Abstract:

A lawn edger apparatus includes a foot plate member which includes a front edge, a rear edge, a first side edge, a second side edge, a bottom face, a top face, a plate length, and a plate width. A blade member is connected to the bottom face of the foot plate member and lies in an orientation plane that intersects the foot plate member and that extends from the front edge to the rear edge. The blade member has a blade length which is less than the plate length, and the blade member is positioned on the foot plate member medially between the front edge and the rear edge and medially between the first side edge and the second side edge. A handle assembly is connected to the foot plate member adjacent to the rear edge. The handle assembly includes a post portion which extends upward from the top face of the foot plate member and lies within the orientation plane. The orientation plane is perpendicular to the foot plate member.
