Spring is when most gardens get their yearly refresh, and having the right equipment on hand makes it far easier to get through the season’s bigger jobs without weeks of manual effort.

A rotavator makes light work of breaking up soil ready for new planting or turfing, while a turf cutter is the quickest way to remove old, tired lawn before laying fresh turf.

Hedge trimmers and brush cutters help bring overgrown borders and hedging back under control after a winter of minimal maintenance, giving a garden a tidy, well-kept look ahead of summer.

For anyone planning a bigger landscaping project, hiring equipment for the specific stages of the job, rather than buying tools that will only be used once, is usually the more practical and cost-effective route.
