CLEAN EDGES using ONE simple tool / Edge Beds like a PRO

[@carolmathews2455]

Absolutely terrific video! I am a widow, and have been struggling with my yard for years. My husband used to take care of it, and I always did the flowerbeds, but he always took care of the edges. I still have not conquered the string trimmer, but I’m working on it, you’re a great communicator and I so appreciate this video. My yard has Hope and so do I.!!

[@Liz21988]

Awesome! I just wish my husband is as excited as you are about doing yardwork!

[@waynesilva3129]

When I was a young teenager. My dad would ask me to do some yardwork. Dad, you want me to do what? You have to be kidding! At 70 I enjoy the yardwork. It's relaxing.

[@wyattthacker3679]

Happy men are those that have learned to enjoy hard work due to its high reward.

[@davem6685]

Same here! Funny how that is.

[@hypeflexington7081]

It's relaxing bc it's a mindless task in which you see instant results for your work.

[@Kari-jm5gs]

Nice job! I love that you pat the grass when talking :)

[@kristinas5196]

I hated yard work when I was younger. My parents had to pay me to mow the lawn. I actually think my family took bets to see if I was going to do my own yard work or hire someone when I bought my 1st house. 😂 I actually like doing yard work & taking care of my flowers. It is relaxing, it took me 30 yrs. 😊 ✌💙🌻

[@7LAMPSofFIRE]

Sir, I don't think you truly realize how great a video for gardening this is. The singing & chirping of the birds adds in my opinion, remarkable great value to your instructional gardening landscape video. Of course it goes without question, the lawn grass and neighborhood itself. Lol!

[@TheLawnWhisperer]

In a world where I get a lot of hate on my videos, your comment is extremely appreciated. Thank you for stopping by and watching, and for the good words!

[@barbarajansen4912]

I'm a lady homeowner and your tips are giving me the confidence to do my own landscaping. Todays landscapers want a $100 an hour. Even as a professional in the lab business, I never made that kind of money! So, since I need the exercise and no man around to do it for me, your tips will be put into good use!!

[@andrewbos8837]

The hourly rate is for an employer who has workers on the books pay workers comp …. Super high insurance for vehicles…. Maintenance… overhead…. And is themselves trying to make an honest living….other option is a hack with a truck and mower

[@scuba6797]

Id go with the kid with a mower and weed wacker and pay him 40 bucks. Someone saying they have to over charge because they have other expenses is BS. If someone is rich and obsessed about their lawn feel free to pay $100 a week to get your lawn mowed. X4 a month 400 a month. 1 paycheck a week of yours would go to someone doing your lawn work. As an employer you could charge $40 bucks. $20 an hour for the worker and you take $20. But you have 20 guys working and they each give you 20 bucks per lawn just for having the business. Problem is the employer just wants to pull home 1 million at the end of the year in profits. Smarter to not go with big company who is claiming they are just trying to make a living. I know landscaper owners they make a ton. It's their workers who are just trying to make a living but they don't even get half of what the employer is charging for the lawn. So best go for the hack with a truck and a mower you pay for what you get and are not paying for the Maintenance, insurance, etc.... of the big company.

[@johnwilcox4078]

Are you referring to a 2 person crew? If so, that sounds about right, although it's still too high for me!!!

[@shangrilaladeda]

Get a man

[@shortslongsandeverythingel5947]

Yeah I’m sure as a lab tech you never worked like a slave… you ever finish a job and can’t work for three weeks because your body is failing from exhaustion because no one will show up for 30$ an hour and all while mowing like 40 clients a week. And it’s 100$ an hour plus gas lol. It is funny though because the only people that ever complain about price bought there house in like 97 and seem to forget that it is no longer 1997. Mulch jobs rn are really funny to bid because cost increased nearly double since before the pandemic. Truck doesn’t run on water and if I ever want to buy a house of my own I can’t make 20$ an hour owning my own business. I guess that’s the difference you don’t see is you didn’t own the lab you just worked there.

[@diannecass880]

I love that you pull the weeds..no chem! Great job..thanks!

[@reneegibson8650]

Who knew a lawn edging video could be so interesting! The ground level views were so clever and helpful, and your appreciation of a well edged garden was very entertaining.

