Clearing up in the garden after this week’s storms

Winter storms can cause havoc in your garden and the strong gales many parts of the country have experienced this week will leave plenty of clear up work outdoors in the days and weeks ahead. To help you with this task we’ve assembled a range of garden clean up tools which will make the work so much easier to do.

With the lawn mowing season now starting in many areas the first task you may want to undertake is to clear your lawns of twigs, leaves and any other debris that might have fallen from nearby trees and bushes or been swept in from border areas. Our ever popular Brush Leaf Sweepers are available from stock and are ideal for collecting smaller items of debris quickly and efficiently. They are so much easier than doing the job by hand and will save time and backache. Our Brush Leaf Sweepers can also be used on drives and pathways.

If you are going to do the job by hand we are currently offering free fold-up wheelbarrows when you purchase a Ryobi Garden Shredder. This really is an ideal combination for clear-up work – collect twigs, leaves and other debris into the wheelbarrow and then use the shredder to shred the waste ready for compost or to use as wood chippings on flowerbeds. There are two deals on offer. The Ryobi ESR-2240 is a standard-type impact shredder and a bargain at just £99.95 with the barrow. Secondly, we also have limited stock of the Ryobi RSH-2455 Quiet Shredder/Mulcher which offers low noise operation and is available with wheelbarrow for just £149.95!

If you have a larger sized lawn you may want to consider using one of our wheeled Shredder/Chipper Vacs. Not only will these suck up any debris from your lawn they will also shred the waste into compact mulch which can go straight into the compost bin. They also have dedicated chipper chutes so if there are any branches on your lawn you can simply feed these into the machine also. We are currently running a special offer on the Yardman 060 Shredder-Chipper-Vac with On-board Hose Kit at just £499 inc. VAT and delivery – a £120 saving on the R.R.P.

To help clear up fallen debris on patios and courtyards we have a range of hand-held outdoor blowers & vacuums which will speed up the job. We have a really wide range of models to choose from and there is bound to be one to suit your needs. Our current best deals include the MTD BV3100 Petrol Blower Vac which switches automatically from blowing to vacuum and at just £149.95 it is in our view the best petrol powered product in its class.

Finally, if you were unfortunate enough to have had any trees or large size branches fall this week and you are intending to chop them up for firewood you may want to check out our range of quality chainsaws. We currently have some great deals on our new range of Victus chainsaws with an electric model – suitable for smaller trees only – available for just £69.95 and a range of petrol models which we are currently supplying with free chainsaw safety gear.
