What Gardening Equipment Do You Need?
Turf cutters strip existing grass cleanly for replanting or hard landscaping. Rotavators break up compacted ground for new beds, borders and vegetable plots. On the clay-with-flints found on the Downs above Hove and Patcham, the ground is heavy — rotavation before planting gives roots the best chance.
Aerators punch holes through compacted turf to let air, water and nutrients reach the roots. Scarifiers remove thatch and moss. On clay soils, compaction builds up quickly — annual aeration keeps lawns draining and growing. Call 01273 596 979 and describe your project.
Gardening Equipment Hire Range
New-build gardens across Burgess Hill, Hassocks and Hurstpierpoint often start as bare clay — ground compacted hard by construction traffic. A rotavator breaks up the surface and works in organic matter. On established gardens across Hove, Patcham and the Downs, annual scarifying removes the moss and thatch that build up on clay soils. The results speak for themselves — a scarified lawn drains better, grows stronger and stays green longer.
The Southwick depot stocks turf cutters, rotavators, aerators, scarifiers and lawn mowers. All machines are petrol-powered and serviced between hires.
Turf cutters produce clean, even strips for relaying or composting. Rotavators come in widths to suit garden borders through to full allotments. Aerators and scarifiers cover standard domestic lawn widths.
Full specifications for the complete gardening equipment range are listed in the Coppard online catalogue.

Frequently Asked Questions — Gardening Equipment Hire
What is the best time to aerate a lawn?
Autumn is ideal — the ground is moist but not waterlogged. On the clay-with-flints above Hove and Patcham, avoid aerating in winter when the ground is saturated.
Can I rotavate clay soil?
Yes, but timing matters. Rotavate clay-with-flints ground when it is moist and workable — not saturated and not baked dry. Spring and early autumn are usually the best windows.
Do I need to scarify every year?
Annual scarifying removes thatch and moss that build up on clay soils. One pass in early autumn keeps the lawn draining and growing.
