How Do You Buy A Lawn Edger?
Grass always grows beyond its soil, overlapping to narrow sidewalks and driveways. A lawn edger keeps the grass trim while making clean and distinctive cuts at the walk or drive. . The various edgers you’ll find all do the same thing; however, more features make the job easier. Step 1 Determine the type of edger to buy–lighgweight electric, rechargable battery, gas powered or manually operated. Step 2 Buy a suitable gas engine. A 4-cyle engine has separate oil and gas compartments, delivering more horsepower, while a 2-cycle engine has less horsepower and requires you to mix the oil with the gas. Step 3 Select the model by blade size. They range between 7 and 10 inches with adjustable settings averaging 1 to 4 inch depths. Step 4 Choose a manually operated rotary lawn edger or step edger. The rotary model does the job with a self-sharpening blade and 48-inch handle that you push; you step on the step edger like a shovel as you walk it along the edge. Step 5 Pick according to terrain.
