If you want to tend to your garden with confidence, you need tools you can rely on—machinery that blends top levels of performance with ease of use and long-lasting quality. That’s why we are proud to be an Authorised Dealer for the world’s most trusted and forward-thinking garden equipment brands.

With centuries of combined innovation, these manufacturers have redefined how we mow, trim, cut, mulch and maintain our outdoor spaces. And as recognition for everything they’ve done for their millions of customers, we’ve decided to shine a spotlight on six of the top names you’ll find in our unrivalled line-up: STIHL, Husqvarna, Segway, Honda, STIGA, and EGO. Each has earned its reputation for excellence in a different way—but all share a passion for helping gardeners, groundskeepers and professionals get their jobs done to the highest possible standards.

STIHL: A Century of Innovation in Your Hands

Few names in the garden and forestry world command the same respect as STIHL. With a legacy stretching back to the invention of the first portable petrol chainsaw by Andreas Stihl in the 1920s, this is a company built on revolutionary thinking. That same spirit is found in every STIHL product today—from their best-selling petrol chainsaws to rapidly growing battery-powered range of products.

STIHL is much more than a chainsaw brand. Their portfolio includes hedge trimmers, blowers, strimmers, lawn mowers, robotic mowers, professional-grade garden multi-tools, and more. Designed for everyone from enthusiastic amateur gardeners to arborists and landscapers, each machine reflects STIHL’s meticulous attention to detail and commitment to top-tier engineering.

With over 2,500 patents and a focus on in-house manufacturing, STIHL puts product quality and user experience first. Their investment in battery technology has yielded an impressive range of cordless tools that rival petrol for performance while offering quieter operation and zero emissions during use. Tools are designed to be repairable, and STIHL ensures that spare parts are available for at least ten years after a product goes out of production—testament to their long-term thinking and ethos of sustainability.

STIHL is still a family-owned business, and their exclusive dealer network—of which we’re proud to be a part—is known for offering expert advice and unbeatable after-sales support. It’s no wonder they’ve earned such a loyal worldwide following.

Husqvarna: Technology and Tradition in Harmony

With origins dating all the way back to 1689, Husqvarna is a brand that combines heritage with cutting-edge innovation. Over the centuries, the Swedish company has gone from producing muskets to sewing machines, bicycles and motorcycles—before cementing its place as a global leader in outdoor power tools.

Today, Husqvarna is perhaps best known for its incredible contribution to robotic mowing technology. As the first to launch a solar-powered robotic mower in the 1990s, the brand has gone on to sell over 4 million robotic units across its global network. Their Automower® range remains a benchmark for smart, autonomous lawn care, featuring GPS tracking, app control and seamless connectivity with other smart home devices.

But there’s far, far more to Husqvarna than robots. Their extensive range of offerings includes petrol and battery-powered chainsaws, brushcutters, hedge trimmers, ride-on mowers, leaf blowers, and more. Their battery products are light, low-noise and highly effective, being developed for both domestic gardens and professional landscapes.

Husqvarna’s dedication to sustainability runs deep, from battery development to digital fleet management services for contractors and land managers. Initiatives like ‘Husqvarna Loves Parks’ also reflect a commitment to giving back to the communities they serve. Whether you’re caring for a small garden or managing a park estate, Husqvarna offers dependable tools built for performance, precision and pride.

Segway: Intelligent Lawn Care for the Modern Age

Segway are pioneers in intelligent short-distance transportation and service robots, and their innovative thinking has now entered the world of garden machinery. With the launch of Segway Navimow robot mowers, they’ve brought a fresh, intelligent approach to lawncare.

These wire-free robomows are controlled entirely via an app and powered by advanced EFLS 3.0 signal technology for pinpoint accuracy. From effortless lawn mapping to voice control via Alexa and Google Home, Segway has made the process of mowing your lawn not only incredibly simple but genuinely enjoyable. It’s an exciting prospect for anyone seeking minimal maintenance with maximum results.

The Navimow range—particularly the new X3 Series—offers exceptional runtime, whisper-quiet operation, and advanced anti-theft features. If you’re looking to modernise your lawncare routine with the latest tech, Segway delivers convenience without compromise.

Honda: Legendary Reliability, Modern Innovation

When you think of engineering excellence, Honda is likely to be one of the first names that springs to mind. Known for their legendary engines and automotive craftsmanship, the company has brought the same level of refinement and reliability to its outstanding range of garden tools and machinery.

From self-propelled lawnmowers to ultra-efficient brushcutters and advanced tillers, Honda machines are built with precision and comfort in mind. Their lawn tractor lineup includes highly sophisticated designs with V-Twin engines, easy-to-use controls, and selectable speed systems for a smooth and comfortable drive.

Honda has also made waves in the robotic mower space. The award-winning Miimo range—featuring sleek aesthetics and intelligent navigation—is designed to maintain lawns of all shapes and sizes with quiet efficiency. Whether you’re after cutting-edge robotic technology or a heavy-duty mower for a large plot, Honda offers solutions that combine both performance and practicality.

STIGA: Italian Engineering with a Gardener’s Touch

Founded in Italy and now a major player right across the world, STIGA is a brand known for blending high-performance engineering with practical design. Whether you’re tackling a small lawn or sprawling estate, STIGA tools are created to make every job smoother and more satisfying.

STIGA produces everything from lawnmowers and out-front riders to chainsaws, sweepers and robot mowers—each designed to work in harmony with the natural rhythms of your garden. Their philosophy is grounded in seasonal awareness, environmental responsibility, and intuitive controls that suit real-life gardeners.

What sets STIGA apart is its thoughtful design approach. Products are made to focus on ergonomics, noise reduction, and usability. Their commitment to quality and safety is evident across all of the company’s offerings, ensuring your investment lasts for decades to come. With over 90 years of gardening know-how under their belt, STIGA continues to inspire and empower gardeners of every experience level.

EGO: Battery Power That Rivals Petrol

If you’re looking for the cleanest, quietest way to maintain your outdoor space—without sacrificing performance—look no further than EGO. This forward-thinking company has made it their mission to redefine what cordless power tools can achieve, and they’re succeeding in style.

The cornerstone of EGO’s success is their 56V ARC Lithium™ battery system, which offers the highest energy capacity in the handheld market. It’s an innovation that allows EGO’s lawnmowers, hedge trimmers, multi tools, chainsaws, and riders to outperform many petrol-powered equivalents, all while reducing noise, emissions and running costs.

Launched in Europe in 2014 and part of the renowned Chervon Group, EGO has already cemented itself as a go-to choice for eco-conscious home gardeners and professionals alike. Their equipment is rugged, efficient, and brilliantly user-friendly, making battery power a truly viable option for even the most demanding outdoor tasks.
