Does this have to be used along concrete, etc.? Can it be used on lawn next to flower bed without using extreme strength?

I think it can be used in that way but it would be harder to handle. I have not tried it in the way you ask about.

I would think so. However, I didn't have the strength to have it work at all. I have placed it securely in the garbage can.

You can use it along the grass. Run the wheel portion on the grass. A little tougher but will work.

Thanks! Exactly what I needed to know. Was debating between this and the half-moon edger.

I wouldn't try to use it without having something to there to run the rubber wheel along--i.e., at least some sort of brick or other edging between the flower bed and the grass. Without having an edging, try grass shears or one of those sharp things you sort of plunge in (I don't know what they're called).

We have always used this between our sidewalk/yard. I don't believe it would work very well next to flower bed/yard.

We have used it without stakes on the grass, but it will move around a bit with every throw. I think it would be frustrating to use it on a driveway, unless you don't mind re-positioning it after every few throws.

I placed it on a concrete slab. You can use large flat patio paver too. Easy to wash down with a hose. Good luck

Yes, I would recommend weighting the frame down with sandbags (or something similar). It is pretty stable without the spikes on grass but could see it sliding around if they hit the posts or crossbar if installed on a hard surface like concrete and not weighted down.

We use it on our driveway, so I don't know, but it kills the grass on the sides of the driveway , so,it is pretty strong

We used this on the grass and it was perfect. Since we had to secure/anchor it with stakes (we purchased additional larger stakes), to use it on cement I think you'd have to find a substitute for this process.

You could use it outdoors as long as it is on a flat and hard surface like a sidewalk/driveway/deck. I wouldnt use it on thick grass. I use it in my apartment on hardwood and carpet (no access to a yard)

We do not use it near our garden. We use it for our brick patio and walkways. I can tell you, if you have a low spot and good amount of rain the pellets/powder can float/move to a low spot. This year we had a lot a rain and it move to a low spot and killed the grass.

I have used it mainly in the perennial flower bed--it works well there. I don't know how it works on weeds in the lawn.

Yes. We use it in and outside - works great on the concrete and deck. Have had it for over a year i think

I would say it depends on the strength of the elderly person. We use it only in our barn on concrete, and it's easily moved, but still heavy. I'm sure it would be more difficult to move over grass.

I have only chipped off the mat from concrete, and it worked very well. I'm not sure about full swing though, as I was nervous I might hit with more downward force than I intended, which would hurt. I'd imagine it wouldn't be a problem though, as I've done it on gravel in my backyard with minimal sliding.

We only used it on the beach. The directions recommend putting sand in the side pockets to hold it down. I think it also comes with small stakes that can be pinned down into the grass if you have that by the pool. I don't think it would hold well on cement.

You can use this outdoors, but I wouldn't keep it outside. The grass under the mat will quickly die, which defeats the point of protecting the lawn. Good luck.

I haven't used it for that purpose. I have just been spraying weeds on the ground. Sorry I can't answer that for you

If it's on smooth concrete and it's dependent on how much weight do you have on it, yes you can but it's very flimsy. I don't recommend buying this product.

I would agree with Tina L. On the grass the legs tend to settle into the ground, do not slide and I would consider it safe, but unless there is a way to anchor it to the cement, I would not recommend it.
