My husband and I bought our house over 6 years ago, right after we were married. I remember standing in the fenced backyard before we actually purchased it and thinking what a great yard it would be for our future children. The house itself is over 30 years old so I guess you could say that the yard is “well established”. The trees are very large and so are the plants etc. The upkeep is much more than we expected. Between being pregnant and having babies, it’s been very difficult for me to get out there and do much. Since the weather has turned warmer, and even though it’s still raining a lot here I’m determined to make some headway this summer on getting our yard back in shape. Luckily Ace Hardware is close by because we always find we need something in middle of a project. We had a giant ant hill in the back corner of our yard that the kids of course were fascinated with. Ace was very helpful with pointing out which products would work best and they are always very friendly.
We were given the opportunity to review a Weed Eater Twist N’ Edge Electric String Trimmer from Ace recently. The weeds are my job but the lawn is my husband’s. I decided that even though it’s called a “weed” eater, this job would fall to Hubs. It’s amazing what a difference edging can make! It really cleans things up and makes it appear so much nicer and neater. While this device worked great for our small front yard, it really wasn’t efficient for our large and somewhat overgrown back yard. Mostly because it has to be plugged in and a long extension cord is needed to reach all areas of the yard. A larger one with a motor would be more sufficient for those needs. That being said, it does a great job in the front and that’s where it matters the most anyway. People can see our front yard from the street so the nicer we can make it look, the better! Here is some more information on the Weed Eater Twist N’ Edge Electric String Trimmer:

- 4.3 amp motor
- Use .065″ diameter line
- Auto feed head converts from a trimmer to edger with a push of a button
