How we make spring gardening easier at Smiths Hire

Spring officially arrives on the 20th of this month, making now the perfect time to dust off your gardening gloves and start thinking about breathing new life into your outdoor spaces! Whether you’re planning a major landscaping project or simply giving your garden a seasonal spruce-up, we have everything you need to get started here at Smiths Hire. With our tool hire services, you can make the most of the sunny spring afternoons by making light work of your garden tasks.

Lawn care made simple

A well-manicured lawn is the centrepiece of any garden. With our Petrol Rotary Mower, you can easily tackle even the toughest patches of grass. With adjustable cutting heights between 30mm and 70mm, you can achieve the precise look you want. Plus, it can cut up to 500m² before needing a refuel, which makes it perfect for larger lawns, meaning you don’t have to keep stopping and starting!

If you’re starting from scratch or bringing your garden back to life after a long, unruly winter, our turf cutter hire is a must-have tool to have in your gardening line-up. We stock the Camon TC07 model, a self-propelled powerhouse that slices through 30cm (12″) strips of turf easily. It’s a go-to for both professional landscapers and hobbyist gardeners – whether you’re prepping for fresh rolls of grass, a new artificial turf, or laying cables and pipes, it’s simple to operate and incredibly effective.

Tackle overgrown hedges

Overgrown hedges can quickly make your garden feel untidy, but with our hedge trimmer hire service, you’ll have them back in shape in no time. From compact electric hedge trimmers for smaller jobs to long-reach petrol models for taller hedges, we have the right tool for every job. 

Just remember to keep nesting season in mind while you work! If you’re unfamiliar, we actually just wrote a blog about this that you can read beforehand. Nesting season is the time when you should avoid trimming trees and hedges if you can to prevent damaging or disturbing local birds that are building their nests.

Brighten up your outdoor spaces with garden blowers and power washers

A reliable garden blower can help you tidy up quickly, and we’ve got just the solution. Our Stihl Petrol Garden Blower is perfect for clearing pathways, patios, and any flat surface in your garden. With low-emission technology, this efficient blower is eco-friendly and easy to start. Plus, with an operation sound level of just 90dB, you can keep your outdoor space neat without disturbing your neighbours.

For tougher cleaning tasks, our range of electric power washers can tackle even the most stubborn wintery grime. Whether you’re cleaning your paving stones, driveways, or outdoor furniture, these powerful washers are designed to deliver impressive results, making light work of any cleaning job.
