they are called ' edging shears ' :) thats £40 for my advice sir !
I'd spray a thin edge and keep strimmers well away from it. Not sure edging shears would be much use through the stones.

Good idea. It might even be worth digging down to see if there are already timbers, and the grass has grown up-and-over them over the years. You might be able to cut back to them with a half-moon.
Is the problem that the cuttings are falling on the the 4" stone border and clearing the grass out and off the stones is the problem?
If so get a few lengths of 4" x 1" timber lengths, lay it out before you strim or edge, then pick up or blow off, finally remove the boards and do another section.
Shouldn't take to long ;)
put it on the bill - must be £30 -£75 an hr or is it less in south london?
Unfortunately, sometimes designers don't think of the maintenance issues but just that it looks "pretty". Have a similar situation on a commercial industrial site........ had to use weedkiller on the stones and slightly overlap the grass so you end up with a narrow bare strip...... looks ok but a fancy housing site might want a better solution.
