Better off getting metal landscaping edgers to keep the grass out.

This is great. I just spent the past few month clearing out all the shrubs, bushes, trees that were in front of the windows in front and back. I believe they were probably plantrd in the 70's so it was.a huge under taking. Now I just want a clean space with a few pots for color. I wasnt sure how.tonget started and your clip has really.answered a lot of questions. Thank you

There is no silver bullet and this might work if you have a certain soil type and grass type. So Check your soil type. If it crumbles and is loose this wont work. If you have soil that has a bit of clay this might work and will hold shape. As someone pointed out there are grass types or weeds that tend to propagate through long horizontal runners . Therefore this wont work with certain grass types .So check the type of grass beforehand.

you're right about it not holding shape is some soils.. even on the same property sometimes.. this is often a very effective method of stopping a lot of grasses from getting into beds though

You can use a line trimmer each week to create a good line, regardless of the soil type. The roots hold the soil back.

True regarding soil type. Disagree on horizontal runners from grass. The whole point is to create an environment that stops the runners. Basically air pruning with that extremely defined, deep edge. If someone were to fill in that edge with mulch, the grass could indeed come through into the bed.

I mean, just a flat shovel for the initial edge cut. And then hit it with the trimmer you already have each week you cut the grass. No need for another few hundred on tool/attachment. The maintenance/sharpening on something like that would be crazy.

Top work. Looks great

I do this with my weedeater

Rest in peace the sharp edge on those rotary clippers. I always just use a string trimmer for this, and use the rotary scissors for getting around trees and concrete.

This only works with very stable soil. Otherwise the edge deteriorates very quickly. Rain, wind, erosion and lawnmower wheels just waiting to ruin your sharp edge.

Amazing.. thanks for this video..😊

Id recommend once in spring for first cleanup and once in fall at final. But once a year works as well.

I edge to these videos

I would love to do that but fear the massive rainstorms we get here in Midwest. When I see the video playing, the only thing I can think of is a mudslide party for the animals.

Dig it all out add metal edging and tamp the first few inches of soil before you rebuild the bed. Only way to not have to do it in the forseeable future

Beautiful!

As long as the land doesn't slope toward your house. Foundation washing out or flooding.

If you don't have an edger, you can do the maintenance with a sideways weed whip too. Worked landscape for 6 years, have still never used an edger somehow.

Nice edging

Can u show your edge after mowing please?

Where can I get that edger from that You used at the end of the video?!

Don’t make the edge too deep because your lawnmower will drop into it and cut your grass if you’re not careful.

Use preen too

So, edge it every week? Thx 🤦🏼‍♂️

Now fill it up with mulch!

Let me know when you need an ankle brace

The end result is really dependent on what type of grass species you have. If the grass type has thick stolons, they will appear even inside the border or at random places; if your grass like Kikuyu has runners, then good luck having to do that every time.

Mulch has several purposes, one of them is to prevent unwanted growth. If any plant starts to grow then you just pull it up before it is firmly rooted.
