Grass Trimmers

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.
