I'm Sophie, Ideal Home's Gardens Editor. I write about lawns, plants and garden tools all day, and I also test lawn mowers, robot lawn mowers and other garden equipment to find the best products on the market. I put each tool through its paces on my 38m² lawn, assessing ease of use, performance and a range of other features to help you decide if it's the product for you.

For cutting lawn edges with precision, comfort and low noise, STIHL's new grass trimmer is one of my new favourites.
