Will Kelly explains why rounding tight corners instead of cutting sharp angles saves hours of weed eating. Sharp corners force you to backtrack repeatedly along fences and walls. One smooth pass beats multiple angular passes, especially on bigger properties.

And one of the biggest shifts we've made in our operation is treating the weed eater like a skill, not just a tool you grab and go. Now here's where most people miss. When you come into a tight corner, you don't just want to do the edge and keep moving. You round those tight corners. Think about what happens when you cut corners sharp. The mower has to come back through and push up and back, up and back, over and over and over again in these tight areas when you're near a fence or a building of a foundation. And it makes it so much harder. So on the first pass, round out those tight corners so the mower, which takes the longest on the property, can just cut the corner and keep moving and not worry about that.
