Invented as a Back Saver
-
Garden edgers were originally designed as labor-saving devices to allow cleaning up the perimeters of lawns, landscape beds and paths while in an upright standing position.
Key Features
-
The key functional element of a traditional garden edger is a flat, sharp, semi-circular cutting blade mounted on a long handle that allows for use in an upright position and provides leverage and force when cutting through grass and other plant material.
In motorized versions, the cutting blade can be an actual metal blade attached to a motor or a thin, flexible, string-like cutting blade. -
Types
-
There are two main types of edgers--the manual, typically wood-handled blade and the motorized. Motorized edgers can be electric or gasoline powered, and can be drawn, pushed or self-propelled along the edge to be cut.
Where to Buy?
-
Garden edgers come in many designs and sizes. They can be found at nearly all hardware and home improvement stores, big box retailers, gardening centers and gardening supply outlets online.
Cost Range
-
Costs can range from about $20 for a basic handheld model to 100 times that much for a gas- or electric-powered professional landscape edger.
