Why Hiring The Right Tools Matters 

Well-maintained grounds are more likely to provide visitors with a positive first impression. Professional landscaping supplies are essential for creating that smart, polished appearance. Sunnier days are on the way, and outdoor events such as weddings and cricket matches are beginning to be scheduled. Prepare yourself for bookings by familiarising yourself with the ideal tools for each landscaping job. Hiring tools is considerably more cost-effective than buying your own equipment, giving you the flexibility to hire only the required tools for your task.

Whether you are working on landscaping a sports venue or completing hotel grounds maintenance, choosing the right tools will make sure you achieve the best results. Every project comes with unique challenges and requirements. Careful consideration of the equipment needed will help you to achieve optimal results.

Hiring The Right Landscaping Equipment

To achieve a professional finish, you will need professional landscaping tools. Hiring the right equipment for your landscaping project will allow you to execute your client’s vision with precision and high-quality results. Renting your equipment also increases productivity. You can select the best fit for each individual part of the project, saving you precious time. This approach will streamline your workflow, consistently meeting deadlines and exceeding your client’s expectations.

Below, we have highlighted some of the high-quality grounds maintenance equipment available for hire at PSM. Our extensive range of gardening and landscaping products is bound to include the tools you require. 

Professional Blowers

Make clearing debris, leaves and grass clippings easy. Professional blowers are designed to provide a powerful airflow, clearing your work area and saving a huge amount of time in comparison to other methods like raking.

PSM stocks backpack blowers that distribute weight safely across your back and shoulders. This ergonomic feature allows you to focus on the task at hand and even use the blower effectively for extended amounts of time. 

Chainsaws

At PSM we stock an ample range of chainsaws, with options for all manner of residential and commercial landscaping projects. Our range includes:

• Electric Chainsaws: For those smaller projects that demand precision and less noise, look no further than our electric chainsaws. Ideal for tasks such as pruning, light tree cutting and firewood processing, these chainsaws offer the perfect balance of power and convenience. With their lightweight design and easy operation, they're suitable for both residential and commercial applications. 

• Petrol Chainsaws: When it comes to tackling demanding tasks that require raw power and mobility, our range of petrol chainsaws deliver unmatched performance. From larger tree cutting to forestry work and heavy-duty landscaping projects, these chainsaws are up to the challenge.

• Long Reach Chainsaws: Designed to access high branches and tree limbs without the need for a ladder, our long reach chainsaws offer extended reach capabilities for safe and efficient operation. 

Petrol Brush Cutters

These versatile machines, also known as strimmers, are designed for fast clearance of undergrowth, vegetation, long grass and brambles, making them essential for landscaping and property maintenance tasks. Equipped with a powerful petrol engine, the Honda brush cutter is lightweight and portable. Its ergonomic design ensures comfortable handling, allowing you to work for extended periods without fatigue.

Choose between a nylon line head or a metal cutting blade based on your specific needs and the type of vegetation you're dealing with. The adjustable comfortable double shoulder harness provides added stability and support, minimising strain on your body during operation.

Earth Augers

Earth augers are a much faster and more precise alternative to traditional manual digging. These tools are an essential piece of equipment for any job involving drilling holes in the ground. Hiring one will be particularly helpful if your project includes planting trees or installing fence posts. Our petrol-powered, 2-stroke post hole borer can be used by one person. Despite being extremely powerful, this auger is lightweight, ergonomic and provides incredible results.

Manual Post Hole Borer
A manual post hole borer is a trusted companion if you need to create small, neat holes with pace. This tool is ideal for speeding up the process of planting shrubs, trees and other plants. Post-hole borers are typically lightweight and relatively compact, making them convenient to transport around your work site and even between jobs. Their streamlined design allows manoeuvrability in tighter areas, such as between tree roots. 

Easy Post Drivers

Say goodbye to the tedious process of manual post driving. Erecting fences is much more straightforward with a petrol post driver. You can now effortlessly drive posts into the ground with minimal operator fatigue, making your work significantly more efficient. PSM’s Honda post driver is designed to enable an individual worker to drive posts of up to a 100mm (4") diameter. The reliable Honda GX35T 4-stroke engine powers the high impact hammer action at 1720 BPM.

The portability of petrol post drivers allows you to move between each post location quickly. Operators can move around the work area effortlessly, covering ground rapidly without the constraints of cords or cumbersome equipment.

Choose A Reliable Hire Company

A reliable hire company will provide you access to high-quality, reliable tools for a fraction of the price of buying them upfront. Picking a trustworthy and experienced company will reduce the risk of breakdowns or malfunctions during your project, minimising potential disruptions to your schedule. You can be confident that health and safety standards will be met.
