Exclamation Flowery beds

Noticed the Emcor chap strimming around the flags and flower/weed bed today(the beautiful doc leave, rape seed oil, stingy nettle delight for all to see), then more noticeably strimming the weeds along the kerb edge. Using a state-of-the-art-strimmer with no cutting guard, warning signs or consideration for those around him, projectiles i.e. loose gravel etc. sprayed at a fair rate of knots in all directions. Problem was a broken taxi window, damaged stone chipped glass, and several stone chip paint hits on the taxis in the process! The taxi drivers were not happy. LUCKILY, no one was hit, struck or BLINDED by this delicate piece of horticulture!
To top it off, he then used a "petrol blower" to create a lovely POLLEN/DUST storm in the vicinity of his work?
What happened to the good old brush and hands on gardening approach???
