I am up late working tonight, and now I'm watching a video about lawn edging.

My wife got one of these at a garage sale for $5. She knew I wanted one, and I did a before and after old blade and new blade. What a difference it makes.

I grew up in a neighborhood where no one ever edged. The grass (mostly weeds) hung over on the sidewalk and you never saw the edge of the sidewalk. Many years later I rented out the house I grew up in. I bought a used B&D Edge Hog and did the first edging ever. It wouldn't work at first and required me to use a flat-edged shovel to chop the overgrowth off. After that, edging was very easy for the Edge Hog. It looked so good, the neighbors took notice and within a few weeks they all started edging too. What a visual difference !

Excellent how-to explanation, very much enjoyed your video. Two things making your video outstanding, 1: music is very nice, 2: when you talked there was not music. In many videos during the time they are speaking they also play music; often the same volume as the presenter. For those of us with hearing difficulties we find it a challenge understanding the presenter. Sir, I tip my hat to you, and your video; thank you for sharing.

Thanks Ryan, your video is exactly what I’ve been looking for to help guide me and get me thru my first time edging, trimming, mowing, etc. You made it look simple enough and I’m sure I’ll do well for a first timer. I will be able to teach my young son to do the same. It’ll be something mom and son can do together. Thanks again.

Your lawn care videos are very helpful! I have learned so much. You speak clearly, show what the viewer needs to see and do a great job editing. Your lawn looks great! Thanks!

I LOVE that EdgeHog! Those things are awesome, just as good as the gas ones, in my opinion. I switched over to a Stihl KM-90R with the edger attachment when I grew my lawn business, but that electric one is honestly just as good.

watching this in 2021 because i magically got my hands on one of these.

Picked this up based on your recommendation. It is really easy to get a clean edge. I tried to do it with the string trimmer and it was really tough to do cleanly. I will still use a string trimmer for trimming weeds and grass near fencing or trees. But this is perfect and affordable. The only complaint if any is that the Black and Decker is pretty light sometimes i lean into it a bit around curved sidewalks.

wtf am i doing, i have a chemistry exam tomorrow..

Just bought the same product from Black & Decker. Turned to your KZfaq Channel to figure out how to use it! Thanks for taking the time to post this, since you're quite the pro! Also, thanks for the tip on waiting until the grass dries! Raining in Toronto!!!!!! Now onto the blade replacement video, you mentioned as part of your post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice job. I use the same edger probably twice a year. The other times I keep it looking good by just turning my straight stick weed wacker upside down and it works great.

Thanks for explaining the little piece that works like a guide at 3:10. I bought one of these at a rummage sale for $5. The blade was shot so I replaced it but I was puzzled what the other piece by the blade was for. I had a few unpleasant moment when the blade hit the sidewalk, scared the crap out of me but thanks to your professional video I'm developing my edging skills and hope to become competent some day.

you are a man after my own heart, and I'm a grandmother in her 70's. Your lawn looks great, love it!!! I edge my lawn but I am going to buy that edger because it cuts so neatly. I like a clean dark edge on my lawn.

I’m buying one. Like leaving the house to go get it now. I’m ridiculously excited!

I fully realize this video has aged a couple years, but I was using the same model successfully for the past 5 or 6 years. I recently, however, invested in a few Greenworks Pro tools that utilize the 60v Max battery system. Their 60v edger surprised me by doing as well as or maybe even better than the B&D model. I have about 160’ of curb to edge as well as about 60’ up one side of the driveway and 50’ down the other side. A single 2.0 amp hour battery can easily edge all that length on a single charge. No more dragging cords around. Thanks for the channel - really enjoy seeing your techniques as well as the new products from time to time.

Great vid. Just about to get into electric edgers so i enjoyed this. Cheers from down under !

Gorgeous lawn. I have the same edger, newer model. Been in the garage for 3 years because I lost the directions. THANK YOU KZfaq AND ALL THAT POST VIDEOS! Fixed my washing machine...now the lawn! #winning #likeaboss lol

I need to get one of those. Nice clean edge at a good price.

I have the same one, older model though. If you bend the cord near the end you can push it through the hole near the handle and around that hook so it won't pull your cords apart

I have the exact same edger love it

Looks great!!!! I have the same edger, i need to use it more.

