1 Walk with a lawn mower or oblique first along the edges of the sidewalk and paths. When mowing your lawn, you can use either an electric or gas-powered lawnmower or a hand-operated lawnmower. Next, we will talk in more detail about the manual lawnmower. To pick up dirt and humus around the sidewalk and paths, it is best to use an electric lawn mower, it will do it in a matter of seconds.

• What is the best lawnmower to buy? Choose a cheap, lightweight and upright lawn mower. You can get an electric lawn mower relatively inexpensively and you have to because who wants to spend big bucks on a lawn mower? Choose a lightweight lawnmower so you can spend more time mowing your lawn. Finally, unless you need an ergonomic option, choose a straight-cut lawnmower; it will be easier for you to do your job with the vertical lawnmower.

2 Use your electric lawnmower along straight lines and corners. An electric lawnmower is much more efficient than its manual sister, but efficiency doesn't always mean quality. The electric lawn mower is great for use along straight lines or paths. It is not very suitable for areas where the borders are poorly marked; when smoothness is needed, it is best to use a hand-operated lawnmower if you can of course afford to have a variety of lawnmowers in stock.

3 When operating the lawnmower, hold it firmly in your hands. It is not the arms that should move, but the whole body. Therefore, turn on the mower and start moving with the attachment, holding it firmly in your hands. Moving with your whole body will give the lawn a smoother look than if you were just moving your arms.

4 If possible, walk the path while mowing the lawn instead of walking on the grass. Why? When you hold the mower with your hands, you will instinctively try to bring your hands as close as possible to your body. The result is that instead of cutting neatly, you end up with a bare spot, as in this position the mower will cut the grass by the roots. Over time, you will be able to determine the level of grass you need, instead of following the previously set one.

• If you mow while on a path or sidewalk, your attempts to get your hands together will do less harm, because every time you move your hands close to your body, the mower will actually cut air. This problem is much easier to fix, since there is no problem at all.

5 Cut slowly but surely so you don't end up having to do multiple sets. Electric lawn mowers are very powerful, so they can mow your lawn in seconds. Oftentimes, however, a hasty haircut leads to unsatisfactory results. Take your time when mowing your lawn using an electric machine. Thus, you do not need to redo anything. Re-mowing is likely to make your lawn look messy.

Part 2 of 2: Trimming with a braid

1. 1 Examine the structure of the braid. The scythe has a large crescent-shaped blade. With uniform pressure, this shape allows you to mow the lawn in even layers.
   • Just dip the scythe blade into the grass like a shovel until the middle of the blade touches the ground. Then gently pull the blade back and define the boundaries. Once the boundaries are determined, take a shovel and place any poorly compacted soil or humus in the wheelbarrow.
   • When using a scythe, try to lower the blade straight (vertical), not at an angle. Not only will this help you define the boundaries more precisely, but it will also prevent grass from growing into your lawn's boundaries.
   • Maintain the working condition of the braid. Clean the blade of dirt or debris after each use. Sharpen your scythe blade from time to time to keep it from getting dull. There is nothing better than a sharp tool, just as there is nothing worse than a dull blade.
2. 2 Use a braid to create flowing borders. The scythe does an excellent job with the slight bend of the planting bed. Simply paint over the area you want, or line it up with a garden hose and start trimming. Of course, if you use your garden hose as a pointer, be careful with your movements so that you don't inadvertently damage it with the sharp blade.
3. 3 Be careful with electrical wires, water pipes, and other underground hazards when clipping. While they may be covered in PVC pipe, which is difficult to harm with a scythe blade, it's better to take precautions than regret later. Discuss this issue with your utility company before you start mowing your lawn, and remember to always proceed with caution.
4. 4 Treat the edges of the tubs with flowers and plants obliquely. Using a scythe is ideal for flower and plant pots, as it allows you to pick up a small amount of grass and humus in the process. The process itself remains unchanged. Just remember not to cut too much grass; Try to find a balance between finding perfect boundaries and cutting your lawn completely.
5. 5 Decide on trees and bushes. The lawn around trees and bushes can be mowed with either an electric lawn mower or a scythe. When using a braid, be extremely careful with the roots. If the tree or bush is old or has a strong root system, consider using an electric lawn mower.

Tips

• Mark out the boundaries before mowing the lawn.
• Timely border markings can save you time if you mark the borders for the first time during the growing season.
• By keeping your lawn within boundaries, you prevent roots from growing into paths and sidewalks leading to cracks in the surface.
• There is no need to make a boundary line every time you mow your lawn. Use a lawnmower to trim any loose parts of the lawn.

Warnings

• Exercise vigilance when operating the lawn mower. Its sharp blades can cause serious injury.
• Do not rub against the concrete while mowing. This will ruin the mower blades.
