‘Leaf’ your lawn foliage-free – the best blowers to keep your garden tidy
‘Leaf’ your lawn foliage-free – the best blowers to keep your garden tidy
It’s been a fantastic summer – but all things come to an end!
Autumn is approaching fast, and with the cold, windy weather approaching, the leaves are already starting to fall. Allowing fallen leaves build up in your garden can cause serious damage to your lawn, depriving it of the oxygen and nutrients it needs to thrive come spring.
Keeping your garden free from leaves can be a pain – make this thankless task much easier with a fantastic leaf blower from Keen Gardener. We stock a fantastic range of blowers at Keen Gardener, with something to suit every requirement and budget.
In this buying guide, we take a look at a few different categories and options, designed to help you pick the perfect blower for your garden.
Go cordless
Cordless technology has come a long way! The latest generation of long-lasting, powerful Lithium Ion batteries has enabled manufacturers to create blowers that provide the best of both worlds – the portability and power of petrol with the convenience and ease of use of electric.
Purchase one of these models, and you won’t have to mess about with messy oil or petrol, and won’t be restricted by your access to mains power:
- Cobra 24V LI ION Blower – cost-effective and lightweight, it’s ideal for light duty applications
- Bosch ALB 36 LI Cordless Leaf Blower – effortless leaf blowing from a brand you can depend on
- EGO LB4800E Cordless Leaf Blower – with a 56v battery, it’s the most powerful rechargeable blower on the market, good for up to 1hour of medium/heavy-duty work
Don’t blow the budget
On a tight budget? You don’t have to spend a fortune on a blower to get results.
A simple but effective electric blower vacuum, like this Cobra BV2600 is ideal. With an integrated power mulching system, 2600W output, 270km/h airspeed and large 45 litre collection bag – it’s a high quality blower vac that’s ideal for smaller gardens.
Petrol power
For heavy-duty clearance jobs and large gardens, a powerful petrol blower is the natural choice. Lightweight but powerful, the Cobra 26CC Blower Vac is great for medium sized gardens. Those with large gardens or lots of blowing to do should consider its bigger brother – the Cobra BP43CC Backpack Blower. With bags of power, it’s capable of tackling all but the very largest of spaces.
Billy Goat Blowers
Now for some serious kit!
If handheld and backpack blowers aren’t enough, then you’ll want to take a look at Billy Goat – a range of push vacuums and wheeled blowers made for big spaces and heavy duty use.
The push vacuums aren’t just great for clearing Autumn leaves, they’re perfect for clearing garden debris all year round. The range includes models for a wide range of spaces, from the entry level Billy Goat LB352 - Little Billy, right up to the Billy Goat TKV650SPH – a self-propelled lawn and litter vac with on-board chipper!
Those looking for a unit that blows rather than sucks should consider the Billy Goat Force range of wheeled blowers. Several times more powerful than the biggest backpack powered blowers, they’re ideal for clearing leaves from large lawns, paddocks and fields in a flash.