Make sure you enter that lawn in a beauty contest - it looks great! Nice job on the video.

Good video as usual. Love my Edge Hog. Easy to use and gives as clean and detailed of a cut as any other edger/trimmer.

Great video Ryan. You went the extra mile with your detailed explanation and examples. I really enjoyed your video and I subscribed to all your videos to learn more more from you. Your lawn looks fabulous by the way…

I have used that one for awhile and it does a great job but the cord is a pain. Just recently I went with the DeWalt battery operated one. It is super! I have only done it once so I don’t know anything about long term operations. But right now I am very pleased.

I have a Black and Decker edger just like yours I have been using for years. I have become a fan of yours in the last few weeks and dropped the LAWN CARE NUT. Your lawn looks better than his. Packer Backer Don from Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I love your grass...you did an awesome job!

The lawn looks great! Thanks for making the video!

Beautiful home and lawn. I was just looking at buying one of those and now I am. Thanks!

thanks for your tips. I struggle a little on the curb by the street. I'll try the technique you are using. I have a similar edger. I'll also try trimming the perimeter like you did.

I have the same edger. However, Ryan, YOU are a lawn GOD!!

Looks great! You're definitely DOMINATING your neighbors.

Thank you for your edging video.

I've tried all kinds of edgers. The only way to go is a gasoline powered stick edger. Basically a blade on the end of a pole. It's very east to use and gets the job done very fast.

Great film and exceptional advice I had no idea how and I wanted to get in done before my husband got home so needed this

Very nice. Just got that edger and lawn looks super clean now👍

Watching in 2024 so i can use my Dad’s old, but still well functioning, B&D edger. What a difference!

Well done, very informative video and you see it as it happens. No before and after stuff. Nice job !!!! Glad I came across your post !!!! Do more !!!!!

Looks like a yard straight out of The Stepford Wives movie set.. looks fake it so lush and perfect 😍

Old Ryan Knorr vids are classics.

THE PRO OF THIS IS IT DOES A GREAT JOB AS A MAINTENANCE EDGER OR SLIGHT OVER GROWTH. CON IS THE CONSTANT BUILD UP OF GRASS AND DIRT IN THE GUARD AND ON THE WHEELS. MUST STOP TO CLEAN OUT EVERY 20 FT OR SO.

Excellent presentation! Thank you. Just picked one up. This is a great tutorial.

Can you do a video on how to use it in landscape beds and edges on flower beds etc?

Thank you ,I learn something new today ✌️👍🏻

Upvote for Vikings hat and Wild shirt.

Love the diamond shaped grass cut too, looks like mine ✅✅

I'd love to use this type of device. Works well in a straight concrete drive like yours. Our neighborhood is all asphalt with but such straight lines. Need to account for smaller undulations in the edges with asphalt. So I use a trimmer for the best results!

You have an enviable lawn to be sure. I have a couple corded tools as well and I think you may want to get a larger gauge cord. That curling can be the result of the wires overheating from too small of a gauge for the length and electrical draw.

This is not the edging i was lookin to do but this is cool too

Again, nice work! Thanks for the video.

Anytime I use a weed wacker for trimming, it ends up cutting down to the dirt...

Good job Ryan. Love your videos. Very informative. Your true fan from Cameroon.

Thank you for your video, very helpful review.

With a corded machine, always use a 12/3 cord for a 100-foot range. Start at a place nearer to where you plug in and then work your way out and away so you don't have to trip over the cord.

Your yard looks good.

Do you have a video on replacing the cutting blade?

Thanks! Nice, clear and informative. Lot of work gone into making it, so, appreciate it.

Corded is always my first choice as I don't like to fool with batteries and the cost to replace them is never very inexpensive.

I let my wife talk me into getting rid of my Edge Hog and get a B&W cordless string edger / trimmer. Big mistake. The thing uses up nylon string like it's going out of style, plus, I go through two charged batteries each time. That's a drag. I have a corner lot in a subdivision so there's a fair amount of area to trim, along with edging along the curb. Get that corded Edge Hog with a blade. Dragging an extension cord behind you is no big deal, and do it every two weeks, not once a year. It'll go quick and easy. Good video, Ryan Knorr.

