Now that the weather is dry you will be mowing less frequently. If you fertilise in Autumn be aware that it will not have any effect until Spring. If you have been using a mulching mower (eg: Lawnstar UTE58), you should not need to fertilise. When you think it is the last cut of the season before settling into Winter, leave the grass cut slightly higher than normal.
Find the perfect tools to maintain your garden. We sell a good quality range of high-performance gardening tools to keep hedges neat, remove fallen leaves and cut back brush. We are suppliers of STIHL, Echo, Mitsubishi, Tandem & Wolf brush cutters, chainsaws, hedge trimmers, blowers, pressure cleaners, vacuum cleaners, other good brands of outdoor garden equipment, and a range of convenient and easy-to-use hand saws, and pole pruners. Our Yamaha and Briggs & Stratton ProMax range of generators are the ideal backup power supply solutions for your home and office use. We offer advice about the correct size you require, and we stock many models to suit your needs. These brands are well backed up by the manufacturers with regard to spares, so we can maintain your generator with confidence in our workshop. We also stock an extensive array of spares and accessories for all of the brands that we carry.
To keep your nylon cutting line supple, store your spare spool in a small tub of water. This makes it flexible and it will last longer while you cut. If you are putting your trimmer/brushcutter away for winter, remove your nylon from the cutting head and also put it in water to store it.
Keep your garden looking good all year round with our petrol, electric and ride-on lawnmowers. Our large showroom has a range of Snapper & Ferris ride-on mowers for heavy duty gardening jobs, Yamaha and Tandem petrol lawnmowers that are perfect for those larger gardens, and the Wolf & Tandem range of electric lawnmowers. When choosing a lawnmower we’ll weigh up a number of important factors like the size, type and shape of your lawn to ensure you choose the lawnmower that’s best suited to your gardening requirements. One size doesn’t fit all, and it’s not true that the bigger the motor, the better the mower!
The Highway Mail, Lloyd Mackenzie 2 minutes read
The Hillcrest Conservancy was recently donated a heavy duty lawn mower to continue its necessary work in the area.

AFTER the recent appeal for a heavy duty lawn mower in the Highway Mail, Kloof Lawnmower Centre rolled into action and donated one to Hillcrest Conservancy so it could continue its invaluable work in the Upper Highway area.
For the past 11 years, the conservancy has co-managed the rail cycle track through Hillcrest and, with the help of the heavy duty lawnmower, it will ensure the trails are regularly cut and safe for users.
Paul Fenton from the Kloof Lawnmower Centre spotted the article and promptly approached the conservancy with an offer to assist with the purchase of the machine.
“He has always been keen to support the use of our public open spaces,” said the Hillcrest Conservancy’s chairman, George Victor. “Many young families are now using the cycle track during the week, and the need to maintain this facility has become more important.”
The cycle track now connects Kloof station to Botha’s Hill (Mkhize Road), and has become an important area for outdoor activities that includes trail running and hiking.
Fenton also assisted the conservancy with the purchase of a brush cutter that Victor said has been invaluable as it has helped them control the areas where Bramble and other invasive bushes have spread.
