Weed Eating and String Trimming

Careful string trimming along fences, beds, ditches and slopes where mowers cannot go, without damaging trees or structures.

Every yard has places a mower cannot reach: along fences, around trees and posts, on slopes and in ditches. Left alone, tall grass and weeds in these spots make an otherwise good lawn look neglected, and they can hide snakes, ticks and debris. String trimming, also called weed eating, takes care of them. Done well, it leaves a neat, even finish. Done carelessly, it can girdle trees, scar fences and scatter debris.

Our crews use professional trimmers with the right line and technique, taking care around tree trunks, shrubs, mailboxes, irrigation heads and siding. We cut to a consistent height that matches the mowed lawn, trim overgrown fence lines and drainage ditches and blow clippings away. We can also tackle larger areas, such as rural lots, empty properties and field edges, with heavy-duty equipment. It can be part of a regular mowing plan or a stand-alone cleanup, and it makes an immediate difference to the look of the property. A tidy trim line also helps the rest of your program, because grass left standing along fences and beds goes to seed, shades the soil unevenly and makes the whole property feel unfinished no matter how well the middle of the lawn is mowed.
