Edging Spade – A Vertical Cut Between Lawn and Border

A hardened steel crescent head with teeth along the cutting edge, on a long handle with a footrest above the blade. The curve tracks a straight border and a winding path equally well. Nothing to plug in, nothing to fuel, and nothing the neighbors hear at seven in the morning.

Why choose this edging spade?

Whether a lawn reads as looked-after is decided almost entirely at its edges. A string trimmer tears that line; a weighted blade cuts it. One push gives you a clean vertical face through turf and root that holds its shape for weeks.

• Hardened steel head: holds an edge through a season of borders, paths and bed lines.
• Serrated cutting edge: teeth bite into dry soil and matted root instead of skidding off.
• Footrest above the blade: your body weight does the cutting so your arms and back do not.
• Crescent profile: follows curves as readily as it follows a straight run.
• Full-length handle: you work standing up rather than stooped over the border.

The difference between a lawn that ends and a lawn that merely stops.

Lay a plank or a garden hose along the intended line and cut against it to keep the run true. Overlap each cut by about half the blade width so the line stays unbroken. Rake the loose strip away afterward and the new edge will stand for weeks.
