Find the right kit
What are you working on?
Pick a job and we'll point you to the right machines, tools and supplies, with a tip from our team.
The right mower for your lawn
From compact electric mowers for townhouse lawns to petrol workhorses and robotic mowers that do the job for you. Tell us your lawn size and grass type and we'll match the machine.
Greenfinger tip: Never cut more than a third of the grass blade at once. On fast-growing kikuyu in summer, that means mowing weekly.
Neat edges and overgrown corners
Trimmers for crisp edges, brushcutters for long grass and bush, and the line, blades and safety gear to go with them.
Greenfinger tip: Match the line to the job: thinner line for neat edges, thicker line or a blade for long grass and bush.
Shape hedges and tame trees
Hedge trimmers for every size of hedge, pole pruners for high branches and chainsaws for everything from pruning to firewood.
Greenfinger tip: A sharp chain cuts faster and safer. If you have to push down to make it cut, it's time for a new chain. We stock chains for most saws.
Clear up in half the time
Blowers for leaves and paving, shredders that turn prunings into mulch, and pressure washers for paths, patios and pool surrounds.
Greenfinger tip: Shred prunings and leaves rather than bagging them. It's free mulch that keeps beds cool and holds moisture.
Healthy soil, greener lawns
Compost, fertilisers and lawn feeds, plus the sprayers, spikers and hand tools to apply them properly.
Greenfinger tip: Feed and water in the cool of the evening during hot, dry spells, so nutrients soak in instead of drying out. Compost and fertiliser are collect in store or quoted delivery.
Estates, smallholdings and garden services
Ride-ons, zero-turns, front mowers and industrial mowers built for big lawns and daily commercial use, backed by our own workshop.
Greenfinger tip: Running a garden service? Chat to us about commercial-grade machines and keeping your fleet serviced.
Backup power and water on the move
Generators for backup power, water pumps for tanks, ponds and pools, and a growing battery range that runs on one shared battery.
Greenfinger tip: Sizing a generator? Add up the watts of everything you need to run at once, then allow around 20 percent extra.

Garden calendar
What to do in your garden this month
A month-by-month guide for Highveld gardens, with the kit that makes each job easier. We open it on this month for you.
January
MidsummerLawn
Peak growing season. Mow every five to seven days and set the cut slightly higher during heatwaves to shade the roots.
Beds, trees and hedges
Deadhead and feed flowering plants. Water deeply in the early morning between storms rather than a little every day.
Kit and workshop
A blunt blade tears grass and turns the tips brown. We sharpen cylinder mower blades, and stock replacement rotary blades.
Shop blades and accessoriesFebruary
Late summerLawn
Keep mowing weekly and edge every second cut. Give the lawn its last summer feed this month.
Beds, trees and hedges
Trim hedges after the summer flush so they thicken up before autumn.
Kit and workshop
Hedge trimmers in petrol, electric and battery for every size of hedge.
Shop hedge trimmersMarch
Early autumnLawn
Growth starts to slow. Gradually raise the cutting height and move away from nitrogen-heavy feeds.
Beds, trees and hedges
Plant spring-flowering bulbs and sow winter annuals such as pansies and violas.
Kit and workshop
Compost and fertiliser to prepare your beds for autumn planting.
Shop compost and fertiliserApril

Feed with a low-nitrogen, potassium-rich autumn fertiliser to help the lawn cope with frost.
Beds, trees and hedges
Rake up falling leaves and shred prunings into mulch and compost.
May
Late autumnLawn
The last few mows of the season. Keep leaves off the lawn so the grass still gets light.
Beds, trees and hedges
Mulch beds to protect roots before the first frost and cover frost-tender plants.
Kit and workshop
The workshop is quieter now, so turnaround is faster. Book your mower's annual service.

Prune deciduous trees and remove dead wood while plants are dormant.
Kit and workshop
Chainsaws and pole pruners for safe, clean cuts on trees and high branches.
Shop chainsawsJuly

Kit and workshop
Pre-season service: oil change, filters, spark plug and a sharpened blade, ready for spring.

Dig compost into beds ahead of spring planting.
Kit and workshop
Rakes, forks, spikers and hand tools for spring lawn and bed prep.

Once the lawn is actively growing, give it a spring feed and water it in well. Start mowing on a high setting.
Beds, trees and hedges
Plant summer annuals and vegetables once the risk of frost has passed.
October
SpringLawn
Growth picks up with the first rains. Mow weekly on a higher setting in the heat, and feed every six to eight weeks, watering it in.
Beds, trees and hedges
Hot, dry spells are common now. Water deeply at night or early morning, mulch beds to hold moisture, and spray for pests early.
Kit and workshop
Time for a mower that keeps up. Petrol, electric, battery and robotic options in store.
Shop lawnmowersNovember

Full summer growth. Mow weekly and keep edges neat with a trimmer every second cut.
Beds, trees and hedges

Shop robotic mowersWritten for Gauteng and Highveld gardens. Coastal and Lowveld gardens run a little differently, so ask us in store.
