Autumn is the perfect season to give your garden some much-needed attention before winter sets in. Using the right Garden Machinery during the Autumn months will ensure your garden stays healthy and beautiful. Here's our guide to the essential garden machinery you need this autumn.
1. Lawn Mowers & Leaf Collectors
Autumn brings a shower of leaves, which, while beautiful, can smother your lawn and lead to problems if left unattended. A reliable lawn mower equipped with a mulching feature can help you finely chop fallen leaves, which can then be used as mulch to nourish your garden beds. For larger lawns or those covered in leaves, a garden vacuum is indispensable. These quickly gather leaves, making garden maintenance a breeze.
2. Scarifiers & Aerators
After a summer of heavy use, your lawn might be compacted and in need of some air. Lawn scarifiers and aerators are vital for maintaining lawn health. Scarifiers remove thatch—a layer of organic matter that can prevent water and nutrients from reaching the soil—while aerators perforate the soil, allowing it to breathe.
3. Chainsaws & Hedge Trimmers
Autumn is an excellent time to prune trees and hedges, ensuring they are shaped and healthy before winter. A reliable chainsaw can help you tackle thicker branches, while a hedge trimmer is perfect for keeping your hedges neat.
4. Garden Shredders
As you cut back hedges, prune trees, and clear out the summer bedding plants, you'll be left with a lot of organic waste. A garden shredder will help you reduce this waste into manageable pieces, perfect for composting or mulching.
5. Leaf Blowers
A leaf blower is an essential tool for quickly clearing paths, driveways, and lawns of fallen leaves. Whether you prefer a powerful petrol blower or a quieter battery-operated model, there’s a tool for every garden size and need.
Final Thoughts
