Beautiful, well-groomed lawns have become a familiar part of a suburban area or summer cottage. Smoothly trimmed grass surrounds flower beds and trees, benches in parks and fountains - it is difficult to imagine modern landscape design without a lawn. But the grass does not grow perfectly evenly, the coating needs regular care, or rather, a haircut.
For mowing lawns, trimmers and brushcutters have been created. If the scythe is a more powerful and complex tool for cutting weeds and shrubs, the trimmer can only trim soft lawn grass.
