Edging & Trenches

Cutting a crisp garden edge with the Arbortech ALLSAW

Shop by task

Crisp edges,clean trenches

Everything you need to cut crisp bed edges and shallow service trenches — without hiring an excavator or tearing up the ground either side of the line.

Define beds, bury services, keep moving

A sharp edge is what separates a finished garden from a tidy lawn — and a cable or irrigation run is only as neat as the trench it sits in. Both jobs usually mean either slow spade work or machinery that is overkill for a 100 mm deep cut.

The cordless ALLSAW fills that gap. It cuts straight, vertical-walled lines through turf and soil at exactly the depth you need, with no kickback and no dependence on a generator at the far end of the block.

Technique

Trench without an excavator

For irrigation lines, low-voltage cable and drip runs, two parallel cuts and a clean lift beat an afternoon of spade work. The BA200X cuts consistent-depth walls through turf and root zone, so the trench closes up as neatly as it opened.

Trade insight

A straight edge is the cheapest upgrade a garden will ever get.

Sharp lines make average plantings look deliberate — and a clean trench means the services under the lawn stay invisible.

The process

Three moves from string line to finished

The same rhythm covers garden edges, drip lines and cable runs.

  1. Step 1

    String the line

    Set out edges and trench runs with string lines or marking paint. Long, committed lines read better than short corrections.

  2. Step 2

    Cut to depth

    Run the ALLSAW along the line at consistent depth — one pass for an edge, two parallel passes and a lift for a trench.

  3. Step 3

    Lay & backfill

    Drop in cable or pipe, backfill and tread the turf back down. Vertical walls close up tight and the line disappears.
