Leicestershire CC, have purchased a TurfTeq grass edging machine to add to the two owned by their highways contractors, Tarmac National Contracting.
The machines are used, mainly during the autumn and winter, to trim grass and soil that has encroached onto pathways. The County Council has now taken the grass cutting contract back in-house, and have purchased a third TurfTeq machine to cope with additional edging tasks.
UK importer Paul Errington said “The TurfTeq edger was originally designed for creating, re-establishing and grooming the edges of beds and borders. It will also cut trenches and has been used for tasks as diverse as installing metal bed edging, cutting back the grass edges on the runways at Gatwick airport, cutting back roadway edges at a National Trust estate prior to re-surfacing and creating trenches for irrigation, drainage and hedgerow planting”.
TurfTeq landscape maintenance machines are imported into UK by GroundsCare Products who rent and sell them to a wide range of customers including landscapers, facilities management companies, local authorities and large estates.
Paul continued: "Local authorities are showing an increasing interest in path edging as a result of European directives concerning the maintenance of footpaths to their design width."
