“WE HAVE MOVED LOCK, STOCK AND
BARREL TO MAKITA” SAYS LANDFORM
MD
“I’m really impressed with Makita’s 4-stroke
blower and it’s saving us a great deal of time.
Over the past two years we have changed our
tool inventory lock, stock and barrel to Makita,”
says Mark Gregory, landscape design guru and
managing director of Landform Consultants.
Landform build award-winning show gardens,
provide landscape designs and construction,
together with a full grounds maintenance
service. “Makita tools are a perfect companion
for our garden construction requirements:
powerful, totally reliable and always the first
choice of our teams,” continues Mark.
Improved on-site performance is confirmed
by Alan Hemmings, Landform’s estate garden
manager: “The Makita 4-stroke line trimmer is
a really powerful machine which can cut great
swathes of rough pasture in no time at all. Its
big power output allows us to get far more work
delivered than with a 2-stroke; and we are using
less fuel but delivering a greater amount of work.
The blower offers better economy, the harness is
brilliant and comfortable, and it’s so very quiet.
This 4-stroke engine has much lower vibration
which is important over longer periods of use.
You can’t go wrong with a Makita 4-stroke.”
