[@spatulaman2753]

Came here for a lesson on edging instead found about gardening.

[@acreslawncare]

😅😅

[@Timson254]

Haha - beat me to it! Great minds 😂

[@AngusHenry09]

You are so talented sir !!! Always wondered how English gardens became so gorgeous, now I know. You are looking quite dapper sir.

[@acreslawncare]

Many many thanks

[@MyMike509]

Beautiful! I used to use the half moon, but am lazy now and use a garden hose to mark the curves/shapes and a foldable garden saw - and saw right against the hose. :)

[@bonniejackson7476]

Someone else mentioned clay soil. I have the same. You need to edge after rain otherwise it’s impossible. I’ve found once you have edged ( I do a wider edge because I have Bermuda grass) that it’s always easier there after.

[@barbaramcnair5463]

I love the way you edge. I need to edge a circle around my red twig dogwood plants. Sure could use your help in my yard. Unfortunately, I live in New York state. Thanks for the master class.😊

[@acreslawncare]

Thank you and thanks for watching!!

[@peggysartoris7371]

[@acreslawncare]

Thanks 👍 lovely comment 😀

[@lynnmunday4940]

Have a great time at Disney Land! Long handled lawn edging shears are the best, I could use them all day, very therapeutic. Great tutorial, lovely neat edge.

[@acreslawncare]

Thank youuu!

[@Kristhedish]

Thanks very much. I had been using my edger to score and also as a spade and wondered why it was so choppy. Glad I didn’t toss it.

[@acreslawncare]

Glad it helped!!

[@KathleenAhart]

I have been wanting to get that done. It's raining today and this weekend. I am going to get at it on Monday. Enjoy Disney!! Thanks for the great tips.

[@acreslawncare]

Thank you and thanks for watching!!

[@abmoralesrosado]

I so love watching you explain your work! Watching you press that cut closed made me realize that grass really is hardy and that I don’t have to be afraid of hurting it lol! 😂❤

[@acreslawncare]

Thanks for watching!

[@franceshurt3517]

Nice little lesson re edging for manicured lawns, if you lived in my world you would see the homour in the lesson, cheers!!!🥰👍👍👍

[@acreslawncare]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ginak921]

That looks lovely and neat now and i was amazed how much grass there was underneath those plants.

[@acreslawncare]

Thank youuu!

[@CKnox-wm6ge]

Nice one, Alex; you’re great at teaching/demonstrating garden tasks. Thanks!

[@acreslawncare]

I appreciate that!

[@jmcqueen7355]

You make it look so easy! I have one of those tools but my edge doesn't look like that. Well done.

[@russashton3420]

Keep it razor sharp & angle the cut back in towards the grass so the edge doesn't collapse when mowing

[@danajhasalvegas5819]

Love your gardens you work in. You English has lovely garden's...well done on the tidy up

[@acreslawncare]

Thank you so much 😊

[@bunnytoes7200]

Fantastic tutorial. Now 70 I never knew those narrow square lawn tools are called spades nor what they are fore. I’ve always used a rather more pointy “spade followed by the edging tool. Definitely must upgrade my garden tools. Thank you!

[@kimberly4120]

[@darlinemcginity8996]

Thank you for showing me how to edge the lawn. I don’t have the proper tools in the way that I was doing it has been wrong. I would like a cleaner edge then the one I’ve been doing. First I need to invest in the tools that would help.❤

[@grumpy_poo]

Tip.... I can't use the long handled tools due to health issues ( bad back and hips, I can't bend) ...I garden on my hands and knees. I have edged my (not too shabby ) lawn with a wide bladed wallpaper scraper ( sharpened ) , string to mark the curved bit, length of wooden batten for the straight bit ..... took a bit of time but got it done. Sometimes you don't need all the expensive tools, edging is not something you will be doing all the time. All the lovely grassy bits cut off make great compost. This chap is a specialist so he has the kit.

[@djh2015]

Your edges always look perfect and professional, so I'd say you are a professional edger!! Hair looks great, too, btw!! You handsome man you.!!

[@acreslawncare]

Thank you so much!

[@markluke8447]

Excellent job.

[@anniegaddis5240]

Looks great. Thanks for the teach!

[@auricaster5582]

En effet, les bons outils et l'ingénieux coup de main, c'est juste super. Merci.

[@acreslawncare]

Thanks 👌

[@joycalabrese4349]

Nicely done!

[@THETATTOOGARDENER83]

Got to love abit of edging really defines the look of a garden 👌🏼

[@susanbilton9359]

All these tools I didn’t understand before! 🤩

[@carolgadles7045]

Smooth as silk, 5 ✨✨✨✨✨ edging !!!!!

[@susiepaddock3293]

I use a garden hose to play around with the shape till it looks right then use the edger right along the hose (& haven’t cut a hose yet)

[@andeebee2530]

Beautiful job!

