Our summer in South Africa runs from November-February, and we expect beautifully hot, dry, sunny days, with average highs of 29°C. It’s good practice when cutting grass in summer to remove no more than one-third of the grass blade, leaving a maximum height of 9-10 cm. You should try not to always mow in the same pattern, instead alternate the cutting direction each time you mow. It’s important to cut regularly, as mowing with the right technique and frequency makes the lawn more resistant to fungal infections, and helps create a dense turf with no bare patches which prevents weeds from finding space to thrive.

Brush cutters and other gardening tools make it easier to keep your garden neat and tidy. Tools increase your efficiency and productivity in the garden meaning you can do more in less time. Gardening tools such as brush cutters, petrol lawn mowers, edge trimmers, chainsaws, leaf blowers and other gardening tools and accessories are ideal if you do not have a lot of time to prune and preen your garden. Large or small gardens need care and attention to ensure your flowers and plants are healthy to continue growing. You should choose a brush cutter most suited for your needs, whether you’ll be using it for trimming grass, small bush or under growth. If you need to clear very thick and rough or large areas, Heavy Duty Brush Cutters are a better option than just a grass trimmer. Brush cutters are usually a lot more robust and stronger as they come in different power outputs and engine sizes. This gives you more options when choosing brush cutters as you can choose one that is right for the job. Brush cutters are versatile so you can also use the machine for clearing shrubs, thinning smaller trees, and undergrowth. For comfort and safety, choose a brush cutter that has an anti-vibration feature. This can reduce tiredness in your hands caused by gripping the handle bars tightly. The vibrations use up more of your energy so an anti-vibration feature can reduce energy loss.
