Stihl Edgers + Trenchers

Edgers + Trenchers

Edgers are designed to create clean, defined lines and precise cuts in soil or turf. Edgers are typically used to shape lawn borders along sidewalks, driveways, and garden beds, giving yards a polished, professional look. Trenchers, on the other hand, are more heavy-duty and are used to dig narrow, straight trenches for laying irrigation lines, electrical cables, or drainage systems. While edgers enhance curb appeal through detailed finishing work, trenchers handle the deeper groundwork needed for functional outdoor projects. Both tools save time and labor compared to manual digging and cutting.

Edgers and trenchers come in a variety of power options to suit different job sizes and user preferences. Edgers are available in manual, electric, battery-powered, and gas models. Manual edgers are best for small yards and light touch-ups, while electric and battery-powered versions offer quieter, low-maintenance operation with enough power for most residential needs. Gas-powered edgers deliver more muscle for tougher or larger jobs, making them ideal for professional landscapers. Trenchers are typically powered by gas or diesel engines to handle demanding tasks and tough soil conditions, though smaller, walk-behind trenchers can also be found with electric or battery power for lighter-duty use.
