http://www.homeinspectioncarolina.com Charlotte home inspector Preston Sandlin shows you how to use your weed eater to edge your lawn to give you that plush manicured carpet look. The have edgers but really the easiest and most efficient way to edge your lawn is to use a straight shaft weed eater an turn it up yerticle and walk along the grass portion of the area that you want to edge. Make sure your line is out making the maximum radius and you only want to go about half throtle just letting the end of the line do the edging. With a little practice your lawn will have that fine manicured look. For information on giving your yard tha manicured look or any home inspection questions please go to http://www.askthecharlotteinspector.com

  • someday I will post a video doing this , and you will see how a real pro do this job.

  • YOU ARE DOING WRONG..THE LINE IS CROOKED AS SHIT. TRY STAYING ON CONCRETE AND HOLD IT STRAIGHT.I HOPE THAT WAS YOUR LAWN AND NOT A PAYING CUSTOMER

  • that looks like shit my lawn is better than that

  • you are right,edging on the grass is best.'BECAUSE' the edge has a slight angle towards the grass making it last longer before it starts hanging off the concrete and it looks sharper. i have 97 lawns,70 of them because of my edge. OH YEA- REMOVE THAT GAURD. PROs DONT NEED THEM

  • @tln138 u dont need pants if ur not a bitch

  • Very good tips! If anyone needs lawn care in the Charlotte, NC area give me a call at 704-606-3769 I'm the Owner/Operator of Small Stripes Lawn Care.

  • @Aldi752 edgers are for people that don't know what they're doing and like to pay an ass load extra money for a useless feature.

  • Thats called half ass work... Buy a real edger and do things the right way....

  • @mooseboy66 Drama. American??

  • WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! That's the lazy and half-ass way to do it. First off, using just a timmer head and flipping it over won't make it look professional nor straight; you'll run the risk of scalping it and it'll be uneven. And secondly, like me, use either a REAL edger or an edger attachment with an actual BLADE. That'll give you a straight edge all the time; trust me, I know, I get compliments from my neighbors all the time.
