Eco-friendliness Above All
A lawn is a key element of any large mansion or small yard and if you maintain it properly, people around admire you and you feel righteously proud of yourself. That is why you need an edger like the GreenWorks 27032. The electric edger is powered by the 12A engine which is strong enough to cut through the overgrowth and trench the hardened soil. It cuts with a 7.5'' double-edged blade. The front wheel with spring assist allows changing the blade depth and making the edging more accurate. We recommend you to shift the blade deeper so as to prevent its quick wear out and set to cut as much as you need. The tool has a telescopic shaft and attachable adjustable auxiliary handle convenient for people of any height. The edger moves on 3 wheels, so you do not need to carry it around in hands. The weight of 14 lbs makes the GreenWorks 27032 easy to handle. You can easily make borders around the trees in your yard or reach any narrow places. Since the tool works off the mains, it's best suited for use on mid-size lawns, for on bigger lawns the length of the cord won't be enough. The edger has an integrated cord lock preventing accidental disconnections.

Its universal 3-in-1 design allows using the tool for almost all possible works on your lawn.

Taking its two wheels into account, you will be able to use it without getting tired. The battery-powered design of this appliance provides a number of advantages. The motor starts with a single push of the button. You do not have to pull a starter string like the on gas-powered tools. The telescopic shaft and the absence of a power cord make this edger extremely maneuverable. You can take it with you wherever you want and use it there. The battery charge lasts for 35 minutes of normal operation. Then you should charge the battery for 3 hours. The WORX batteries feature the no-discharge function. To make your work more comfortable, we recommend buying an auxiliary battery. This way you will have more time to work with this tool. It also features the flower space guard helping to protect the vegetation and garden furniture.
Some Lawn Care Rules
Whenever you see a luxurious smooth green carpet of vegetation you look at the 'healthy' lawn. If you want to make your own lawn look like that, you should follow some simple rules. The lawn must be watered, mowed, and fertilized. The mowing and trimming of the grass carpet are the most important and time-consuming tasks. The height of grass should vary depending on the type of lawn. For example, the garden or park lawns should have the grass of about 2 inches high. The regular watering enriches grass roots with oxygen, thus making them stronger and prevents the grass from getting brown in a hot season. The lawn should be watered at least once a week in the normal weather conditions and once in 2-3 days in a dry season. It is necessary to check that the soil is wet through at least 4 inches deep after the watering. You should pour minimum 5 gallons of water per a square yard to keep up the moisture. Another more essential task for growing of a healthy lawn is adding some fertilizers. They strengthen the roots, make grass color brighter, and protect vegetation in the cool season. It is also important to fix even slight defects on time which sometimes happens as a result of excessive rains or lack of sun. The nicely trimmed edges make the lawn look even better. That is why the WORX XG 175 edger can become your best friend in taking care of your lawn.

Performing and Reliable
The heart of the Troy-Bilt TB516 EC edger is the 4-cycle motor designed and produced by the company itself. The engine is more powerful at a lower RPM rate than 2-cycle motors installed in other edgers and trimmers. It also features a smooth start and an easy pull. The engine is ignited by pulling the starter cord as in other similar devices. It is not very convenient, so Troy-Bilt provided its tool with an optional JumpStart function, though you have to purchase the necessary starter separately. The JumpStart unit has a Li-Ion battery and is installed in the engine. After the installation, you can start the engine by pressing the trigger on the handle. The TB516 EC edger has a 9'' dual-tip blade with 6-position height adjustment making the edges up to 1.75” deep. You should not carry the tool in hands as it has a convenient 3-wheel design. It also has the poly debris protection shield. However, you should take care of a potential overheat of the engine when using this tool for trenching. In case of the long-lasting use, it is recommended to make pauses now and then, lift the blade up and let the motor idle. The unique combination of the motor power, 3-wheel construction, and user-friendly design make this edger your best companion if you'd like to spend less time on the lawn work.
History of Lawnmowers
The first lawns had been mentioned in the XIV-XVI centuries in the book called 'The Advantages of Country Living' and they became really popular in the XVII century. From the early XVII century, lawns with short uniformly trimmed grass started to appear at the estates of English landlords. At that time, the first manuals for lawn care were published too. They recommended using daisies, thyme, and other plants in addition to grass to make lawns looking better. The exact name of the inventor of the British lawn remained unknown, but some experts believe it was Francis Bacon, who wrote: “The lawn has two advantages: first, there is nothing more pleasant for eyes than low-cut green grass, and second, a lawn makes a garden really beautiful”. 1830 was the year of the great invention in the sphere of gardening. Edwin Budding created the first lawn-mower. This invention made the lawn care and landscape gardening very popular with landowners. Today, the progress of science and new technologies have caused multiple improvements in this sphere and allowed raising the art of landscape gardening to the new level of quality.

