Abstract: The trimmer is adapted to trim the grass on the vertical or near vertical edges of a lawn bordering a garden. The trimmer incorporates conventional motor driven rotating blade or filament cutting element(s) at the lower end of an elongated handle assembly. There is a shroud around the cutting element(s). The handle assembly is configured such that the open side of the shroud faces the lawn and user when the trimmer is in use, allowing the user to stand and move on the lawn. The lower portion of the shroud contacts the surface of the garden and the edge of the shroud contacts the edge of the lawn to facilitate proper positioning of the trimmer in use. The handle assembly may be configured such that the handle itself is on the opposite side of the plane of the cutting element(s) from the lower end of the shank of the handle at its attachment to the shroud.
