What is the Difference Between a Grass Trimmer and a Strimmer?
A grass trimmer, also known as a garden strimmer, are handheld grass cutters which use a thin plastic cable spinning at high speed to cut your grass. They are ideal for small lawns, getting into awkward corners, tidying garden borders, or tackling very long grass.
If you’ve got some garden edging which is being taken over by grass, a grass trimmer can help to tidy it up. Using a garden strimmer in the places that your lawn mower can’t get to will ensure a neat and tidy finish to your lawn! If you’re dealing with very long grass, it often isn’t the best idea to go straight in with a lawn mower; instead, cut it down to size with a grass trimmer first to give your lawn mower a helping hand and avoid damaging your grass.
For unruly lawns, following up with a scarifier to remove any dead grass and moss will leave your lawn looking healthy. Use the excess lawn clippings as a natural mulch for your plants, or thinly scatter over your lawn to use as a natural fertiliser.

FAQs
How does a grass trimmer work?
Instead of a traditional blade, grass trimmers use a single strand of material as the cutting line. When powered, the string rotates at speed, slicing the grass.
What is the difference between a grass trimmer and a strimmer?
In the world of lawn care tools, a grass trimmer and a strimmer are the same thing. They are the same tools with a spinning cutting head powered by electricity or petrol.
Are petrol strimmers better than electric?
It depends! Electric strimmers are easy to use for cutting short grass, while a petrol strimmer would be most effective for cutting thick, overgrown grass in a large garden.
Can you cut the grass when it's wet with an electric strimmer?
While cutting wet grass with an electric strimmer is possible, it is not ideal. Wet grass may clamp together on the cutting line, leaving an uneven appearance.
How do you collect grass after strimming?
Grab your garden rake and get to work. Rake the grass, collecting it together. Remove it from the lawn using an outdoor vacuum cleaner or by hand.
Can you cut long grass with a strimmer?
To get the hang of it, start by setting the strimmer at a higher level to trim the tops of the grass. Then, gradually lower it and make additional passes until you reach your desired grass height.
How often should you replace the trimmer line?
There’s no rule of thumb for when to replace the trimmer line. It depends on the line’s thickness and the kind of lawn you’re cutting. Replace the line when it becomes less effective or looks a little worse for wear.
