Exmark is a good choice. Maybe he should start with a walk-behind. Just an idea, the Turf Tracers are excellent mowers. Their Zs are good too but there are mixed reviews on the Triton deck.

Backpack blower? If money's not an object I say Stihl BR600. Otherwise just have him get a handheld like the BG85.

String trimmer, Stihl FS80 2-stroke.

Edger, I dunno, I have an Echo PE-311 and it has gobs of power. I guess the Stihl stick edgers are great too. If you're thinking walk-behind edger, Tanaka, Little Wonder, McLane or Brown(the company that makes the bed edger) make good stuff.

Like said above, look at a walkbehind I was going to get a ztr but instead got a walkbehind used at a fraction the price and am much happier with it! I also like the BR600 backpack blower and really any stihl trimmer would be fine for him. I like my FS110R but if you only use it for trimming i can see how it would be a bit much!
