Spring Proof Your Garden With The Toro® Flex-Force Power System™

With spring around just around the corner, now is the perfect time to get out and start preparing your outdoor space for the warmer months ahead. Whether you’re an avid gardener or keen novice, the right tools and know-how can make a world of difference when tackling the big garden spring clean. To help you on your way, Toro, a global leader in turf and landscape equipment, has shared some advice to help you transform your garden this spring with the help of the all-new, environmentally friendly yet powerful, Flex-Force range.

Restore and revive

The colder months have likely left all matter of debris and leaves on your lawn. Making sure you clear your lawn ahead of the spring and summer months will help ensure that the grass can breathe and access sunlight to reduce the likelihood of disease and mould from developing. The Flex-Force 60V¹ leaf blower is the ideal tool to help clear your lawn. Reaching air speeds of 115mph², the blower features a variable speed trigger and ‘cruise control’ giving you maximum comfort and control. The turbo boost button will provide extra power for those hard to clear jobs whilst retaining a long battery life. Once you’ve cleared all debris, be sure to gather it into your compost pile so you can make the most of the nutrients and give your plants and flowers a well-deserved treat.

Getting the lawn ready

After a long autumn and winter, your lawn might be in need of some tender loving care. As the grass will be growing quicker as the weather gets warmer, you’ll need to start mowing more regularly. The new Flex-Force 55cm (22”) Recycler® 60V¹ mower is an easy and effective way to deal with an overgrown lawn. For comfort and ease, the mower is equipped with the Toro Easy Start function, which allows the you to easily start the machine with just the push of a button – in addition to the Automatic Drive System, which adjusts the speed of the mower to match your pace. When mowing in spring, remember to keep the cutting height high at first as to not stress the lawn. As the grass grows stronger you can increase the frequency of mowing and gradually reduce the cutting height.

The Recycler mower can also recut the grass trimmings into a fine mulch, which can then be added back to the soil to add further nutrients, helping your local ecosystem. Toro’s SmartStow® also helps reduce the amount of space the mower takes up when stored away by folding completely upright. The intelligent RunSmart™ power system allows you to adapt and change the output of power to keep on going regardless of terrain.

Tidy those edges

Finally, once your lawn is looking sharp, it’s time to sort out those edges. The Flex-Force 60V cordless string trimmer is just the tool to help. The lightweight, yet robust, string trimmer shares the same lithium-ion battery as the other products in the range. With a sturdy cast-aluminium head and spool free line replacement, it is always quick and easy to get the job done.

All new Flex-Force products are powered by a 60V lithium-ion battery to give you easy power, making gardening as easy and convenient as possible. The batteries are fully interchangeable between the products in the range to ensure you’re always equipped with plenty of power to continue your gardening.

The full Flex-Force range is available from Toro dealers in spring 2020.
