta plants and a couple bushes. Weeds don't creep in, mowing is easy, not much to do with weed trimmer. Weeds and stony, clay, hard pack soil is what we have upstate NY. So we need to find easy ways to keep lawns pretty with less toil.
A one eyed gardener once advised me to wear goggles when using a strimmer! Excellent video btw.
Great video I would suggest laying plastic down when throwing the grass makes for a easy clean up you can pour the clippings and debris into a lawn bag right after
Love that look on your face when talking to your neighbor! lol
I just told my husband I would like him to do this for all my planting beds. All 300 feet of planting beds. 😂 He hates the Lawn Whisperer now.
Funny, I did this 20 years ago when I created my mulch beds in my then new house ... hose, half-moon edger, seemed like a good way to do it. Do have to be careful though, you could inadvertently nick the hose.
Dont want to nick the hose!! 😏
That'swhatshesaid
That “flopping your hose out” line slayed me.
I was in just the right mood for that one.
So strange that your neighbor doesn’t know you have a utube channel. Neighbors just aren’t as nosy as ours were back in the ‘70’s😂😂😂
Your lawn is beautiful! I'm learning, thank you! ❤ your reaction to the neighbor😂.
“That’s what she said!” I love it! 😋
I really like it, it looks so nice and clean. I hate the black plastic that goes around the bed that some people put and I hate bricks more. This is the best and looks so natural. Black mulch next to green grass looks beautiful.
I subscribed at “that’s what she said” 🤣🤣🤣 your neighbor cracked me up
😂
Same here! I was cackling before then when he whipped his hose out.
Terreece Clarke I came for the lawn tips and am staying for the comedic value. Plus the tips. 🤣
@@ashleykessler5003 just the tips? 😎
The Lawn Whisperer just for a little bit.
That was really cool man. I've seen those blade cutters in Lowe's, Home Depot, etc, never knew what they did. I've got about 20 feet of a uneven lawn edge I'm going to try this on. I was going to install a mower strip to keep it clean, but I think this would be much better (and much cheaper) alternative. Everyone has a mower strip, but not many have a clean line like you demonstrated. Good stuff, thanks sir!!!
"All I'm doing here is flopping my hose out" Yeah... perfect wording I died lol
Looks great there's nothing better than a nice crispy Edge
☀️ Your neighbor stole the show!! 😂🤣 I need to go find my Corona bed edger tomorrow and get to work! 🤩. Great video!
Get to work man!!! Thank you!
Great clip on doing the edge. If your handie at welding I modified my half moon shovel by adding a piece of flat metal on one side of the shovel so all I do is push the blade along the edge and the added piece of metal floats on top of the grass as the blade cuts or scraps the edge. The metal I added is at a 90 degree of the blade and I bolted it on so the shovel can be used normally.
Looks nice but you are much younger, and got a hell of more energy that I have! Give me a Stihl gas power edger, and get my old ass in the house A/C as soon as heavenly possible!!
Thank u! We have that half moon tool, but obviously didn’t know how to use it properly and go back around another time like you showed in the video. I have a whole yard to do with brand new mulch beds everywhere so this will help it look really sharp. Thanks again.
“Don’t flop your hose out in public.”
Good advice, that.
Stumbled on your CZcams channel...who would of thought edging beds would get my attention. I need to get one of those ½ moon edgers. Love the channel you got me. Thanks.
Subscribed after the "that's what she said" comment.
First sawthis technique years ago. So much nicer that rocks, pavers, edging material!
Second, the faces you made when your neighbor pulled up was priceless. 😂
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you so much. Simple. I am a novice. I am off to buy my shovels and try it. I just purchsed my weed eater. This is so helpful.
I just picture you sitting in your kitchen eating breakfast and your neighbour looks in your window and says what are you eating something?
I used this on one small area in my yard and it looks great! Before i saw this i just took my edger and went around with with no design or shape to it and didnt look so good. wroked well thanks!
Lawn looks awesome -- thanks! Your straight-forward easy-going manner is clear to understand, and quick tips (without a full background explanation) make it easy to stick with the video. I was only going to watch a few minutes to get the gist, but the added humor and unplanned cameos by the neighbor and your daughter keeping it real kept me watching. Neighbors always have a comment, and the kids and pets always end up under foot. Just had to subscribe.
Thank you so much. I just purchased a half moon edger and I'm about to go to town on the lawn 😄
“Ya taking pictures” 🤣
The best advice I've ever seen for ANYTHING !
Got my updoot for your "that's what she said" comment.
Your lawn looks great!
Thank you for your great video... you have explained it so well that is exactly how my sister did my edge. I have never used 2 tools to edge Great method.. it does make for heavy bags when you edge but that is ok.. I had to use at least 2 for mine. YOUR neighbor is Halarious.. and very friendly.. You are lucky to have a good neighbor.
You had me at “that’s what she said”
Same 😂
🤣
I agree laying a hose out as a guide is my method too - the stiffer the hose the more gradual the curve so I actually like a rather stiff hose...
Yep 😉
That’s what she said!🤣
😁😳🤣😂😂
When your neighbor pulled up and your facial expression was EVERYTHING....LMAO :-) :-)
so unnecessary tho
@@husher5142 I think it was uncalled for as well
Thanks for share I’m new in this country and I need to learn how protect and maintain my lawn and your make it easier for me.
I really appreciate your time and I’m so glad to found your channel.
Lawncare and a "that's what she said!" joke. I found my latest subscription.
Love it!!!
It looks great bro thanks for taking your time and teachIng it step by step
I’m getting ready to redo my mulch beds this week, but I’m using pavers. I love how you used the hose to lay out your design. Great video, as always!
Make some grass shirts with all your catch-phrases on them. "So fresh" "So crafty" haha
Just placed an ad. "Looking for a halfmoon edged certified lawn guy...must not dig out dirt first round" 🤣
I wish I had a friendly neighbor like yours!
Looks good man, I gotta get my hands on a half moon edger. The flat head shovel doesn’t do it.
Your edges look great! What do you recommend for clean edging when you have nice size maple trees that have large roots at surface level, which makes this type of edging very challenging?
I used stakes which made my edge both easy to move and view from a distance.
"WHUTCHA DOIN TAKING PICTURES?? " # dead LOL (I subscribed)
Thank you señor lawn whisperer… everything looks legit 👀😳😜😜if I see someone working in sandals 🩴 I simply don’t trust them… great werk… I will continue following your channel for more amazing tips and videos …Gracias!!!!
Neighbor- “Dang kids and their CZcams videos” 😂
😂 exactly!
I love interaction with your neighbor.
😂
“You’re out taking pictures?” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Im dead!!!!
LOL! Thank you for the "That's what she said!" remark! I cannot resist them either when the moment arises!
How dare your neighbor drive into his own driveway and live his good life? 😂
Landscape shovel is the tool of choice.
"Flopping my hose out" 😂
Half moon edger is my absolute favourite garden tool! I just wish I had discovered it years earlier than I did!
Hahaha! "Don't flop your hose out in public." aannnddd the never tired, "That's what she said." Ilmao!
Wow What a super video - you really made your beds/grass look wonderful and with that edging and you made look a little that a newbie could do and was happy that you show the tools and how to use them.i agree that a natural is awesome.
