Master Sprinkler Trimmer

The Master Sprinkler Trimmer is used to trim grass around in‑ground sprinkler heads on golf courses. The tool is powered by a battery‑driven drill and works with interchangeable blades that match the sprinkler’s diameter. The purpose is to ensure a consistent, clean edge around each sprinkler head, making maintenance faster and more predictable.

When grass grows in around the sprinklers, the task quickly becomes repetitive

On many courses, the season starts with clean and visible sprinkler heads, but after just a few weeks of growth, the grass begins to close in around them.

The task is often handled with a hand trimmer or edging spade, but the result depends on the individual worker – and the time per sprinkler varies.

When a course has several hundred sprinkler heads, even small differences in workflow add up to many extra hours over a full season.

The Master Sprinkler Trimmer is designed to make that task more consistent and less time‑consuming.

Consistent results – regardless of who performs the work

The key factor in sprinkler trimming is rarely the cutting itself, but the finish around the head.

With the Master Sprinkler Trimmer, the blade dimension determines the result. Once it is correctly chosen, the finish is the same – every time.

• results do not vary between workers
• sprinkler heads appear uniform across the entire course
• the work does not depend on individual technique

How to use the Master Sprinkler Trimmer

The tool is placed centered over the sprinkler head.

It is then mounted on a standard battery‑powered drill, and with just a few rotations, the grass is trimmed around the head.

The tool is then moved on to the next sprinkler.

Once the rhythm is established, the task becomes a repetitive workflow with a stable pace across the entire course.

Experience from the course

Many greenkeeping teams schedule trimming around sprinkler heads before the day’s mowing of greens or fairways.

The reason is practical:

Trimming leaves small clumps of grass around the sprinkler head. When mowing is done afterwards, these are collected as part of normal operations.

If the order is reversed, you often end up with an extra cleanup round that could have been avoided.

Benefits in daily operations

• Consistent results around all sprinkler heads – independent of staff
• Faster workflow compared to manual edging
• Less physical strain in daily work – performed standing with a drill
• Blade‑controlled diameter ensures the same finish every time
• Suitable for repeated tasks throughout the growing season

Blades for the Master Sprinkler Trimmer

The tool uses interchangeable blades so the diameter can be adapted to different sprinkler heads on the course.

• 110 mm blade
• 191 mm blade

When is the Master Sprinkler Trimmer the right choice?

1. When sprinkler heads require ongoing trimming throughout the season
2. When you want consistent results regardless of who performs the work
3. When manual edging creates too much variation in the finish
4. When the work needs to be done faster without compromising the final look
5. When the course has many sprinkler heads spread across large areas

Which sprinkler heads is it used for?

The Master Sprinkler Trimmer is used on all common sprinkler heads on golf courses.

The key factor is not the type, but the diameter – which is why several blade sizes exist, allowing the tool to be adapted to the specific installation.

FAQ

How long does it take to trim a sprinkler?

It depends on conditions, but the actual movement is short and repeatable, making the task stable across many units.

Is it difficult to learn how to use the tool?

No, the work consists of centering the tool and running it with a drill – the routine develops quickly.

Can the sprinkler head be damaged?

With correct placement, the risk is low, as the blade works in a controlled manner around the diameter.

Is it only for certain staff members?

No, the tool is designed to deliver the same result regardless of experience.

Conclusion

The Master Sprinkler Trimmer is designed for one of the tasks that never disappears during the season – only varies in intensity.

Since 1982, GolfbaneProdukter has worked closely with greenkeepers across Scandinavia on practical solutions for the course.
