Today we're taking a few minutes to show you guys how to edge a sidewalk with a string trimmer! Conor is taking the helm showing you guys how he does what he calls a flip edge technique, which allows him to get an incredible finish while edging a driveway.
This technique is what a lot of the pros do when trimming a sidewalk when they don't have time to grab the edger, or they simply don't have a secondary edging tool. You can still get a quality edge and a great finish by flipping the trimmer on it's side, and leaving a mean edge!
What's your guys technique for edging a sidewalk? Do you guys use Conor's flip edge technique, or do you do something different? Let us know in the comments down below!

Been mowing and string trimming since i was 10. i have literally never used a stick edger. always used a trusty weed whacker for everything lawn maintenance. and ill tell you what you guys in Michigan definitely know your grass. That kid is 16 and really does know how to control that weed whacker. I know guys that take years to get that good. and some never do. Honestly so many techniques to a string trimming like connor says. But the most important thing is that when you start on a property that you are consistently doing something from start to finish. Not always about speed. but consistent clean cuts. Honestly wish i had a kid like that on my crew.. hes a beast for his age and really shows a passion for mowing. much respect

I learned how to flip edge when I first started mowing a couple of years ago. It's so much faster and gets a much better result on already established edges. My technique is to have the powerhead under your elbow with it resting on it. It allows me to go both forward and backward and be quite precise with both directions.

Edgit Pro. By far the easiest, fastest, straightest and the crispest lines. I’m surprised that you haven’t tried one of these Brian. I have one trimmer set up with the Edgit Pro spooled with .080 Husqvarna Titanium Force to get even crisper detail. This attachment also makes it easy to trim around light bank work or around utility stations, allowing you to help match the same height of cut of your mower instead of traditional trimming where you may scalp in these areas. By far the best investment for any trimmer.

Beginning of the season or on new edges I use my stick edger with the golden edge blade. All trims after that I use my string trimmer on the concrete side walking forward. I find that when I walk backwards I have a lot of missteps on my part which makes uneven edging. Great video. Very informative.

If you note in the video, he actually has blade edged that sidewalk. No dirt comes up when he trims yet there's a very visible dirt line from where a blade edger did most of the work. If it was truly being edged from scratch, there'd be dirt everywhere and he would've had to change string like 3 times or more.

@user-uh5hf4qx5g 2 месяца назад
This wont edge your lawn. It'll trim the grass near the edge. That's not edging though. Edging literally digs into the root system and provides a very distinct cutoff line for the entire lawn. This video shows you how to trim the fine top layer of grass, leaving a massive amount of dirt and roots underneath completely UNtouched. Which means it's not edging.

Obviously it gives the better result but it doesn't constantly need to be edged with it. No lawn is 100% perfect without weeds, cracks in the sidewalk, road debris, slopes, etc.. it's about maintaining it with a steady hand with a string trimmer.. you still need to string trim regardless so what's the point of this comment?

I put an edge on the initial cut, to establish the trench and line, clean it out really good with the blower, and maintain the edge with the trimmer. In Texas we got that black gumbo clay soil in my area, so if it ever rains the soil expands and I have use the edger again to clean it up.

I'll frequently use a blade edger then go back over it with a string trimmer just to sharpen the edge up. And I think if you're a homeowner you should probably get a blade edger first. String trimming edges requires doing lots of yards for practice, and it's easier to get a consistent result with a blade edger for somebody who doesn't have that many hours to practice and perfect the technique.
@tmoncr1e
@tmoncr1e 2 года назад
Nice job. When I edge, I walk backwards on the sidewalk. It keeps the edge really clean. Also it keeps your edges straight up and down as opposed to cutting from the grass side when you get a slight angle. Either way it's your preference to get the desired look. Always wear safety glasses to protect your eyes.

Yup, I’ve done this for 20 years. Difference is as a homeowner I don’t go nearly as fast, because I’m purposefully trying to dig out a little more soil in that edge for drainage. Plus I’m working with St. Augustine grass which is a wide blade heavy grass, so it’s a little harder on the line. And yes, I do it 95% while standing in the grass and the pavement in front of me. I have the engine high above my shoulder near my ear so ear protection is a must. Cool video!

Hard work is rewarding in so many ways. This dude! I find that when I flip edge my trimmer sometimes stalls out on me cuts because of the tank being flipped upside down while it's running. I have an echo edger too and use it mostly and clean up most of the dirt left behind by the edger with the trimmer, before I blow everything. That's why I always edge first then trim.

I learned to flip edge like Connor. Walking on the driveway/sidewalk. I feel that I have better visibility of where the line is cutting if I am looking at it from this perspective. I'm pretty much holding the trimmer to where its perpendicular to the ground - left hand on the loop handle and right hand controlling the throttle. I find the fast I walk, the more crisp the edge is. It does take some practice to get this down and to see what feels best to you. If any of you are trying this for the first time, be patient and expect to make some mistakes along the way.

Thanks to you and Blades of Grass, I started doing it last year. Or maybe it was the year before that. Best moment was when my wife looked out the window one morning and remarked how good the lawn looked with a sharp edge along the driveway. There's a motel near where I work that has a beautiful garden, regular lawn service, ...and unedged grass growing into the sidewalk and over the curb. I just want to take my edger in one day and clean it up. For some reason, edging isn't done by the lawn services around here (PNW).

Yeah edging does look so good. Maybe they’re just being lazy by not doing it

Great video man! I use an edger in the beginning of the spring and then just maintain it with a trimmer. I flip edge on the sidewalk walking backwards.

I have a Stihl FSA45. It may be Stihl’s low end model, but I love its versatility - the shaft can the rotated & the head pivoted so it converts it from a trimmer to an edger. I mainly use it walking backwards as it’s less harsh on the bump guard, but using it forward cuts it a little neater, with less need for a cleanup.
