Try Before You Buy

The best way to decide whether a machine is the right one for you is to use it over an extended period. A demonstration doesn't really cut it. Usually, it's of short duration; also, you may feel uncomfortable operating the equipment with the demonstrator breathing down your neck! Hire it for just a day; longer if you wish. If you buy it at the end of the period we'll refund the hire charge (max one week). If you decide it isn't for you, all you pay is the rental fee and you will have got some useful work done with it - ideal! N.B. Equipment Hire Companies; we'll do the same deal if you cross-hire a machine so that one of your customers can trial it for you. Hire Details Our Plans to get Bed and Border Edging back on the Agenda. Recent letter from Paul Errington to The Landscaper magazine following the editorial in their Set 2016 edition Reading your editorial this morning got me to thinking about how much the look of parks could be improved by edging the beds and borders. As a result of budget cuts, it has been all-but abandoned. It is seen as a time-consuming, labour-intensive job but can actually be very quick provided you have the right machine. Over the last few years, I have heard more than one facilities management company say that it's actually still in their brief, but the budget doesn't allow time for it, so everyone turns a blind eye. Consequently, the edges look scruffy and in many cases the soil has completely filled the gullies so that there really isn't an edge at all. In such situations, a small, lightweight edging machine isn't the best tool for the job. They are good at maintaining established edges/gullies, but you need a much heavier machine in order to cut a new edge. Limited Hire Offer for Local Authorities In order to start getting edging back on the agenda, we are prepared to offer the loan of a TurfTeq edging machine that can quickly re-establish edges and gullies. It will be made available, for a limited time, to Local Authorities with responsibility for maintaining at least one public park.
