The autumn clear-up should not be in full swing as paths and lawns can quickly become scruffy with fallen leaves and twigs.
So here are two great wheeled vacs from German engineering company Al-ko to make clearing up this rubbish a much easier task.
First is the Al-Ko 75B Hurricane Wheeled Vacuum, powerful enough to deal with most garden debris and fallen leaves which have been trodden in to the path and become a solid lump.
This machine has a 140 cc four-stroke engine built to last and to start easily with the housing made from premium steel with a powder-coated finish.
It has four working heights and a 200 litre collection bag and with a working width of 75 cm is made to clear large areas in double quick time.
To get around difficult corners and the shrubs in the borders you can buy an optional hose kit for £120 to extend the use of the machine.
It costs £429 and is delivered free the next working day. There is a two year warranty from Al-Ko.
The Al-Ko Hurricane 750B Lawn Vacuum / Leaf Sweeper has a Briggs & Stratton engine for reliability and easy starting.
It has a working width of 75 cm and a 200 litre collection bag and four working heights so you can clear all types of surfaces including paths, gravel drives, tennis courts and lawns.
With the addition of the hosed kit you can get in to difficult corners which might otherwise go uncleaned.
The machine costs £529 and the hose kit is an extra £120. We deliver it for free the next working day and it has a two year warranty from the manufacturer.
Whereas years ago there was only a tined rake and a garden broom there is a huge range of leaf and debris clearing machinery available today, see these pages for full selection.
