Choosing the Right Trimmer
If you’re in the market for a new trimmer, you’ve come to the right place. Sometimes you need more than a mower to keep your yard in shape. In many cases, you run into tasks that are too time-consuming to complete by hand, such as trimming your hedges or edging your lawn. The quickest and most efficient way to tame your hedges is with a solid trimmer. Be sure to take some time to consider your needs.

What to Consider
To ensure you choose the right trimmer, you’ll need to think about your needs first. Start by determining the types of hedges you’ll be tackling, their thickness and height, how accessible they are, and the overall size of the yard. This is the best way to begin narrowing down your options, so you can eliminate models that aren’t suitable for your needs. If you’ve got a large yard with massive hedges, you’re going to need a more powerful machine to take care of business. Are your hedges located up against a fence or any other structure? If so, you may be better off choosing shorter trimmer that are easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
Gas vs. Electric
Speaking of power, your next decision is whether you’d prefer a gas or electric model. Those who will be using their tool on a larger yard with big hedges should consider investing in a gas-powered trimmer. This model is heavier and costs more but they’re highly capable of tackling difficult jobs quickly and efficiently. It’s important to note that these trimmer can be tricky to handle, especially if it’s your first time using the tool.
On the other hand, if you’re only investing in trimmer to use around a small residential property, an electric model will get the job done. These are more lightweight and easier to use. They’re also much more affordable than their gas counterparts. You’ll find they’re easier to start and maintain, too. Keep in mind that your range of motion will be limited by an extension cord if you choose a corded model. The cordless models won’t limit your range of motion, but you’ll be at the mercy of the battery life.
