No Land Reclamation Job is Too Tough for BPG Contractors and the Reist Landscaper

B Oldham and covering the North West, has found the perfect machine for land reclamation in the Reist Landscaper from Campey Turf Care Systems.
Specialising in hard and soft landscaping, minor civil engineering works, and projects on golf courses, football pitches, and reclamation sites, BPG Contractors needed a machine that could withstand tough conditions and handle demanding jobs. After a year of use, the Reist Landscaper has proven to be an indispensable asset.
The decision to invest in the Reist Landscaper was driven by its durability and adaptability to various project types.“ It’ s a very robust machine, incredibly well-built and strong,” ex-plains BPG Contractors Director Bryn Wynston.“ We primarily bought it for challenging land reclamation jobs, and it’ s been perfect for that.”
One key job where the machine has excelled is a large-scale reclamation and seeding pro-ject at Vickers Cross Golf Club, where a new short game practice area and golf academy are being constructed.
This job involved importing and re-profiling materials to create the area, with the materials often containing debris such as bricks, wire, and plastic, as they originated from building sites.“ Because the material wasn’ t clean, we needed a machine that could handle these conditions without any mechanical issues,” Bryn explains.“ This is where the Reist Land-scaper’ s design shines, as it has no mechanical parts, such as gearboxes, which could be damaged or become tangled with debris.
“ The lack of mechanical parts makes the machine perfect for this kind of work. There’ s nothing to break, and no need to worry about costly repairs or replacing parts.”
The machine’ s versatility also stood out during the project.“ After the bulldozer had levelled the soil, the Landscaper went over the ground, ripping it up and preparing it for seeding in just a few passes,” Bryn continued.“ In a one-pass operation, it created the perfect seed-bed, so for land reclamation, it’ s absolutely ideal.”
BPG Contractors put considerable thought into finding the right piece of equipment for their needs. After researching the market, they came across the Landscaper through Campey Product Specialists Tom Weston and Richard Campey. After trying out the Landscaper, they were convinced of its capabilities and purchased it immediately.“ Richard demoed the machine for us, and we knew straight away it was exactly what we needed,” Bryn explains.
“ Richard told us to really push the machine to its limits and test it in every possible way. We took on that challenge, and the Landscaper passed every test with flying colours. We were so impressed that we ended up buying it right after.
“ We’ ve used it for everything from re-levelling car parks to ripping up and re-grading farm tracks and old, Redgra surfaced pitches, and the machine has proven its toughness and reliability. It’ s not the kind of machine you worry about damaging. It withstands the toughest jobs with ease, and adding a seeder has made the machine even more useful for us on large scale projects. It will be an ideal machine for sowing wildflower seed on the VCGC project in 2025.”
BPG Contractors are completely convinced that the Reist Landscaper was the right choice. Its robust construction, simple maintenance, and ability to handle tough conditions have made it an invaluable tool in their fleet, helping them complete projects efficiently and cost-effectively.
