A hand and foot-operated lawn edge trimming tool includes a pair of platform sections each having a flat base and an attachment flange depending therefrom, and a flat blade clamped by fastening means between the attachment flanges and extending downwardly therebeneath, the clamped-together sections forming a platform having a ribbed foot-receiving upper surface terminating at the front end thereof in an upstanding toe-retaining wall. Stiffening ribs extend laterally outwardly from the attachment flange and cooperate to define recesses for the fastening means, one of the ribs receiving therethrough a transversely extending bolt for pivotally coupling a pair of handle brackets to the platform adjacent to the front end thereof, the handle brackets being secured to an upstanding handle and cooperating to bridge the foot of a user standing on the platform. The upper edge of the blade extends rearwardly beyond the rear end of the platform.