[@DennisMathias]

I can tell you have a special relationship with your garden. You've developed a relationship with it. Good for you.

[@hualaanbaaching-ching1527]

Love it too. I was about to go to Lowe's to buy some ugly metal barriers but I'm going to do this instead. Thanks!

[@mahi-ai-kalo]

Excellent video! I've been doing my beds this way for about 12 years. People always ask me how to do it. Now I will refer them to your videos. Like you said, my beds have not migrated into the yard. Looks AWESOME! 💯🤙🏼

[@tripleseven8361]

An added benefit, is that you can use the pulled out grass, that has grown within the bed itself, to fill in holes and gaps in your lawn, wherever required.

[@1manmanythings144]

Subscribed, if only for the fact that i thought i was the only one who talks about having nice crispy lines in my lawn

[@theaveragesoldier1029]

A tip i can share to make this job easier is to do after a rain fall, mow prior and edge the bed to find your lines and trim any bushes before laying down new mulch. Blow out the beds prior to laying new mulch and be prepared to mow with a bag after the job is done. Great video!

[@wm005]

I started using this method last year. Love the look and cuts the spread of grass into the flower beds by 85 to 90 Percent. Thanks for the tip...

[@SacOrcas]

Awesome vid...thanks for the tips. Recently retired and finally have the time to make my yard more "crisp". Supplies already ordered so I'll be watching your channel for more tips. Some of my neighbors need to watch this channel! 🙂 Thanks again!

[@TheMarymarymary]

Lol about the neighbors 😂

[@mollypitcher9380]

2:19 ***** That’s how you know how far to go down into the soil! AND you explained WHY it’s 4” - to prevent the weed roots from traveling into the garden…for very practical reasons, not just cosmetic! 🌸🌸🌸

[@HadassahHaman]

Just watched this video again for review because... we made a residential move, re-built our vegetable garden, and I'm now working on the exterior perimeter of the garden, creating the natural edge border. This video was informative and helpful, and I LOVE the music!😊 Thank you again!❤

[@stephc5983]

Great job recording-really liked how you got down into the yard and flower bed to show what to look for. TFS

[@rmb5858]

[@rebeccamckenzie5037]

I love it too. You do a beautiful edge & you explain it better than anyone I know, Thank you! Can't wait to re-do my edges. 😊

[@philisbramlett6890]

I've watched your 'CRISPY VIDEO ' Several times and had it perfectly set ! I have tools as you do . My mistake was asking for a little help explaining the technique a nd demonstrating the same . I left to do the next bed close by and did not discover the mishap until 3 days while " pulling all those weeds out of my newly fully planted up cottage garden I had started 2 yrs . ago . What a mess , pulling back new sod just to remove all the crawling weeds invading it . Pure sadness and physical pain was overwhelming . He declined helping due to back . I am with spinal fusion using a gait belt just to walk but , I stand , bend , dig , crawl , transplant ,mostly pray 🙏. Then I watch your video again . Thank you so much . ❤ I appreciate CRISPY . Even if I have to do it on my own I can't wait for morning to come . If pain overwhelms , I go to my garden of colors first and rest my mind there . Your videos bring that 🌈 thought of inspiration and intent . I find GOD 'S Peace in all my Gardens and this strengthens me . Thank you . I'll be watching

[@bobclark6703]

I find it best to edge the lawn after a good rainfall as it makes it so much easier.

[@cutley2b]

I have been watching many videos on garden beds and edging since, with my new house, I inherited about 15 small circular beds 😢. Am ready to buy the half moon edger BUT I just wanted to THANK YOU for the tip on using the weed wacker about “…if your motor spins clockwise, walk this way…” . In all the years I’ve used a wacker I’ve NEVER even thought of that. Was always upset with grass being thrown into flower beds.

[@lulululululululululululululul]

As a 27yo lady I never thought I’d fall in love with lawn care lol a great video I’m always coming back to!

[@TheLawnWhisperer]

[@westernbelle7873]

I just turned 30 and I’m in love with lawn care now too. Just planted 3 blueberry bushes and going to make them a garden bed tomorrow! 😂 life is good in the garden.

[@bryantcullen1377]

This is exactly how I do mine. Always looks awesome. Keeping the angled trim up every week is the key to making the next spring easy.

