Prepare for Spring

When it comes to buying gardening equipment, many people think it should only be a summer pursuit but there are actually things to do in the garden all year round and you should be taking advantage of the time of year to keep your garden in check.

In the winter while the main vegetation has died back, it’s the time to get a chainsaw and trim back any overhanging trees and bushes. Tackling these kinds of jobs in the summer can make the job a lot bigger than it needs to me with all the new summer regrowth. A crisp winter afternoon with a stihl petrol chainsaw or a lightweight Bosch electric chainsaw can trim your garden back to state that is ready for the summer regrowth.

Along with a chainsaw it might be worth getting a shredder to dispose of garden debris our collection of lightweight garden shredders are portable and designed to be quiet, so you can make sure the garden is tidy without disturbing the neighbours. The garden shredders including hoppers to capture the debris, the shredder helps minimise garden waste by compacting the waste down and the lightweight shredders are easily manoeuvrable around the garden.

Finally for any garden waste that is too small to shred or saw a garden vacs will vacuum up the waste and leave your garden ready for spring. Next month we will look at the lawn and what machines will get your lawn looking pristine for summer.