Probably, convenience and functionality are the key features of any modern tool. The Toro 51480 corded edger/trimmer combines both these features. It is a device for an affordable price!

No overgrowth will be an obstacle for your work. The guiding wheel provides you with extra comfort during work. The lawn requires grass trimming and edging after being mowed. This tool, which is easily convertible from the trimmer to the cutter, will make your lawn really neat and nice to look at.
Mower Curiosities
The first lawn mower was invented by Edwin Budding in 1830 and patented in August of the same year. The mower was designed for cutting the grass on sporting fields and in big gardens and had to replace the common scythes. Although, until now some people prefer using sheep and goats instead of scythes or mowers to care of their lawns. There is a British lady who uses kangaroos instead of a lawn mower! She says it is better because the animal needs no fuel and is not afraid of rain. There is also a club of lawn mowers fans and museums exposing the grass trimmers of Prince Charles and Lady Diana in the UK. But that is not the whole story. The British have had mower races annually since 1972. The lawns are mowed and trimmed in many households all over the world. People do that themselves or contract special lawn-care services for this purpose. For example, Americans spend approximately 30 billion dollars on maintenance and servicing of their lawns every year. A common individual spends on average 4 hours weekly to care of a lawn!

What is an Edger
A well-groomed lawn in front of your house makes the whole yard look nice and neat. If you really like your lawn you need to take care of it on a regular basis. The unattended lawn with uneven edges has an unpleasant look and that's why you need appropriate tools to maintain your yard. An edger is a must-have accessory for accurate, clean, and fast cutting of the edges and shaping the lawn according to your design preferences. A conventional lawn edger is a tool consisting of a shaft with a handle and an engine with a cutting blade or a trimming cord on opposite sides. Modern edgers feature multiple additional functions, including edging the grass along driveways, edging and trimming flower beds, mowing lawns and cultivating patches.
In case you also have shrubbery and trees decorating your yard you might be interested in purchasing Hedge Trimmers that will help trim them in some fancy shapes.
What Features to Compare
Neat and even edges of the lawn depend mainly on the tools you use. This is a task for a lawn edger! In this review, you'll find some useful information on how to select the suitable edger for your particular needs.
Firstly, decide on the Power Source that's gonna work best for you - the mains, battery or gas. Cordless edgers that work off the battery are pretty much maneuverable for they're not bound to a working area within a power cord, but they aren't as powerful as those running off the mains and suit more for small-scale jobs and indoor use. To keep on working, they also need regularly recharging which some customers who need autonomous work might consider being an inconvenience. Corded edgers in their turn allow continuous operation and can be used for trimming quite large lawns. They feature much more powerful motors and they can cope even with overgrown areas. But if you do trimming quite a lot and you need this work to be done pretty quick, then, you'd get more use out of gas-driven edgers, all much more powerful and performing to the other tools.
The next feature worth your attention is the Performance of an edger. The performance depends mostly on the engine power and the type of edging gear. The more powerful the engine is, the faster and easier you will be able to edge the lawn. The edgers with blades perform better and allow trimming and trenching apart from traditional edging. The string edgers and trimmers are less powerful, though, they are pretty accurate.
It is recommended to pay attention to the Convenience of use. Many manufacturers provide their products with adjustable assist handles and telescopic shafts so that edging doesn't turn into a tiresome and long-hour process. Among other things that affect convenience greatly is the weight of a tool. If it's the right size and height for you, the job would be much more comfortable too. Consider whether the blade height is adjustable, for if it's not, you wouldn't be able to vary the edging depth. Though, if you've got just a small lawn, this might be not a big issue for you. Rather than that, most edgers look pretty much the same but now at least you know what to look for so as not to get lost in all the choices.
