Trimmers & Edgers

Take Great Pride in a Trim and Tidy Lawn

Lowe’s offers an extensive selection of trimmers and edgers, so you can find what you need to tame wild weeds and unruly grass. Whether you’re a homeowner working to keep your lawn pristine or a pro with a landscaping business, there are gas and electric models available to suit your needs. From electric edging trimmers for small yards to heavy-duty gas weed eaters, we’ve got you covered.

Gas String Trimmers

Gas string trimmers, like a Troy-Bilt 4-cycle trimmer, can take on larger areas and tackle heavier jobs with great efficiency and ease. They come with either a 2-cycle or 4-cycle engine. 2-cycle types require a gas-oil mixture for operation, and 4-cycle engines keep those components separate. Four-cycle engine models also provide more powerful output. Have dense brush and undergrowth? Consider a brush trimmer, or brush cutter, for clearing tough vegetation and even small saplings. For large, overgrown lots and rugged terrain, your best bet is a wheeled string trimmer.

Electric String Trimmers

Not one to mess with fuel? Electric grass trimmers are an excellent alternative and just as easily get the job done. With corded electric weed eaters, you don’t need to worry about refueling or recharging — all you need is an electrical outlet. However, they may require an outdoor extension cord, and the corded design limits mobility, making them ideal for smaller areas.

Cordless String Trimmers

If you’re looking for a gas- and cord-free option, consider cordless grass trimmers. A battery-powered trimmer allows unrestricted movement so you can get to all areas where weeds are present, like around fence lines, in flower beds and other landscaped spaces elsewhere in your yard. These models are well suited for modest properties, run quietly and don’t produce emissions. For harder-to-reach trimming jobs, use a pole hedge trimmer, which extends your reach, helping you bring order to landscape features like hedges.

Hedge Trimmers

Use a hedge trimmer, a small, handheld landscaping tool, for shaping hedges and pruning small shrubs. When you’re shopping for one, remember that the power source is the most important feature to consider. Gas hedge trimmers, which professional landscapers typically prefer, offer a long runtime and an unlimited range of use, but you’ll have to purchase fuel, usually a mixture of gas and oil. Plus, they require regular engine maintenance and occasionally small repairs. Electric pole hedge trimmers don’t use fuel and have an unlimited runtime, but you’ll need an extension cord, so they can only be used in locations within range of an outdoor electrical outlet. Cordless hedge trimmers eliminate the need for a separate extension cord, but they must be charged before use. If you don’t need a gas or electric hedge trimmer, a simple pair of hedge clippers will help you get the job done, but the work will go a little more slowly.

Along with lawn mowers, leaf blowers, lawn and garden hand tools, and other outdoor tools and equipment, trimmers and edgers are essential to the upkeep of your yard. Lowe’s has everything you need to accomplish the job and keep your equipment running smoothly, from replacement parts and attachments to string trimmer line and string trimmer heads.
