A lawn edger cuts a clean vertical line where grass meets a sidewalk, driveway or bed, with a spinning steel blade that slices through turf and roots instead of whipping at them with string. These rankings cover dedicated edgers: battery stick edgers from Greenworks, EGO, DeWalt, Worx, Milwaukee and others, gas stick edgers from Echo and Husqvarna, and gas walk-behind edgers. String trimmers that rotate to edge are ranked with string trimmers instead.
Cutting depth is the first thing to check. A 1.5 in. cut is enough to keep an edge tidy once it is established; restoring an edge that grass has crept over takes 2 in. or more, and a few edgers reach 2.5 to 3 in.
Battery or gas is the second. A battery edger is quieter, lighter and starts with a trigger, and most homes are done well within one charge. Gas edgers suit long frontage, hard or overgrown edges and daily professional use. Walk-behind models put the engine’s weight on wheels and add bevel cuts for beds.
Tool only or kit matters for battery edgers. Many are sold without a battery or charger. If you already own that maker’s batteries, a bare tool is the cheaper choice; if not, price the kit.
