The Advantages of Towed Leaf Sweepers
If you have a large garden that has a great number of mature trees in it you will no doubt suffer from the amount of leaves they drop come the autumn. Picking up these leaves really can be a real task and if you’re not used to working outside you’re sure to end up with some pretty painful blisters.
If your garden is that large then you will probably already have a utility vehicle. If this is the case you’ll be pleased to hear that you can get a towed lawn sweeper that will quickly and easily attached to the back of it. For large gardens a towed leaf sweeper really is a great way of picking up leaves and other debris on your lawn quickly and efficiently. Some models are up to 4 feet wide which means the amount to-ing and fro-ing you have to do will be kept to a minimum.
Many of these towed lawn sweepers have great features built into them that have been well thought through, for example, when you reverse the bristles on the brushes will not turn and therefore preventing scattering all of what you have just collected back over your lawn. They also feature a method emptying the hopper without you having to leave the seat of the vehicle you’re on. For the less able gardener they really are a dream come true because you’ll be able to look after more of your garden again.
When looking for lawn sweeper make sure that you get the sort where the bristles are infinitely adjustable. Being able to adjust the height of the bristles to the lawn means you can accommodate any grass length and don’t have to wait until it gets to a certain height. The type where the height of the bristles is adjusted in steps is okay – if you’re on a budget – but if you can stretch to it I would really try to avoid them.
