It’s been a washout in NZ this summer, with an unprecedented amount of rainfall across the country. If you are at a loss for how to maintain your lawn and garden during the wettest summer on record, you’re not alone.
Luckily, the team at STIHL Shop Mount Maunganui are here to help. With the right tools, you can take advantage of the brief breaks between showers and stay on top of your yard. Here are five power tools that will help you keep your garden looking good despite the deluge.
Cordless Leaf Blowers
A cordless leaf blower can make the task of clearing away wet leaves and debris much easier. To make this chore as effortless as possible, look for a leaf blower that is lightweight and easy to use, yet powerful enough to blow leaves away quickly. With both battery and petrol-powered options to choose from, STIHL Shop Mount Maunganui’s leaf blowers are user-friendly, easy to start, and come with extendable tubes that can be adjusted to suit your height.
Line trimmer
Trimming the grass around your trees and bushes is difficult when the ground is soggy. A cordless line trimmer with a pivoting head and adjustable handle can help you get into tight spaces with ease. We have options for small and large gardens, as well as line trimmers designed for professional landscaping or farm use.
Cordless Hedge Trimmer
A cordless hedge trimmer takes the hassle out of trimming your hedges and lets you get to work quickly and efficiently – which you’ll appreciate when you’re rushing out for a quick hedge trim in between showers.
At STIHL Shop Mount Maunganui, we have both petrol and battery-powered hedge trimmers – it’s a personal preference and both will do the job nicely. As a bonus, our hedge trimmers come with a free accessory, either a pair of secateurs or loopers, to help you keep any rogue branches under control.
Soil Cultivator Attachment
Keeping your garden beds free of weeds can be a challenge, especially with wet soil. If you’re having no luck trying to pull weeds out of the soaking ground, a soil cultivator attachment might just become your new best friend. It’s designed to till the soil and remove weeds with ease, leaving your garden neat and tidy.
Water blaster
It might sound crazy to add more water to your outdoor space, but the end of a rainstorm can leave your patio, deck, and outdoor furniture looking a little worse for wear. Once the sun comes out, you’ll be pleased to have a high-power water blaster that can blast dirt and grime away in no time, leaving your patio looking good as new.
Don’t let the rain stop you from enjoying your outdoor space
