- In this latest update I wanted to talk a little bit about edging and also the Black and Decker Edgehog edger that I use for my lawn. In my opinion, edging is one of best ways to make your lawn look a notch above the rest.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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 !
I didn't really see anyone who edged a yard where I was from either so it has made a big difference in the overall appearance.
Yes, I totally agree since I started a couple trail with my new edger...Reasonable but work well. No complaints.
It's funny, I am in the same boat. Now all my neighbors are trying to copy my other landscaping tips! I've been getting questions about how I am improving my lawn. I can only wait to see the results of them trying to replicated...
Hahaha, I love how that works.
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.
Just bought the same product from Black & Decker. Turned to your UA-cam 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
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.
yep exactly what I do most of the time. I use this to get a good edge going and then I maintain with the trimmer.
Beautiful home and lawn. I was just looking at buying one of those and now I am. Thanks!
Looks great!!!! I have the same edger, i need to use it more.
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.
Great vid. Just about to get into electric edgers so i enjoyed this.
Cheers from down under !
It's wild to think that people in Australia,... if I could see through the earth, you'd be doing your mowing and trimming and edging upside down! (Or at least at a very steep angle somewhat underneath us, here in the USA).
Of course, come to think of it, WE in the US (including me in Texas) would be "down under!"
For instance, when I mowed my lawn today, if the earth were glass and my voiceover client in Sydney Australia could see me mowing my grass here in Garland Texas, I would be down under THEM!!!
I’m buying one. Like leaving the house to go get it now. I’m ridiculously excited!
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!
The lawn looks great! Thanks for making the video!
Gorgeous lawn. I have the same edger, newer model. Been in the garage for 3 years because I lost the directions. THANK YOU UA-cam AND ALL THAT POST VIDEOS! Fixed my washing machine...now the lawn! #winning #likeaboss lol
UA-cam is a great place!
watching this in 2021 because i magically got my hands on one of these.
Yo
Same. Found one at my local goodwill for $15. For a while I’ve been busy edging with my weed eater
@@A_collector_ same. I just bought one for the same price at goodwill.
Thank you!
Blades are now $11.00 for 7.5” X 2”. Just got an edger on marketplace for $20. The old blade was 2” short. Never changed from new I guess.
I don’t weed wack the edges. I cut my yard at 3” and Wacker cuts too much off and that’s why I wanted a edger. New blades on mower did great.
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!
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.
Thanks for watching!
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
Thanks for the tip!
He was using a thick cord that won't fit
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
Glad I could help.
I have the exact same edger love it
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 !!!!!
I love your grass...you did an awesome job!
I need to get one of those. Nice clean edge at a good price.
streetstylz black and decker has a gh3000 for the same price
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…
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 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.
What model Dewalt did you get?
Make sure you enter that lawn in a beauty contest - it looks great! Nice job on the video.
Your camera looks great. Nice work. Thank you.
Again, nice work! Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Looks great! You're definitely DOMINATING your neighbors.
Kevin Dowe 😂
Very nice. Just got that edger and lawn looks super clean now👍
wtf am i doing, i have a chemistry exam tomorrow..
This IS your exam! ;)
it's been a year...how did you do?
Still wondering how you did.
James Warner As am I. I’m looking to buy an edger and now I NEED to know how Locky Hansford’s education worked out.
LOL! Good one Locky!
Your yard looks good.
Love the diamond shaped grass cut too, looks like mine ✅✅
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.
Thanks for the video! Very helpful.
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
Don Zelmer i have the same Black and Decker although now I use the Milwaukee 18v edger attachment system. I agree there’s something so basic and simple about Ryan’s point of view on lawn care that I love. And his lawn is amazing great job Ryan.
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.
The cord just gets multiple uses and is getting old but thanks for the tip!
Good job Ryan. Love your videos. Very informative. Your true fan from Cameroon.
Excellent presentation! Thank you. Just picked one up. This is a great tutorial.
Great video, thank you. You have a spectacularly beautiful lawn ... amazing. I can't seem to use the trimmer properly, is it ok to skip this step? Additionally, should I mow first and then use the edger or should I edge first and then use the mower? Many, many thanks! Subscribed and now off to your Teespring store :).
Thank you for your video, very helpful review.
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.
Thanks! Nice, clear and informative. Lot of work gone into making it, so, appreciate it.
Thanks for watching!
Nice military lines Mr. Knorr. I just subscribed, like your content.
I have the same edger. However, Ryan, YOU are a lawn GOD!!
Thanks Ryan, great video so I know how to use hubby's edger. Can you tell me what brand that extension cord is? I have one from 1793.... lol thanks
Thank you ,I learn something new today ✌️👍🏻
Thank you for your edging video.
Old Ryan Knorr vids are classics.
Can you do a video on how to use it in landscape beds and edges on flower beds etc?
I would love to see that too!
Outstanding!
Do you have a video on replacing the cutting blade?
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.
Yes definitely give it a shot on the sidewalk edging. Once you get a good edge you can usually maintain it with the trimmer for a while.
