Abstract
This invention relates to the cutting or trimming of grass directly over the top of the pop-up sprinkle head's shaft. In the past the grass and roots would cross over the path of the sprinkle's pop-up shaft restricting or stopping the upward movement of the shaft and deflecting or stopping the water spray pattern of the sprinkle. This invention will cut a very narrow cylindrical shaped hole down to the top of the pop-up head of the sprinkler eliminating the unsightly bowl shape cut in the grass of the prior patents and leaving a clean unrestricted small opening in the grass.
