BLEC makes
up the fleet for
Talbot Farm
Landscapes!
Equipped with a fleet of BLEC machinery, Talbot Farm Landscapes and Talbot Sports Turf can
tackle landscape and groundcare projects of all shapes and sizes. With the latest count standing at
21 machines from across the BLEC portfolio, Director Sean Goodwin relies on the versatility and
efficiency the range offers when it comes to groundworks and surface preparation.
stablished for over 30 years and with a
team of over 40 operatives, Talbot take on
commercial landscape projects and sports
turf contracting throughout the UK and
Europe. They have worked at every national
stadium in the UK, and proudly installed the turf at the
London Olympic Stadium following the opening ceremony.
“With a lot of our projects there is no margin for error, and
that’s where trust and a thorough understanding of our
equipment comes in” explains Sean. “I know with such a range
of BLEC equipment at my disposal, that no matter the type
of surface we’re dealing with, that we have the equipment we
need to complete the job efficiently.”

In addition to four Cultipack Seeders, Talbot’s has a Disc
Seeder; Turfmaker; five Blecavators of varying widths;
three Power Box Rakes; two Rotor Rakes; a 2.5m Laser
Grader and two Multi-Seeders. “The beauty of the BLEC
machines is that they show a real understanding of what the
commercial landscaper and sports turf contractor requires,
demonstrated by their versatility. While the Blecavator is
technically a stone burier it does so much more than that –
you can move material off the surface and prepare an ideal
seed bed, all with one machine.”

“The Cultipack Seeder is another multi-functional tool that
does more than just deliver seed into the ground. The front
notched rollers aid in the preparation of surfaces and as a
compact, pedestrian unit we can easily manoeuvre this into
restricted access sites. To achieve optimal results, we can
use the Cultipack in conjunction with other seeders, such as
the Turfmaker, on larger scale projects.”
The most recent addition for Sean was a Multi-Seeder
2100, the first machine purchased via Charterhouse Turf
Machinery. “The BLEC build quality has always impressed me
but under the guidance of Redexim it is now even better –
well engineered and attention paid to every detail. With the
resources available to Redexim, the manufacturing prowess
and the ability to stock a wider range of parts through their
dealer network, they will be able to take BLEC to the next
level.”