At $80 for a replacement battery, cords look very good! And... especially while edging or trimming, cords never lose their charge.
Nice job, Ryan.
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.
Great video man. Thanks! Subscribed. :)
Looks like a yard straight out of The Stepford Wives movie set.. looks fake it so lush and perfect 😍
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.
who's playing the back ground music?
Great video Ryan bit late to the party ha Edging the grass its hard to find the same types of tools now like that. Most are like strimmers and the wire breaks all the time. That edger you have looks just what i need will have to try and source something like that. Anyway keep up the great work !!
Very well done video. Very professional!!!
What should one use if sprinkler heads are tight to the cemented areas?
Great video!
I have the same one - do you still use this? I tried to do mine this spring but the soil is muddy. Will wait.
Now that really puts the finishing touch on your lawn Ryan! Looks awesome! What if a lawn sits higher than yours? My front lawn where the sidewalk is, would be almost a couple of inches high (the dirt) - maybe 2.5" max. Will an edger like this work still?
Regards.
Jason (Toronto, Ontario)
Thanks! You can set the edger to not go as far into the ground which may help on your situation. I can't say for sure but the blades on here are fairly long so I would think it would still work.
Love the video! I was able to see how the base flipped while cutting and that helped me a lot since I’m a girl and was afraid that odd looking bade was gonna be like a weird bump/ hit on the grass and go al over the place, but as I can see. It doesn’t work like that. It’s actually very smooth moving . My bigger question is, why is hit cord curled up like that? I bought a $78 cord for my trimmer and my husband used it one time, brought it in and it was all curled like yours and I accused him of over heating it or idk, but it’s all curled and I’ve been afraid to use my too expensive cord now. Does the curling destroy the cord and make it a risk for overload on outlet or shocking me?
Thank you
good review. im looking to get an edger- thanks. ~JDS/CT
Hi Ryan, I also have this product and find it useful. Unfortunately, I find the cost of B&D replacement blades prohibitive. Would you have a source for commercially available blades? The other problem is that this has a 1/2" hole.
Great tips!!
Upvote for Vikings hat and Wild shirt.
@ryanknorr what do you do with the loose grass? You said you use the blower on it. Now its in your driveway. Bag it? Blow it back onto the lawn?
blow it back onto the lawn is what I do.
Anytime I use a weed wacker for trimming, it ends up cutting down to the dirt...
So if I am doing standard edging against a sidewalk I use the shallowest setting?
Any recommendations for for a large yard ,1 acre to be exact. Besides overseeing, and watering so it can look nice and green.
Great video!
I have a free guide for lawn stuff at ryanknorrlawncare.com/simplelawnguide/
You might want to mention having the right cord size for the amperage. Also, did that device have a bigger guard originally?
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.
Battery is handy sometimes but yes those are good points.
Hey Ryan, great video! I just bought the same edger and was wondering how deep you set it? 1"?
Usually 1.25
Looks Good 👍🏾👍🏾
Thank You..... been shopping for an edger. It's driving me Nuts to not have that look!
Glad I could help!
Need to make a edge trimmer that you can roll down like yours but it cut down and at an angle at same time |/
My Ryobi cordless edger works wonderful
The edge along one of our walks is very high should we rent a walk behind and bevel it?
I saw in one of your videos the battery Milwaukee edger. Do you mind doing a video about your Milwaukee platform tools and what they offer for lawn and garden care? As a contractor I use Milwaukee tools daily and would love to learn more about their garden tools!
I am sure it is great! I just tried the DeWalt battery one and was very satisfied. The big name ones are pretty much the same.
@@robalan57 since I posted that comment, I have purchased the milwaukee chainsaw, line trimmer, edger, hedge trimmer, leaf blower and they are all amazing!! I use the 8.0aH battery and the run time is great and the power is more then enough for residential yard care!! Highly recommend them over gas which is what I’ve always had!
getting one tomorrow
Why do you trim before you mow? Does the mowing (after edging) not give you that sharp 90 degree angle you're looking for?
I mainly edge after the mowing because it seems to give it the stand up look a little bit better.
Ryan, you need to do a video of the organisation of your garage
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.
I am thinking a battery powered one would be really nice in the future. We'll see as this still works fine.
I haven't seen one. Hope you'll let us know if you get one and how it's works out.
Your grass looks great, what kinds of grass did you use? Or what kind of grass is good for TN?
I have a ryegrass/bluegrass mix. TN is in the transition zone for grasses so it might be best to do a search of your area and what grass types are best for that specific spot.
What do you do when the grass has overgrown the sidewalk by about 5 inches? We have this edger and the wheels don’t go over the grass so well.
I want to know the same thing...;)
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
Noob question here--should you edge before you mow, or vice versa, or does it matter?
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.
Mine still runs like a champ.
This is not the edging i was lookin to do but this is cool too
Zendavesta lol
I just learnt something.
I was hoping you do a flower bed edging
Nice lawn
