TOOLS , PLANT & EQUIPMENT

Etesia goal achieved for Four Seasons Gardening .

It was a brand of mower he always wanted and now , Lee Norris , owner of Four Seasons Gardening , is the proud owner of four brand new Etesia pedestrian mowers .

Eight years ago , Lee Norris took the decision to start his own business and was equipped only with a lawnmower and an old Ford Fiesta . Fast forward to 2021 , and his company now has five members of staff and boasts a glowing reputation throughout South Wales .

Lee pinpoints the success of the company to the advice and criticism he received from his mentor .

“ When I was 18 years old , I started working with a landscaping company and I had never pushed a mower in my life ,” he said . “ I went everywhere with the owner and he taught me everything I needed to know . He was an absolute perfectionist , and his work was so precise and neat . If , for example , I left just one leaf on a driveway then he would quickly let me know about it ! I often wondered why he gave me a hard time but now I know – he was showing me that it is the little things that go an incredibly long way .”

Lee and his team now tend to many private and commercial projects and it is these high standards which has ensured that the company has never lost a contract . These standards demanded by Lee , not only apply to work ethic , but also to the equipment – and there is one brand that he has always had in his sights .

“ I first heard of Etesia many years ago when I was first starting out in the industry ,” he said . “ Someone in the local area had one and he used to rave about how good it was and how it could cut and collect in the wet . I saw him using it and from that day I was adamant that one day I was going to get one .

“ As the years progressed , and my company grew nothing had changed - I was forever telling the guys that soon we will have a fleet of Etesia mowers to use .”

Etesia UK also came from relatively humble beginnings . Although a revolutionary and market-leading brand in France , Etesia entered the UK market in 1995 with only one walk- behind and one ride-on machine . Over the years Etesia UK has grown rapidly and now offers a wide range of products that include a variety of walk-behind , rideon mowers and the highly regarded Attila range of brush cutters .

With an extensive range of products in the Etesia portfolio , Lee was keen to ensure he made the correct decision . Lee purchased four PRO 46 PHTS3 ’ s and believes they have certainly lived up to his expectations .

“ I can ’ t praise these machines enough ,” he said .

“ The customer service from Etesia has been great at all times and I ’ m just very happy with the purchase .”
