  • a woman putting a battery into a STIHL cordless mower

      Battery powered lawnmowers have come a long way in a short space of time.

  • a man using a STIHL pressure washer with STIHL RA 110 Surface Cleaner attachment to clean decking in a garden

      There’s something deeply satisfying about watching months of grime lift away from a patio. One slow pass, a clean line appears, and suddenly the whole space looks brighter and newer. The same goes for decking. When it’s cared for properly, it becomes the kind of outdoor area you actually want to spend time on [...]

  • a Honda HRH536HX Petrol Lawnmower in a garage

      When a piece of garden machinery refuses to start or runs poorly, the type of fuel is often the last thing people consider. Yet in small engines, petrol choice plays a major role in performance, reliability, and durability. Using the wrong fuel, or fuel that has been sitting around too long, can lead to [...]

  • a man dressed in blue overalls, using a Sheen flame gun, with wheeled trolley and protective hood attachments, to incinerate weeds in a garden

      Keeping weeds under control is one of those ongoing tasks that can turn even the most enthusiastic hobby gardener a little weary.

  • a man on a residential driveway vacuuming up a pile of leaves using the STIHL SHA 56 Cordless Handheld Leaf Blower & Vacuum Shredder

      As the nights draw in, temperatures drop, and trees shed their foliage, our gardens begin to fill with a familiar seasonal sight: a colourful carpet of autumn leaves. While the golden tones can look beautiful, leaving them to pile up across your lawn, patio, or driveway can cause real problems for both safety and [...]

  • a man wearing an orange hard hat, using a STIHL leaf blower and gutter cleaning attachment to clear dried leaves from a first-floor gutter

      Autumn brings a certain charm to the garden, but it also presents a seasonal challenge: an increased risk of blocked gutters and drainpipes. Keeping these vital parts of your home’s drainage system clear is essential, not just for appearances, but for protecting your property from serious damage. In this guide, we’ll begin by explaining [...]

  • a man stood near a small bridge, using a remote control to operate the AS-Motor AS 1000 OVIS RC Petrol Flail Mower on a very steep grassy bank

      Using a conventional lawnmower to maintain a sloping or bumpy lawn can be a proper challenge. Traction fades just when you need it most, blades can scalp high spots or skip low patches, and controlling the machine takes both confidence and care. The good news is that modern slope mowers are remarkably capable. From [...]

The good news is that you can restore healthy growth with a few smart steps and the right tools. Here, we explain what [...]
