- You don't need a $300 gas-powered edger to create a clean and even sidewalk edge. You can quickly do it by hand with a few cheap tools.
One great option is the Ames Sawtool Edger: amzn.to/2ZFTzZv

All you need is a flat edged shovel, a broom and maybe a half-moon or sod cutting shovel to give your walkways and cement paths and professional looking edged lawn.
First, you'll want to cut through the grass using a bladed edger (like the Ames one listed above) or a sharp shovel.
Next, you'll need to remove the excess soil and grass with a shovel (a square flat shovel works best in this case) and then use a broom (or even a power washer) to clean up the last bits of grass, soil and sod.
It doesn't take very long but it does take a little bit of hard work depending on how long of a pavement you have to edge.

Tie a string to a few nails that are driven into the ground along the REAL edge of the sidewalk and the grass. You can see this by walking about 40 feet away and looking along the edge of the property for at least 100 feet or more.
Then just cut inside or outside the line whichever you prefer.
EXCELLENT! Thank you. Think i'm just going to purchase these tools rather than rent an edger this weekend.
If you don't have much sidewalk or curbing it might be okay. But if you have alot, that's going to take forever. Sure, a good gas edger may cost some money but they can be a real time saver and produce the best results possible and you cannot put a price on saving or buying yourself some time because time is a valuable and precious thing.
Good video. Another hand tool that can cut turf quickly is a sod hand saw. I’ve pulled damp grass free of concrete as I saw through the turf. I used a 8-10” Sthil (sp) landscaping saw with a wooden handle. A “V” shaped hand tiller can also dig edger trenches. Home now has much longer concrete runs and Sthil edger blades significantly improved the performance of a 2-cycle Toro on edger duty.
Definitely not "quick".
But cheap
no quick way to edge but it is cheap to do. if u do it urself.
Maybe not the best or fastest result but exactly what I wanted to know. My lawn and pavement looks the same, Uk?
man, what a mess. Sidewalk looks good.
Man I'd get a pair of work gloves and boot if i were you, I don't know where you live but here in texas ants will bite the hell outa ya
I was just in Texas and was walking around barefoot, always do in here in Ohio, and my feet felt like they were on fire! Of course it was ants, ouch :'(
Man i tell ya, i went to put some fire ant killer on some mounds that popped up in my yard and i went and poked one because I thought it was dead and about 30 of em crawled right up my arm and some tried goin up my boots
