Main Choices of Trimmer<\/h3>\n\n- Electric <\/strong> – these are for the most part eco-friendly and quiet. They are perfect for small to medium gardens with easy access to outlets. But beware of the cord dance, extension leads etc.<\/li>\n
- Cordless <\/strong>– These are also ideal for medium-sized gardens, but they also offer portability and convenience. Battery life is key, so choose wisely.<\/li>\n
- Petrol <\/strong>– These are the real muscle for the toughest jobs. Great for large gardens and thick weeds, but expect noise and maintenance needs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Trimming Head & Line<\/h3>\n\n- Bump Feed – Simple and budget-friendly, but requires a tap on the ground to advance the line.<\/li>\n
- Automatic Feed – More convenient, releasing line as needed. Ideal for longer trimming sessions.<\/li>\n
- Line Thickness – Thin lines for delicate edges, thicker options for tackling unruly growth. Choose the right tool for the job!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Your Comfort<\/h3>\n\n- Lightweight – For smaller gardens or those with limited mobility, always prioritise maneuverability and minimal strain.<\/li>\n
- Back-Friendly Design – Adjustable handles and padded grips make a world of difference, especially for larger areas.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Beyond the Basics<\/h3>\n\n- Adjustable Speed<\/strong> – Allows you to fine tune trimming power for different tasks, from delicate edging to clearing thick patches.<\/li>\n
- Edging Attachments<\/strong> – These help transform your trimmer into a versatile tool for creating crisp, defined lawn borders.<\/li>\n
- Extra Touches<\/strong> – Consider features like telescoping shafts, pivoting heads, and bike handles for added convenience and comfort.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
My expert advice is don’t break the bank for a beast you don’t need. Set a realistic budget and take a bit of time to prioritise features that matter most to your needs. Remember, value for money trumps a high price tag. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. By understanding your garden’s unique demands and your own preferences, you’ll be well-equipped to choose the grass trimmer that becomes your trusted lawn care companion.<\/p>\n
Let’s have a look at what is available for cutting grass, trimming edges and trimming shrubs and bushes. The most popular choice at the moment is the cordless style. They operate off a rechargeable battery and do a fabulous job, in our opinion.<\/p>\n
You do of course have the single handled grass shears which are quite popular, the hedge clippers which can also be used for trimming the edge of your lawns and the long handled grass shears. Just below we look at those in a lot more detail.<\/p>\n
