Your Autumn Essentials – All in One Place

As the mornings grow crisper and leaves begin their golden descent, autumn arrives — the season when your garden needs a little extra care to get it ready for winter and to set it up for spring. This is a prime time for autumn garden machinery to shine. At Godfreys Sevenoaks, we understand that the right tools make all the difference. From clearing fallen leaves to preparing turf for the colder months, here’s your go-to guide — and all in one place.

1. Leaf Management Tools — Blowers and Vacuums

Leaves are beautiful — until they overwhelm your lawn, borders, and pathways. Without efficient leaf blowers and garden vacuums, autumn tidying becomes a tedious chore.

• Blowers help you swiftly clear leaves from lawns, patios, and driveways. A powerful blower can move wet or damp leaves, cut through debris, and make quick work of large surfaces.
• Garden vacuums are ideal for collecting leaves, twigs, and light debris, often shredding them as they collect — turning garden waste into mulch.
• Some machines combine the two functions (blow + vacuum), giving you both flexibility and convenience.

At Godfreys, we stock a wide selection of high-quality blowers and vacuums (battery, petrol, or electric) from trusted brands. So whether you have a compact garden or an estate, you’ll find equipment suited to your scale.

Using the right leaf management tools ensures your lawn stays healthy (avoiding leaf matting), your paths clear, and your autumn cleanup is less of a slog.

2. Lawn Recovery & Maintenance — Scarifiers, Mowers & Servicing

Autumn is also the season to revive and strengthen your lawn. After months of growth and summer stress, your turf needs breathing space and care. Here’s where scarifiers and well-maintained mowers come into play.

• Scarifiers help remove moss, thatch, and compacted debris, allowing air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deeper into the soil. A scarifying pass helps your lawn recover faster and encourages stronger growth come spring.
• A sharp lawn mower, especially with fresh blades, gives your grass clean cuts. A dull blade tears the grass, weakening it and inviting disease.
• Professional servicing of garden machinery (mowers, ride-ons, scarifiers, etc.) ensures consistent performance, prolongs machine life, and helps you avoid breakdowns during peak seasons.

At Godfreys Sevenoaks, we offer full workshop servicing for all your machines — rotary mowers, ride-ons and more. You can book your machine in and rest assured it will be ready when you need it.

By combining scarification with a clean mow (or overseeding where needed), your lawn can head into winter stronger and healthier.

3. Firewood & Clean‑Up Equipment — Chainsaws, Shredders, Log Splitters

Autumn is when fallen branches become firewood, garden waste piles up, and woody debris demands attention. The right equipment makes this work safe, fast, and effective.

• Chainsaws allow you to cut down dead limbs, trim fallen branches, and section logs for firewood. Choosing the right bar length and engine type (petrol, electric, cordless) is key.
• Shredders / chippers help you turn branches and garden waste into mulch or woodchip — ideal for composting or mulching paths.
• Log splitters make quick work of turning logs into ready-to-burn firewood, especially useful for those with wood-burning stoves or open fires.

Godfreys stocks a variety of chainsaws, shredders/chippers, and log splitters — from domestic to more heavy-duty models. We also supply the parts, blades, and safety gear needed to keep you safe and efficient.

With well-maintained chainsaws and splitters, tackling your winter fuel supply becomes a smooth, satisfying job rather than a slog.
