Inspiration Guide
Ditching gas? We’ll highlight the pros and cons of corded (electric) and cordless (battery) outdoor power options.
If you want to have the neighborhood’s best-kept lawn all year long, it all starts with choosing the right equipment. Luckily, The Home Depot’s wide selection of string trimmers and edgers from the top names in the outdoor power game makes getting your yard in tip-top shape a snap.
String trimmers, also known as weed wackers, are designed to help put the finishing touches on your lawn. They’re able to get to places most mowers cannot – and should not – attempt to reach. Around trees, fence and mailbox posts, for example. String trimmers can help maintain clean lines along sidewalks, patios and hedges,
We also offer a number of versatile power heads and attachments for all types of trimmers. You can even use one of our brush cutter attachments to clear rough grass, thickets, shrubs and dense undergrowth any place in your landscape.
Putting things simply, you can choose between gas trimmers and electric trimmers. To get in the weeds a bit more (pun intended), your options are actually gas trimmers, corded trimmers and cordless trimmers. Gas-powered models offer power and portability, although they typically require more maintenance than corded or cordless trimmers. Corded trimmers are the most budget-friendly, least portable option of the three. Battery-powered cordless trimmers are not limited by the amount of gas in the tank or the length of the electrical cord.
You'll also find versatile power heads for use with a variety of trimmer attachments, including brush cutters for clearing rough grass, thickets, shrubs and dense undergrowth. And if all you need is a replacement trimmer line or two, we carry an ample selection of choices sure to match your chosen brand.
Whether you’re interested in manicuring around beautiful, delicate flower beds with string trimmers, sculpting bushes into yard art with hedge trimmers or taking care of unruly limbs and branches with pole saws or pruners, The Home Depot has all the power and performance from the brands you want to get the job done right.
We also offer convenient, free pickup and delivery options on trimmers, edgers and millions of other items every day.
