The Essential Guide To Professional STIHL Tools for Groundscare and Landscaping.
When you think of STIHL, you might first think of chainsaws, but their product range for professional groundscare is just as impressive. From local councils to sports clubs and landscapers, professionals across the UK rely on STIHL for its unparalleled durability, performance, and efficiency.
At Winchester Garden Machinery, we have supplied STIHL's professional equipment to countless organisations over the years, and we know exactly what it takes to stand up to daily, demanding use. This guide will take a look at some of the key machines that are essential for any professional grounds maintenance team.

High-Performance Machinery for the Toughest Jobs
Professional work requires more than just power; it demands reliability and ergonomic design. STIHL’s professional equipment is built from the ground up to meet these needs.
- Brushcutters and Strimmers: For clearing dense vegetation or maintaining verges, STIHL's petrol and battery-powered brushcutters offer a perfect balance of power and comfort. Models like the STIHL FS 461 C-EM are built for long working days.
- Hedge Trimmers and Long-Reach Pole Pruners: When it comes to shaping large hedges or pruning high branches, STIHL’s range is second to none. The long-reach pruners allow you to tackle difficult jobs from the ground, ensuring safety and precision.
- Leaf Blowers: For large-scale autumn clean-ups, nothing beats a powerful blower. The STIHL BR 800 C-E, with its immense blowing force, is a game-changer for professional teams.
The Role of Battery Technology
Many professionals are now transitioning to STIHL's powerful AP Battery System. It offers a comparable level of performance as petrol models but with reduced noise and vibrations, making it ideal for working in public spaces and residential areas. Models like the STIHL HLA 66 & HLA 86 have become must-haves in any fleet of battery tools. To learn more about this technology, you can read our guide on STIHL's AK & AP Battery Systems.
