Power Trim Co., Inc.

The Power Trim Co. got its start in the early 1950`s when Roy Dykes and his son, Jim, began hand forming and welding gasoline powered lawn edger frames in Compton, California. In those days all of the operations required to build a frame (i.e. bending, drilling, welding, painting) were performed in a garage with the end results being sold to local outdoor power equipment dealers. The popularity of the lawn edger soon took hold with consumer and commercial customers alike who realized that no job was complete without that straight blade edged look. Two models were manufactured back then (the Junior and the Senior) with many of them still being used by their original owners today.
