• A string trimmer makes neat edges and gets into hard to reach areas for a clean lawn.lawn image by Margerretta from Fotolia.com
  
  A string trimmer, often called weed whackers or weed trimmers, keeps the yard neat looking by getting rid of stray weeds or grass in areas a lawnmower can't reach, or that are too close to obstacles for a mower to cut. The electric powered lawn trimmers have a distinct advantage over gas models since they don't have to stop to refuel. These electric trimmers will give your lawn the perfect edges of a professional landscaper.