[@KG-sy2vs]

Great video and those are proper edges 👍 critical for keeping the mulch in and giving the string trimmer a guide to quickly maintain that sharp look like when you first cut them. In harder soil, it is definitely worth renting a bed edger to create the initial edge, then maintaining this way is a breeze every year. I give you props for being the first person I've seen ever use the half moon👍 never found anything better than my serrated garden spade especially with having so many properties heavily wooded here in the Northeast. And I keep it lightly filed to maintain sharpness during mulch season. Edging is an art. When you are good you can cut a brand new bed without even spraying a line or laying a hose. I love it!!! And then the look after the first time you lay mulch in that new bed is awesome! So much fun!

[@troylindsey1444]

I've been doing this for years and love it. The tough part is cutting in when you have lots of big tree roots. It's a lot of work but it is still worth it in the long run.

[@johnduffy6546]

Can't beat the ole tried and true half moon edger!. My Grandma taught me how to do this 60 years ago and it still works great today....

[@kumu2613]

was looking for help on edging and found your channel. It is nice to to see simple tools being used so that we can attempt the same. Not overwhelming! Thanks. Subscribed 😊

[@davidrice52]

This is the only way I’ve done my bed edges since I graduated UGA with a degree in landscape architecture in 1982! Currently designing a nature walk, but too many major roots to go this route, so I’m bearming up my edges with soil and will fill in with mulch.

[@MichaelRusso-k9j]

Your tip on purchasing a half moon edger was helpful. I have two areas by the shed that need to be edged as a future project but for now I'll be planting on my land. Your edging was very well done very clean & neat really perfect.

[@TheLawngineer]

Edges are nice and deep! Coming in with the V-Cut from the bed towards the edge is exactly what I needed to know! I didn’t do that and the mulch is at the same level as the grass. Impossible to string trim without throwing mulch everywhere!

[@TylerTheIT]

Thanks to you and the Lawn Rebel, this is how I just worked at cutting the edge of my very first mulch bed in. I'm new to the plant game, but *somewhat* experienced and confident enough with my lawn game. 😎 So thank you for the tips and helpful hints to get this incredible crispy look. 👌

So awesome to see a young guy doing this by hand!!!! You give me hope. Where I live in NC I cannot even find a teenager to PAY to come use my 2 mowers to mow one acre (my own son stopped doing because "he doesn't like to sweat"). I'm 70 and still weeding by hand and doing all my landscaping & mowing.

Is there any other way? Been doing it around the same amount of time as you.

That edge came out super crispy, love it!! I’m planning to do an overhaul on my front yard landscape and most videos I’ve watched incorporate a stone wall to divide the lawn and bed which I really don’t wanna do and this confirms I don’t need to☺️ thanks for sharing!

It looks great! I'm going to buy one of those half moon shovels! At 112 pounds I can't even jump on a shovel to get it go in! I'm sure the neighbors all get a laugh watching me get anything done out there. We have river rock. Beautiful when I hired it done, not too pretty right now.

[@Baribrooks]

Yes, this is also my problem! Not weighing enough to get the darn shovel to go anywhere! I imagine my soil could use some amendments too.

[@johnwilcox4078]

Wow, it's good to see someone else doing what I do! I do use my flat blade spade and half-moon edger. I also have a gas driven power edger instead of a string trimmer. And for mulch, I use cocoa bean husks. It's a knockout look and easy to maintain once established!

[@countrified79]

I'll be taking up on these pointers!!! I have always found edging so hard to prefect but this seems so much easier..

[@TheLawnWhisperer]

A nice clean edge makes all the difference!!

Love the video! I was always a half moon edger guy but switched to a 46” Fiskars D Handle Garden Spade. About $35. It is way, way faster and produces a great edge with way less effort.

Thanks I will order one on Amazon. Been using half moon for many years but can't wait to try this. Thanks again!

Thanks for posting. I actually saw your video last year, and wanted to make some around my house.. even bought the half moon tool in Amazon- but of course, I didn't even start. But I'm hoping to get enough inspiration on your new mulch bed video to finally start on mine. :)

I love how you really love the job. makes me love it to. Keep the passion
