What is the difference between lawn shears and edging shears?

Flat bladed, long handled shears are known as lawn shears ( rather than edging shears) and are ideal for cutting areas of lawn around trees and along the side of sheds and walls. This type of tool is a great alternative to an electric grass trimmer for smaller areas and is much more pleasant to use.

What tool do you use to edge a lawn?

A lawn edger is a tool that you can use to trim the grass on the very edge of a lawn or flowerbed that the lawnmower may not be able to reach. They work really well when figuring out how to edge a sidewalk or keeping grass from growing over a walkway.
