A ground guide system for a trimming head of a powered vegetation trimmer, which may be of the type having a rotatable drum enclosing a spooled trimming cord and a bump feed mechanism on the bottom of the drum, comprises a housing above the drum, a hollow hub mounted within the housing and coupled to the drum for driven rotation therewith, an elongated mounting shaft slidably received within an axially extending sleeve fixed within the housing for upward and downward axially-directed motion, a spring for resiliently biasing the mounting shaft in a downward axial direction, and a ground guide threadably attached to the mounting shaft below the bump feed mechanism for adjusting trimming height. The mounting shaft includes an actuating ring arranged to operatively engage the bump feed mechanism incident to bumping the ground guide against a rigid environmental surface to restore a free end of the trimming cord.
