A combination apparatus that is operable as both an edger and sod cutter, the combination apparatus comprising:
- an arm mechanically linked to a motor, the arm having a first side and a second side that opposes the first side, the arm positionable in a first position and a second position;
- a sod cutter blade that is coupled to the arm and extends orthogonally from the first side of the arm;
- an attachment apparatus that is removably attachable to the arm on the second side of the arm, wherein the attachment apparatus comprises a channel that is parallel to the second side of the arm;
- a blade support that is formed to be slideable in the channel of the attachment apparatus;
- and
- an edger blade that is removably attachable to the blade support such that the edger blade is moveably positionable relative to the arm, wherein when the arm is positioned in the first position the combination apparatus is operable as a sod cutter, and when the arm is positioned in the second position the combination apparatus is operable as an edger.

- a sod cutter blade that is coupled to the arm and extends orthogonally from the first side of the arm;
- an attachment apparatus that is removably attachable to the arm on the second side of the arm;
- a u-bracket, where an interior face of the u-bracket is adjacent to the first side of the arm, wherein the u-bracket is configured to securely fix the attachment apparatus to the arm;
- and
- an edger blade that is removably attachable to the attachment apparatus, wherein when the arm is positioned in the first position the combination apparatus is operable as a sod cutter, and when the arm is positioned in the second position the combination apparatus is operable as an edger.
