"We use hired turf cutters regularly and couldn't imagine lifting old turf any other way before re-turfing, it's certainly a real time saver - no reliability issues for us, but as has been said just don't set the blade too deep, you can always run ov…"

"true. another design weibang stole from hayter. hayter have since changed the drive system on the new harriers which started from the 41,s snd now 48/56's and the prostripe 560. Much stronger system and very little to go wrong"

Turf Cutters
I need to hire a turf cutter to remove a very long stretch of lawn . Two hire companies tell me they have stopped hiring out turf cutters due to abuse of the machines .

Read more…Fencing And Gates
Fencing is a technique to cover the surrounding nearby plants, crops or any other place to protect it from outsiders and animals. Fencing and gates can help a lot in covering the landscape. Also, it makes it look better and less open for others to visit. Just like protecting the fields, fencing works in this case too. Safety is a must and in landscaping, fencing and gates play a very important role.
