Lawn edgers are a useful tool if you value neat, clean edges along your paths and garden beds. They lock into line and don’t wobble much, so they leave a cleaner, more professional separation between path and lawn than a lawn trimmer or lawnmower can. 

Our expert testers put electric, petrol and battery lawn edgers to the test in a real-world setting to determine which models:

  • are the best for edging along concrete kerbs and soft paths (hard and soft edges)
  • are the easiest to manoeuvre on grass and hold a line well.
