ABSTRACT:
A combination tool for edging lawns adjacent walkways and the like and for removing the cut strips of lawn. The tool includes a foot plate, an upright elongated handle attached to the foot plate, an edging blade depending from the foot plate for cutting a strip of lawn adjacent a walkway, and a lifting blade projecting from the foot plate having an outer curved end for lifting the cut strip of lawn leaving a desired groove adjacent a walkway. The edging blade is channel-shaped and includes a pair of legs disposed at its opposite ends each having an abutment surface engageable with the walkway for positioning the blade in spaced relation to the walkway when the blade is forced downwardly to edge the lawn. A relief opening is located at each end of the edging blade which prevents the jamming of a strip of lawn between the blade, foot plate and legs. The foot plate also includes a guide surface adjacent the lifting blade which rides along the top of the walkway for properly positioning the lifting blade.
