This week has been a snowy one with winter finally hitting us and the business with a couple of days forced off and it totally changes the look of the garden with everything covered with snow, with every garden be it well kept or unkempt looking…
The team were working this week in a garden in Virgina Water, Surrey and we suddenly noted a rather nice smell, looked around and our client had a beautiful looking witchhazel or Hamamelis mollis. This got us thinking about the gardens and sites…

"The only thing with the husky and the echo is that the trigger looks like it could catch on something and snap off. I notice that the latest stihl long reach hedge cutters have the same sort of arrangment. It may just be me be pedantic. "
"I bought the hla 85 last year and have been very impressed, almost as good for cutting as the kombi with long reach. Lighter, quieter and no mixing of fuels, elescopic makes it very long. Battery life, I have 2 x ap 200, s and they will go all day…"
"I use Stihl, an FS90. I'm on my 2nd now after 10 years and that's only because the first one was stolen! As ben says, they are easy to service and grease, there's not a lot to go wrong with them and they have none of the problems the larger 4 mix ma…"
"The drive cable on mine starts to go at the top, just changed it this week and have a spare one for when it goes again. No problems with any other cables as yet its 2 years old now and the drive cable has gone 3 times."
" I really dislike cherry laurel -- its an absolute thug - it will always dominate an area and win - particularly if its left to its own devices for years and years. The root system sucks all mositure from the direct surrounding area making it hard t…"
Hi AllLooking at getting a long reach hedge trimmer. Undecided whether to go for Petrol or elec (battery) The battery one I had been looking at was the Stihl HLA 85 Cordless long reach. Has anybody had any experince of these..?Thanks Chris

I have recently taken on a garden with two massive cherry laurel (Prunus laurocerasus). They are approximately 8m tall and have 2-3 main trunks each. Client keen to retain them to keep privacy, but they are so dominating and its a dark barren wastel…
"in the £300 and under bracket i think the Husky 520RJX is the best value for money compared to power and low vibrations -- same power as the Sthil FS90 but half the vibrations and £100 less -- ignore th retail price -- most dealer will do for around…"
"Thanks for the replies, guys. I'm ordering a new cable when they open at 9. We'll see if they charge or not. Re warranties, I'm not sure what is or isnt covered and I'm not sure I think it's a great service. As Graham says, servicing to keep the war…"
"I'd buy Stihl, husky or echo. No point in buying cheap stuff its false economy!"
"gary could you get away with composit/plastic wood effect decking boards "
I am selling the above lawn mower on EBay it’s hardly been used as I have two other mowers. If anyone is interested feel free to email me.
"For me i'd say yes they are worth it. I had the Weibang for almost 3 seasons and enjoyed the peace of mind it gave me in case anything major went wrong. Yes the 2 services I paid for were reasonably expensive, but then my mate had a pro lawnflite on…"

Good evening All I've been running this mower, 3rd season now, and it has been my main roller mower. I don't want to badmouth the machine, it has been excellent, but.... Unusually for me, I send it to the dealer for servicing whereas I normally do…
