Pro tip: Making cuts in sod? Use a drywall saw! Clean and easy!

What happens here

Begin by carefully trimming the grass along the edge of existing stone pavers. Use a small, sharp hand tool, such as a utility knife, a specialized edging knife, or a sharp garden knife. Position the tool precisely along the concrete or stone line and make a clean, continuous cut to separate the turf from the hardscape. Work methodically to ensure a straight and even line. Once a section is cut, grasp the strip of excess grass and remove it by hand.

Goal: Create a sharp, clean line between grass and pavers
