5 Tips to Edge a Lawn with a String Trimmer Like a Pro

My mom just bought her first home with a lawn and I don’t have a dad, so I came here to learn. Thanks dad

I'm so dumb.. all this time I've been wondering why it's so much harder to edge the side of my yard that's against my neighbor's driveway. This video made me realize that it's because I'm going against the rotation of the string.

ALWAYS WEAR GLASSES I know a guy who almost lost his eye weed whacking. great tips, you can tell these guys are the real deal

I've been doing it wrongly and taking forever. That feeling of not being sure, is agonizing. I've followed your tips and come back to thank you. 👍 Thank you.

Great informative video! Another benefit of acquiring this skill is saving money on an edger when you already have a string trimmer.

Good stuff man, one thing about edging with a string trimmer is remembering to control where debris are being slung by either walking in the grass forward or on the sidewalk backwards to avoid flicking a rock into someones window. I find it to be much more stable to hold onto the shaft of the trimmer rather than the loop handle itself especially in st Augustine turf.

Been trimming my lawn for decades and found this helpful

You guys are absolute dolls! Great video! Very clear and I am supposed to teach my nephew to edge and I have never done it or seen it done. I feel confident now. Taking your tips to work tomorrow. I was scared and now I’m not. Simple as that! Thank you so much!

Followed all 5 tips and weedeating is now much easier! Your tips are spot on!! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing these tips! Jason, I had never observed anyone edging with a string trimmer until discovering your channel years ago. Saves me so much time now! Great work gentlemen

THANK YOU for this video!!! Man... you guys are extremely helpful. Im 39 yrs old and just now learned how to edge with a string trimmer thanks to you guys. Just mowed, so now about to finish my cig, have a toke, and try out these pro tips. Thanks yall you effin rock! Very well done video, very clear and concise and helpful :))) Update: this video is magic. It works! My edges now look better than ever. Awesome! Thanks guys!!! Even with my little 18v ryobi string trimmer p2003 it works!

Jason, just wanted to add a couple of thoughts. I never used to use a guard, but after taking out three car windows, I changed my habit. I just learned to use the trimmer with the guard on it. I can see my object decently, and almost no more windows. I took out my truck window with the guard on, 25 ft away. But so far no more customer windows 🙂 Secondly, on my first edging of the year, I pull out my hard blade edger, run that on my edges, and the rest of the year, I use my string trimmer to maintain the edge. Thanks Jason! 😊

Thank you for the tips, I just used some of them and upped my trim game!

This video was very helpful. Thank you. Just sold my condo and bought a house so now I have to do yardwork for first time since high school

This was helpful! I like the idea of one tool for dual use. Cheers from CA.

Purchased the Worx edger. It so easy and does such a nice job that my wife does it.

Great video. Very informative! Thank you!

Thanks a lot for the lessons its helping me to make our garden looking much better. Best Regards fron San Juan of Puerto Rico.

Needed this video for my guys that have a hard time do it. It’s pretty hard for me to teach it because I do it a different way along with keep the guard on.

Very grateful for this video!
