Most of us have taken the opportunity of the buzz around the 5th November to have our own bonfire and burn all the garden debris that we\u2019ve spent the Autumn cutting back. There\u2019s nothing quite like the smell of a garden fire on a misty, November morning to get you in the mood for the impending colder months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s still quite a lot to do in our gardens at this time of year, so it\u2019s time to roll up your sleeves and take care of those final jobs!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Have a trim! This is a great time of year to properly have a good trim of those overhanging branches and overgrown shrubs. The lack of greenery gives you a great view of what needs cutting and there\u2019ll be less to burn or dispose of as a result.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    If you\u2019ve got a smaller garden and you\u2019ve still got bits to trim back then you might like to invest in this great Stihl MSA 120 C-B Compact Cordless Chainsaw<\/a>. <\/strong>It\u2019s ideal at pruning smaller branches and as it\u2019s lightweight it\u2019s really easy to use. Being cordless you won\u2019t need to worry about electrical cables or filling with fuel. It\u2019s quiet, fume free and you can expect a precise, clean and smooth cutting thanks to the low profile PM3 chain. And as it\u2019s so quiet to use, you won\u2019t need ear defenders! It\u2019s the perfect tool to just grab at the last minute and get a few jobs done with the minimum of fuss. AND it comes in quite handy when you need to cut some wood – who doesn\u2019t like a nice roaring fire on a cold Winter\u2019s afternoon?!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Our price is just \u00a3169.00 RRP (\u00a3179.00 | SAVE \u00a310) and we think it\u2019s very reasonably priced and as with all Stihl products it\u2019s built to last, so will give you years of reliable service.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Tidy up your paths and patios! This is probably the last time you\u2019ll want to pressure wash your patio or pathways – but if you\u2019ve been hard at work trimming and cutting back in your garden there\u2019s a high chance that your paving slabs are going to need more than a sweep. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

      If you\u2019re looking for a top-of-the-range pressure washer then you should seriously consider the Stihl RE 130 Plus Pressure Washer<\/a><\/strong> (with Free RA90 Surface Cleaner). You can easily achieve a professional finish with this fantastic, premium pressure washer. It comes highly recommended by us and will definitely put the fun back into garden maintenance as you\u2019ll be overjoyed at the results. It has a steel reinforced high pressure hose for durability and longevity and a comfortable grip handle. You\u2019ll love the unique fan jet nozzle with pressure regulation which allows you to clean different types of surfaces quickly and effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Our price is just \u00a3355.00 (RRP \u00a3409.00 | SAVE \u00a354) and we think it will quickly become your favourite piece of garden machinery! It\u2019s built for durability and backed up of course with a robust Stihl 2 year warranty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Tidy up those edges and around trees and garden furniture. This is a really important job to ensure your garden looks neat and tidy. There\u2019s bound to be some stray grass that\u2019s been left behind by that final cut by your trusty lawn mower. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

        If you need a helping hand with some stray grass or maybe you’ve finally moved your lawn furniture and don\u2019t want the hassle of getting your lawn mower out? Well take a chance on the Mountfield MTR50LI Cordless Grass Trimmer<\/a> <\/strong>(Power Unit). It\u2019s lightweight and perfect for those smaller, final jobs before you settle down for the winter.

It\u2019s the perfect tool for a quick trim and to get your garden looking well cared for.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Our price for the tool only, is just \u00a3129.00 (RRP \u00a3149.00 | SAVE \u00a320) and at this price it\u2019s hard to see a reason why every gardener shouldn\u2019t have one! It\u2019s part of the brand new Mountfield Freedom 500 range of garden machinery that all work with the same battery and charger. (available separately). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        1. Get rid of those leaves! The bane of every gardener\u2019s life at this time of year must be leaves on your lawn! They can turn a p[erfectly neat, manicured garden into an untidy, messy outdoor space and all in one afternoon. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

          Fear not! We\u2019ve got this fab Stihl BG 56 C-E petrol leaf blower<\/a>.<\/strong> It has a unique 3-in-1 (blower, vac and mulching) capability and is the ideal machine for general clear up jobs around the home and garden.It\u2019s low on vibrations and for your convenience it features Stihl ErgoStart and a 64 m\/s air speed for quick and efficient clearing.

          Our price for the tool only, is just \u00a3255.00 (RRP \u00a3289.00 | SAVE \u00a334) and for such a powerful and convenient tool we believe this is a great price! And, when you buy this Stihl machine you will receive a free bottle of 2-stroke oil & mixing bottle. A handy tool in your quest for a well-groomed garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          1. Probably one of the jobs you\u2019d rather avoid – shredding! Not everything can go on the bonfire, and if you have a smaller garden or live in a built up area you may prefer not to burn your garden waste. But you can\u2019t just leave it sitting around in your garden so why not opt to shred it? It\u2019ll be gone and forgotten about in no time at all!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            So you\u2019ve decided you need to shred your excess garden trimmings. And that\u2019s where the Bosch AXT Rapid 2200 Garden Shredder<\/a><\/strong> comes in! We love the Bosch powerdrive™ motor; it offers the HIGHEST torque in its class and seriously speeds up the time it takes to shred those large piles of garden debris. It can handle branch thicknesses of up to 1.6 inches\/40mm. What are you waiting for? It\u2019s a worthy investment and you\u2019ll soon be left wondering how you ever coped without it! Buy it from us and you\u2019ll even get a FREE collection bag, gardening gloves & goggles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            Our price for the tool only, is just \u00a3199.00 (RRP \u00a3249.99 | SAVE \u00a351) and for the time it will save you, and the fact that it\u2019s built to last you for many years we think it\u2019s a great investment – and if we\u2019re honest it\u2019s actually quite fun and satisfying to use. It\u2019s safe and easy to use and is perfect for when you\u2019ve got a lot of stuff to get rid of in your garden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            When you\u2019ve got your garden looking how you want it, why not invest in some bird feeders? And a water bath for the colder months ahead when little birds struggle to find food and water. You\u2019ll be giving mother nature a helping hand and it will give you some pleasure to see the birds feeding and bathing. You may have a long list of repair jobs to be getting on with and it\u2019s probably a good idea to get those out of the way before the really cold weather is upon us. If we have a nice sunny but chilly day then why not make the most of it and tidy out the shed? Whatever jobs lie ahead of you, we hope this blog has given you some useful ideas and inspired you to get your garden looking its best!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
