If you have overgrown borders, weeds or want to straighten lawn edges then you should look to invest in a petrol strimmer.
These handheld devices make tidying up edges and borders much simpler, giving you enough power to do the job quickly and efficiently, reducing the need to go over them again and again.
The main advantage of a petrol strimmer is convenience.
Strimmers are much more powerful and versatile compared to their electric counterparts.
As they don't require cables, they allow the user better access to the garden.
They can also be used in wet conditions and pack much more power than your average electric strimmer.
This means areas that would be tricky to cut with an electric strimmer will be much easier to tackle with their engine-driven equivalent.
People who are proud of their lawns often seek perfection, but that can be difficult to achieve even with a top quality lawnmower.
Perfectionists may take a good pair of gardening scissors or shears to trim off the tufts they have missed along borders or curves, but that is back-breaking and arduous.
A petrol strimmer gives you the power to cut tough areas of grass and weeds that were missed when mowing without the effort and fuss.
They can also help to tackle problematic areas of grass which you struggle to gain access to with your conventional lawnmower.
Electric strimmers may just be suitable for tackling the borders of a small garden, but petrol strimmers are tough enough to tackle larger areas such as small patches of grass that may be difficult to trim with a mower, areas with trees, borders and patches of weeds.
So, if you're tired of investing lots of labour to keep your garden and patio in good stead, why not consider investing in a petrol strimmer.
