Overgrown Lawn Edging FIXED with Cheater Edge, String Trimmer and Stick Edger

Lawn edging along a sidewalk or driveway is usually one of the easiest tasks of mowing a lawn. In this situation, the lawn was overgrown onto the sidewalk. I don't think it has been edged in years. I demonstrate what I call a "cheater edge" which is a technique I use just to get the grass back to where I can see where the actually edge should go. Then I show you how to edge a lawn with a string trimmer. Then I go back and clean it up with a stick edger. It is not nearly this difficult once the edge has been established. Nevertheless, I got job done and it looks better that it has in a while.

Makes me feel better for trying to do my sidewalk, which hasn’t been edged for years.

[@thangknowa2567]

When I edge mine, I carefully load those cuttings in my wheelbarrow with a flat point shovel and plant them in thin spots in the yard. This time of year they just take right off. You can also take a screwdriver and poke a hole in the ground then poke those single shoots in the ground and they grow well, too.

You the best god bless honest I’m 62 been doing it 45 years in Australia 🎉

[@Braves97]

Bro I just started trimming/edging today, your videos been real helpful!

[@tgatt5759]

Why you gotta pick on my lawn like that? 🤣

[@elvinjonesjr4730]

I like your work, I wanted to learn how to string trim a edge. Thank You, for the advice

[@trife78]

Those can be money makers if you price them right. It takes usually 2-3 times longer to clean those up. I usually just use string trimmer. Do the cheater edge, a couple times and regular edge a section at a time.

[@CandBLawnCare]

Those cheater edges drive me crazy. Most guys around here think that’s a finished product. That’s how they undercut prices. I might be a lil more expensive but I edge every week and it looks like a professional did it. That’s my rant. Haha.

Hi Thanks for the demo. Have a great day.

[@mikeandre9903]

Thanks for the great video I have just recently purchased a sidewalk edger like that but it's missing a few pieces and parts but I will get that but now I have a little bit more knowledge on how to use it I don't know some people just use a regular weed eater but you can never have too many Tools in your toolbox👍👍

[@needblinds2592]

Honest I love you man the best in the business

[@treyvonlanwservice6860]

Awesome video bro 👍

[@earthmagic1]

That was some tough looking grass. Great job as usual 🙂

[@curse6of6me6]

"Cheater edge" lol its 110% normal to do it that say then edge after the "cheater edge" amazing it needs a over thr top length video to explain somthing we any human should understand within 30 seconds. Good job

[@RhandellG]

You have the echo speed feed head on there put A rubber washer on it and it will stop the top ring from spinning mine was doing the exact same thing. I love this trimmer. And Job on the video

[@jimmcknight3021]

It looks like it's time to break out the Ventrac tractor with the edger attachment! Lol lol

[@tislar8796]

How do you restore an edge that has been pushed back due to bad edging?

[@ericstinnett9182]

Great video, would it make any difference of have a more powerful edger, with a sharper blade? Thanks

[@Regulated-Liability-Network]

I have a echo stick edger and it might make a slight difference but once you keep on using the edger the outcome will come out the same. I would definitely buy a echo gas edger over this Milwaukee it’s definitely cheaper also.

[@ericstinnett9182]

@@Regulated-Liability-Network Thanks

[@jeremymcclanahan2389]

How many times did you want to happy Gilmore chuck that battery edger in the water

[@Star-Mac10]

Nice demonstration. What kind of weed eater are you using?

[@mikejones-mo8xh]

In situations like this you should charge 3x as much

[@jasonburns9320]

Does the stronger vinegar kill thistles down to the roots?

[@oliver.79]

Please, send the link of the speed feed head.

[@wyattthacker3679]

Is it me or does that thick, dry overgrowth happen in areas where the lawn is near a body of water? There's a river outside of my front yard and I've had the exact same problem when I would edge without a stick edger

[@carlosjesusalicea9871]

How can I start a Lawn Care company? Do I need any permission or license? I just want to cut grass and do the basics. I don't have my own house, I just rent. What equipment do you recommend to start with? I only have $ 1,500.00 to $ 1,800.00.

[@huwop9263]

Are you still needing help?

[@stackzent.tv3]

Push mower weed eater and blower that’s all u need to start and you will have money left over

[@Life-ch8rj]

Note to self NEVER buy a battery power weed eater.

[@Star-Mac10]

Can you share the cons?

[@alphaphysique6625]

@@Star-Mac10 They appear to lack power

[@gr8ful4EPdedhed]

Why would anyone want that battery powered junk. Woulda been done in 2 minutes with a gas edger

[@tylerist8]

I use all battery powered tools for outdoor stuff. Just cheaper to get the same thing for edger. If you keep up with it it works great but I rent a gas power walk behind if mine gets overgrown

[@spf-92.5]

Dewalt 60v is very powerful. I had 2022 30 or 40cc craftsman 4 stroke that was heavy as hell, string head broke with one tap on my rock retaining wall. These two trimmers are the same power but the dewalt hasn’t blown apart and is light.

[@seanhatch4425]

You needed some man powered tools.
