Great video! I need to create some beds along the inside perimeter of my fence.
Do you recommend putting down weed paper (or something similar) before putting down mulch? Does that even do anything to stop weeds?
can we take a moment to appreciate how well that lawn has turned around since moving in?
You are the neighbor we all wish we had.
What kind of much did you use in this video?
And I think I have a lot of grass to mow 😂 your garden is the size of a park over here in the UK !
Waste of time
What a great way of explaining everything. Love the video. Precise and well made.
Great technique how to do next to walk way same method or something different
Name of string trimmer ?
I have a huge oak tree. How do i get the leaves out of my mulch?
Absolutely stunning piece of property!
Would it be better to have mulch around the trees then grass?
Looks great. Keeping shovel sharp with an angle grinder or file, really helps too.
Really Glad I found you. Please keep up the lawn care, string trimmer tips( Makita Tips Too ) etc..
No roots or rocks,…..you were lucky😊
You’ve got a beautiful place! Thanks for the video, it was helpful!
Great tip! Does anyone know how to remove a large patch of invasive zebra (ornamental grass) ? DESPERATE!!
Will this work on the bottom edge of a slope as well?
Do you think this would work well for river rock beds? Ive got a pretty good established edges but I’m seeing some grass take root through the rock.
Good video, except your edge will slowly sink down. I know because I did this exact thing years ago and learned my lesson. You need to put some kind of edging along there to support your soil….soil will not support itself.
The beds look really nice. I wish they would make spade shovels with longer handles. I'm tall, it kills my back to bend over like that and lift the dirt. My regular shovel is too curved to make a clean cut. Your landscape is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, love your new place! What part of the country?
This is a great technique! I applied this to our front beds this spring and got some compliments from the neighbors. In addition to the tight lines it really is great at keeping the mulch in the bed, as you mentioned.
Should we add metal edging around to keep it looking good?
Great job
Try this in South Carolina clay. I had 100 yards of bed to edge and rented a power bed edger from Home Depot – best $100 I ever spent inproving my yard.
Great info!! Well produced video…I’ll try your technique VERY soon! 🌸
UPDATE: 6/11/23 I used the hose to saturate the ground, used the circular “shovel”…couldn’t push down hard enough PROGNOSIS: EXCELLENT 6/22/23: well, I’ve completed the top 4 most visible (to the street) flower gardens…just gorgeous! Because it’s so easy and effective , I’m going to go on to the less important beds. Thanks again!
Nice video, thank you for sharing it.
Great video and tips, thank you for not blasting the thing with weedkiller which is what I’ve seen in so many other lawn edge videos! 😮
Great video thanks! I have a question. I have many old trees full of roots – it would be impossible for me to reach the same result
But what do you do when there is a tree with many superficial roots? Take them all out? It probably woukd hurt the tree?
If you have large tree roots like I did, make sure you have a reciprocating saw
I stretch out a long piece of string tied between two dowels and use that for long straight edges
Last year my neighbor used a battery powered sawzall with a long dull blade to define his beds. It seemed to work great.
In my case I need the strength of hercules
Great video, thanks!! How deep do you dig down and how thick is your mulch? I find the mulch just levels out the trench if you have any decent mulch thickness or it seems such a steep slope if I make the cut into the grass super deep – I am doing something wrong lol!!
Bought the shovel. Fiskars is great. Saw a video of a different method and used a reciprocating saw with a long coarse blade to do the initial cut. Worked very well. Used the shovel to define it more.
I will use my Fiskars shovel for sure…but…this may sound dumb, the straight edge of the blade is not sharp, almost thick. Is this normal? Should I find someone to grind the edge down? Great looking beds btw!
I envy your garden
Super wonderful video
I need a good electric weed eater. What do you recommend? Thanks In advance.
Looks easy in cooler weather but I don't know if I could do this in +100 deg. F. heat without going very slow and taking multiple breaks. I'd still be drenched in perspiration. Using an electric edger and an eco-friendly weedkiller for the surrounding beds would be easier for me.
A MOWER AND A TRIMMER IS ALL I NEED, SCREW EDGING, IT'S USELESS
Robotic mowers HATE this one little trick!
What's to keep the crabgrass or Bermuda grass from just growing in and ruining the edge.
I'm fixing up garden beds for a lady, she has literally thousands of big and little rocks in her beds. I've removed the larger ones but she wants me to keep the small ones, as there are so many and it's very daunting… should I just leave them in? I've pulled the weeds out and unwanted bushes, and old growth. Adding soil now and going to add an edge today. However, the lawn is short, solid is hard, and we haven't had any rain for a while. I'm thinking of adding the rest of the soil to her beds (she ordered 7 yards the other day), and then going back once we've had some rain so I can set a nice edge. Thanks for the tips in here, great video!
Wouldn’t it be best to lay out some weed tarp before the mulch to prevent weeds?
