String trimmer service that keeps your edges sharp.

Multi-point care for your string trimmer (weed eater), from checking the safety controls and debris shield, to maximizing engine or battery performance, to servicing the trimmer head, drive shaft, and gearhead. B&R Lawnmower Shop equips homeowners, landscapers, and maintenance crews so they are ready for any job or project.

Authorized STIHL, ECHO & Shindaiwa, Makita LXT / XGT / ConnectX, and Greenworks outdoor power equipment dealer. Other-brand support is subject to parts availability.

Full Preventative Maintenance Package

Also known as a "tuneup," this service is the first step in any seasonal care or repair diagnosis. The full preventative maintenance package applies to both gas- and battery-powered string trimmers, including straight- and curved-shaft trimmers and multi-tool/Kombi power heads with trimmer attachments. Use this service regularly (we recommend at least once every 12 months, or more often with heavy use) to prevent costly repairs and downtime! Whatever brand you own, B&R Lawnmower Shop can help keep your string trimmer ready for the job.

String Trimmers (Battery- and Gas-Powered)
