An electric lawn edger will help keep your garden looking neat all year round, even if you have hard soil. However, if you only have a small shed or no shed at all, storing one can be an unwanted hassle. That’s where renting comes in. Renting a lawn edger means you get all the benefits of using one without the hassle of storage or the annoyance of maintenance. You can rent one from several places, including Home Depot. At Home Depot, the prices start at $26 to rent the machine for four to six hours and go up to $37 to rent it for a day, at the time of publication.
If you want to get your lawn in top shape, you can also hire for longer. Home Depot charges $148 to rent an edger for a week. If you want to work on your garden, you can also rent an edger for four weeks at the price of $444. A deposit is mentioned, though how much this deposit is will depend on how long you are renting the machine. Keep in mind that if you rent a lawn edger for a longer period, you’ll need to have somewhere to store it to protect it from damage in the case of inclement weather.
This handy tool will keep the sides of your lawn in check
If you’re not sure about whether you need to rent a lawn edger, they are a perfect choice for large gardens or if you want your grass edges to look picture-perfect. How often the edger needs to be used will depend entirely on your lawn. Some lawns grow exceedingly fast, meaning your lawn with need edging every time you mow it. Others grow at a slower pace, in which case you may only need to tidy the edges every three or four mows. Generally, it all comes down to whether you think your lawn edges appear ungrown or untidy.
As you’ll be renting rather than buying a lawn edger, you may be wondering about the ideal time to rent. Most types of grass grow fastest during the end of spring and the beginning of summer, meaning this time of year is ideal for renting a lawn edger. Depending on where you rent it from, it’s likely you will have to rent one multiple times throughout this fast-growing season due to demand. Additionally, note that prices will vary from place to place, and the above Home Depot prices may change during busier seasons.
