We have a creeping grass that is always heading out onto our sidewalk. Would something like this be good for edging our sidewalk and driveway?

Although I don't have sidewalks I use to edge where grass is over growing a gravel path. I think you'd find it a useful tool. It's very sturdy too.

The answer is "Yes". But, it arrives dull: I sharpened ours immediately, mostly using a file.HTH,Robert

Yes, that is what I have also and it is really easy to use to cut that back that tough grass. I cut an angle so it leaves a little trench along the side walk and stays neat almost all season.

I bought this for my wife, she's 5ft and slight. She says this is her favorite garden tool. The cutter is stout and sharp, the handle allows holding at any angle comfortable to you and it will edge Bermuda grass in hard Texas clay like a knife in butter.

It's very small I don't think it would work well on grass or gravel. We used it in the house or on black top.

I used it to across my back yard which is kind of rough - and it did fine. My sidewalks are a little rough (river rock) and it was fine on that as well. A little hard to push in the grass but that might have been due to my lack of strength at the time.

I have a small cement driveway and cement sidewalk. It worked great unless you hit an uneven patch...but thats just my ground issue. Last year we had a horrible winter in the tri state area, and this was a god send especially when we had a large amount fall overnight.

it is great at picking up leaves, and grass as long as the grass is sitting on top. works best on level ground.

I'm sure it would push nice on smooth, even, not too thick grass. The unstable handle and difficult turning would still be an issue though.

This goes pretty deep. But not sure it would go very wide. Its like a blade. I went down the edge of the sidewalk and driveway and it did fine for that.

I've used my McLane edger many many times for cutting through the grass outline or sides of flower beds and even to cut sides of trenches for laying irrigation lines. Makes it much easier to come back with a shovel and dig between lines, and not have to cut through grass.

No it shouldn't stop running. That is how a lot of people edge their sidewalks. Me personally I prefer the edger attachment because it is a cleaner, neater edge.

When leaver is in the upper position that would be for edging the sidewalk area, when it is in the lower position you can go with a deeper cut to make a trench around plants then pull out grass or weeds. I used the trencher to run a straight line in front of my azalea hedge, then pulled out grass to use in another area that I needed to get grass started rather than buy grass plugs.

I don't think it would be satisfactory for turf. The unit is mostly plastic and is lightweight. The sweeping brushes are plastic and designed to sweep leaves off the surface of grass. The brushes spin and sweep the leaves into the hopper. But they aren't strong enough or low enough to brush up artificial turf. The unit works best on flat ground. When you try to run it over uneven ground, the brushes hang up on the high parts of turf which leads me to believe that this unit wouldn't do what you are looking for. I would advise getting something heavier and designed for turf.

You don't have to worry about this blade cutting any type grass - I have cut 1/2" saplings with it, BUT they do say to use it horizonally only, not for use as an edging tool.

Not really sure about thick tall grass...this is best used on a sidewalk or drive way. Hope this helps

Yes it will but it's slow. It will pull grass and weeds out of the ground, roots and all. You will have to stop and rake the stuff out of the way as you move along the area. I have a mantis tiller which really tears up the ground but it doesn't pull the weeds out as well as the B&D.; My battery lasts for about 30 miinutes, but I have 4 batteries so not a problem....

I think it will work fine. Because it is the straight line. No problem you go the straight line with this lawn Edger.

the blade is plastic so I would not recommend using this if there are any rocks on your driveway, but if its just all dirt it should be fine.

I usually cut along the edges of cement driveways and it hasn't damaged anything yet. It will damage/scuff painted surfaces, so be careful there.
