Abstract
A head edger apparatus for producing a centered, uniform, repeatable cut around sprinkler heads (or similar objects), without marring or damaging the sprinkler heads includes a body, a plurality of cutting members releasably and adjustably attached to the body, a non-slip boot rotatably mounted to the center of the body. The body may be securely engaged to a rotatable shaft of a motorized trimmer. Rotation of a trimmer shaft causes the body to rotate. Cutting portions of the cutting members travel in a circular orbit having a determined radius, cutting a circular path as they travel around the sprinkler head. The boot is positioned on the top center of the sprinkler head, protecting the sprinkler head and providing a stable support around which the cutting members travel.
