I’m a gardening guru – here’s how to get a perfect lawn edge using just three everyday tools
A GARDENING whizz has revealed the method to creating perfect lawn edges – using just three everyday tools.
As Brits prepare for summer heatwaves many of them will be getting their garden into tip-top shape.
This hack, shared on TikTok by @acres_lawn_care, demonstrates how to achieve a freshly manicured shrubbery or grass edge.
The gardening guru said: “Starting off with the garden edger, this is a fantastic bit of kit and this will mark out your lawn.
“It’s robust, it’s very strong, and you can cut deep into the soil.”
A screenshot of an edger tool was shown in the video that can be found on Amazon.
In this clip, the gardener demonstrated a Radius PRO Edger which retails for around £45.
“The second thing is to use the razer hoe, which is from Kent and Stowe and this is a perfect piece of kit because it allows you to just glide through the soil and move any bits you want to take out.
“It’s great for weeding and all types of stuff.”
Again this tool, which is used for “cutting, chopping and scraping”, can be found on Amazon for just £15.
“Then we finish up with the edging shears – and that is how you get the perfect edge.”
These can be found from various outlets, such as Argos who sell them for just over £20.
If your garden has particularly tough soil, the specialist suggested waiting a few days after rainfall or soaking the ground yourself.
One impressed TikTok user commented: “Nice and fast, clean cut.”
“Great work”, penned another.
“Beautiful job”, agreed a third.