[@acreslawncare]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@susanagomez955]

Spring/Summer trimming (even in your hair that is so good) For the trimming so so nice lesson, thanks so much!!!

That was lovely, looks so good. Please take care

[@ldqa2737]

Thank you! I use a 2×4 to get a straight edge. I struggle with curves. This helps! 😎👍

[@acreslawncare]

Glad it helped 😃

[@judysmith2262]

Lovely! What brand is your half-moon edger?

[@stephenk4834]

You make it look so easy. Wish I could do it like that. Great job. Enjoy Disneyland.

[@acreslawncare]

Thank you and thanks for watching!!

[@gingerlygingerlee3023]

Thank you for the video. Have a wonderful blessed time at Disneyland!

[@acreslawncare]

Thank you! Will do!

[@slowmarchingband1]

I see a lot of guys using the edging tool with the 'lip' facing towards them, but I use it like you're doing here. Seems much easier to create a curve like that, lip facing away.

[@acreslawncare]

Yeah defiantly easier this way!!

[@elainekayes8087]

another great job Alex nice haircut x

[@acreslawncare]

Thank you 😁

[@herobrinenoch3522]

Greetings from Australia. Glad to see a new vid, even though I don't edge, LOL

[@acreslawncare]

Thanks for watching!

[@Oakcitymedia]

How do you sharpen your moon shovel? Mine lost its sharpness.

[@acreslawncare]

Angle grinder just run a edge 😀

[@leslie5646]

[@acreslawncare]

Gary has moved on unfortunately! Thanks for watching!

[@annrae1597]

I've done my edges like that ,then when I cut the grass the one side of my mower goes lower on the soil and I get a scraped lawn on the edge..not pretty anymore..how do you cut the lawn right next to the ditch?

[@acreslawncare]

Years of practise I guess. But your right, that can happen! Just strimming the edges might be easier if you dont want the risk!

[@davidmckee2898]

You need to raise that little bit of the lawn

[@johnwiddowson7240]

Get one with a rear roller and pull it backwards

[@kathymurphy7026]

Beautiful job

[@acreslawncare]

Thank you! 😊

[@vanessablain6662]

So what do you do with the sods you take off. We are not allowed to put them in garden refuse or in any other waste

[@michellejennings4259]

❤ your tips

[@216000950]

New to your channel , so this question may have already been asked , What is that hand tool ,the L shaped tool you are using and where can it be acquired? Thank you

[@dianakenney2963]

Very informative, but instead of cutting further out to keep the lavender happy , cut the lavender back in August which will keep it tidy and save re -edging.

[@Energyflash1979]

What could I do to fill in edging if I were to reduce the boarders?

[@carlgallagher6325]

Enjoy Disneyland! Quick Q, over time if I am to use the half moon edger (even once a year to crisp up the line) does it eat into the over all lawn? I basically mean after 10+ years will I be losing lots of my lawn space, if not why? Thanks!

[@acreslawncare]

Yes it will keep eating sway at your lawn if you take too much off at a time. Add a bit of soil and seed if need to bring it back in!

[@lindadempsey2468]

Curious as to what you do with the waste?

[@johnwiddowson7240]

Use the edgeing spade for straightlines For curves use a normal spade as it has a built in curve

[@parvatikisun1872]

Thank you

[@Gangstergranny1950]

Brilliant

[@junejackson7958]

Looks great

[@acreslawncare]

Thanks!

[@silkedavid8876]

I had always wondered about the tool, it is a razor hoe! Internet search suggests it is from Japan, I once had the opportunity to use a small japanese saw, brilliant tool! Might have to invest into a razor hoe!

[@acreslawncare]

Thanks for sharing!

[@lisegilliland2352]

Just wondering why you don’t remove some of the soil attached to the grass you pull up.

[@acreslawncare]

It is not worth the effort to remove it from the roots alot of the time!

[@debrasharples208]

Good job

[@barbkeil-burton6894]

Hi Alex, 😉 I just Love Watching You Use Your Tools to Get a Perfect Curved Edge!!👨‍🌾 I Too, Think Your Attractive!!

[@philshaw439]

Use a hosepipe to get the lawn edge alignment and then cut along that line with the edging tool.

[@susandmarie2067]

🌀🌀💛. I like the natural edge as you’ve done. The new gardener that I have working with the yard does something similar for which I am grateful. Not a real fan of the wood trim at the edge of lawn that is used. Thank you for showing your method.🌀🤗👍✔️

I had lovely clean edges to my lawn. Until the moles ruined them.

[@Lwimmermastermetalart]

That’s great and looks good, unfortunately it doesn’t last. Mother Nature will move it and you soon won’t see that nice drop off.