Your camera looks great. Nice work. Thank you.

Thanks for the video! Very helpful.

My Ryobi cordless edger works wonderful

I was hoping you do a flower bed edging

I have that same edger and rarely use it actually. I didn't realize how well it would be to just edge the lawn, as opposed to edging garden beds. I'll have to give another try. I do hate the extension cord need though. I use a battery operated trimmer/edger now (also black and decker) and I have really gotten spoiled with battery operated - makes it so much easier, especially over electric.

I used to have one of these electric ones. I now have the PAS echo with an edger attachment. The only downside of these electric ones is the first time on overgrown edges, it lacks power. You end up "stabbing" back and forth to get through. Once you've edged once and keep up on it they're great. Also, as cheap as the electric ones can be, the proper guage cord and the length needed is expensive. Sometimes can more than double the cost of the machine. If you have other plug in tools, then you can divide the cord cost among the other tool(s). But since getting the echo PAS, I can't think of going back. Yes the edge depth on this electric is nice, but once you edge a few times with the gas one, you get the ability to depth the blade right, and it's more agile on curves and especially garden beds and things like that. But just starting, nothing wrong with electrics. Maybe the machines of today are stronger than the one I had 25-30 years ago too though

Great tips!!

Great video!

You might want to mention having the right cord size for the amperage. Also, did that device have a bigger guard originally?

We purchased the LE750 Edger and Trencher. So far I'm not really happy with it. I wish my old edger had not broke. LE750 does not seem to follow the concrete edge. I have it on the correct guide, and I end up holding our left hand down farther on the pole to put pressure on it to try and get it to cut straight. The top T handle does not appear to line up straight with the handle either. I've used it twice and still not sure it is a keeper. I either end up with a ton of sparks from hitting the concrete or a 2" gap cut off from the concrete.

Looks Good 👍🏾👍🏾

NIce lawn and no weeds. You probably live in an area where you get a fair amount of moisture (rain).

Thank You..... been shopping for an edger. It's driving me Nuts to not have that look!

Ryan, you need to do a video of the organisation of your garage

who's playing the back ground music?

Very well done video. Very professional!!!

Looks picture perfect. The golf course don't have anything up on you.."

I went with a corded black and decker and it's been fine. I got tired of buying gas powered edgers that were too expensive, suck, broke down frequently and required more maintenance. Yea it's a bit of a hassle dragging a cord around, but easier in the long run. I'm good with it.

Watching because I need a trimer and edger don't know what to buy cordless power or gas and hard to decide is corless has much power and don't know about edger I use to have the old style big one

Ryan if your looking to make content on a beginner lawn enthusiasts im in Des Moines swing by!

And now, I will edge this sidewalk that's already been edged.

Nice military lines Mr. Knorr. I just subscribed, like your content.

Nice job, Ryan.

What should one use if sprinkler heads are tight to the cemented areas?

I find using the trimmer is serious business, if you can walk along like that and hold it straight so it doesn't catch and grab and dig in leaving a big friggen divit your good.

Dad mode: expert

good review. im looking to get an edger- thanks. ~JDS/CT

getting one tomorrow

Outstanding!

Need to make a edge trimmer that you can roll down like yours but it cut down and at an angle at same time |/

The edge along one of our walks is very high should we rent a walk behind and bevel it?

Hey thanks brother

The Grass is always greener on The another side

Not sure if that edger is still made the same, my dad bought one probably 15 years ago and it still worked when I got rid of it about a year ago. It should run forever.

Thanks Ryan! All these years I've been using a weed whacker... Oy Vey..

the only Con is corded? That is a major problem. I have not been able to use any corded equipment I have bought or borrowed. I rather deal with heavy gas edger and hassles of not starting.

Redmax HEZ260F you can't beat it.

Ties extension cable in nice fashion instead of putting extension cable in the hook on the edger lol.

I grew up in NY. Our grass was made out of concrete. Now living in FL and I’m trying to learn how to take care of my grass. Can you make a video on how to get rid of weed. I’m paying this company but they are not doing a good job.

Ryan i know this is an old video, but do you use separate tools for edging and trimming? I know they have edging and trimming tools
