talk to your lawn guy. How many windows did he break?

Something seems fishy about either
-- weed whacker damage above ankle level, say 6 inches
-- house paintwork nearer the ground than 6 inches.

Habla espanol? Seriously, I don't have an industrial strength weed whacker,
just an electric one and it's a fairly decent paint remover. It will also
eat its way through a plastic garbage can given half a chance, debark trees,
and perform other little household chores.

Mine has a flip down guide that you run along the wall and it holds the head
a little further out than the filaments.

Have the lawn guy spray RoundUp around the perimeter a couple of times a
year....makes about a 6" bare strip so the mower/whacker doesn't hit the
house. Then, do something with landscaping to eliminate the need for
mowing close....landscape cloth with river rock is a favorite.
