Edger
An edger is a power tool or hand tool used to shape, trim, or maintain edges of lawns, gardens, and pathways. It creates a clean, defined line between grass and other surfaces like sidewalks, driveways, flower beds, and patios.
Material
Edgers are constructed from a variety of materials, depending on the type and intended use:
- Steel: Common for blades and cutting heads, providing durability and sharpness.
- Aluminum: Used for lighter-duty models and housing components, offering corrosion resistance.
- Plastic/Composite: Found in some housings and handles for reduced weight and cost.
- Cast Iron: Used in some heavier, more robust models.
Purpose
The primary purpose of an edger is to:
- Create Clean Lines: Define the boundaries between lawn and other areas.
- Maintain Appearance: Provide a neat and professional look to landscaping.
- Prevent Overgrowth: Stop grass from spreading into unwanted areas.
- Root Cutting: Some models are designed to cut through shallow roots, preventing regrowth.
Function
Edgers function by using a rotating blade or reciprocating cutting mechanism to slice vertically along the edge of a lawn or garden. The cutting action creates a trench, removing excess grass and roots.
Usage Scenarios
- Residential Lawns: Common for homeowners to maintain tidy lawn edges.
- Commercial Landscaping: Used by professionals for creating and maintaining edges in parks, golf courses, and commercial properties.
- Gardening: Defining borders around flower beds and pathways.
- Pathway Maintenance: Keeping grass from encroaching on walkways and patios.
Common Types
- String Trimmer Edgers: These utilize a flexible string to cut grass along edges. They are versatile and often used for general trimming in addition to edging.
- Rotary Edgers (Vertical Shaft Edgers): These have a vertical rotating blade specifically designed for edging. They provide a clean, precise cut.
- Bed Edgers (Half-Moon Edgers): Manual tools with a curved blade used to create defined edges by hand. Suitable for smaller areas and creating decorative borders.
- Electric Edgers: Powered by electricity, offering convenience and ease of use.
- Gas-Powered Edgers: More powerful than electric models, suitable for larger areas and tougher grass.
- Battery-Powered Edgers: Offer portability and convenience, with increasing power and run times.
