How do most of you all edge your curb? String trimmer? I use a McLane wheeled edger for everywhere else but it doesn't balance well in this spot. I tried the curb attachment and wasn't impresssed. BTW, this is the sidewalk area I plan to renovate next spring.

I use a stick edger attachment for my trimmer. More info here.

I use same as Ware, but I've got the echo version

Stihl stick edger. Blades are cheap, but I'd like to get a thicker edge on it, maybe I need to do double passes.

What do you mean by thicker edge?

I use a string trimmer for everything. If you want to get a good clean line you might have to use a flat shovel or something to clear out a little soil between the curb and grass to give you a nice line to go down. That slope will always have water and soil running towards the edge so you will always have a little more time needed for that spot.

What I meant was a wider distance from the driveway/sidewalk to the turf. Currently, it's the width of the edger blade. Last weekend, my wife and I were yard sailing, and I saw one house that had an edge that was as wide as 2 fingers. It made me cringe.

I use a string trimmer, you might have to try a couple of ways to hold it but once you figure out your method it's pretty easy.

I used the Steppin' Edger (https://www.gardeners.com/buy/steppin-edger/34-524.html) to cut away all the overgrown grass and dirt, and now I edge with a string trimmer about every other week. I might need to use the Steppin' Edger each spring, but I haven't been around long enough to know for sure.

I use my string trimmer. I have a 20v B&D with the rotating head and wheel. I usually trim/edge every other time I mow.

Honestly you'll probably never use it again if you maintain your lawn.

I don't think I've busted it out since last spring. I'd sell it, but it probably wouldn't put many more dollars in my pocket, so I'm hanging on to it.

I've used a string echo for 13 years. Now using a stihl curved edger, should have switched a long time ago.
