Epic string trim precision from the cyber boys. 
What happens here
For curbs or elevated driveways, the approach to edging needs to account for the vertical surface. Position the string trimmer so that the cutting line is at a slight angle, allowing it to shave off the grass growing against the vertical face of the curb. This creates a clean, defined vertical edge, preventing turf from growing over the curb. Carefully guide the trimmer along the entire length of the curb, ensuring uniform cutting and avoiding gouging the concrete or cutting too deeply into the turf.
Goal: Create a precise, vertical edge where the lawn meets a curb or driveway.
