String Trimmer vs Hedge Trimmer

String Trimmers – These are meant for trimming grass and weeds in difficult-to-reach areas like lawn edges, around trees, fences, walls, and garden borders. They come with a rotating nylon string that helps cut soft vegetation and are best for ground-level finishing jobs after mowing.
