Introduction: A Healthy Lawn Is a Year-Round Job

Hi, I’m Tony – I own Grasscutting Services here in Dublin 12. I’ve been caring for lawns and properties in Dublin for over 20 years, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: a great lawn doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of good habits, consistent attention, and using the right tools.

People often think lawn care is only for the summer, but if you really want a healthy, lush, green lawn, it needs love in every season. And with today’s battery-powered professional tools—especially the STIHL AP range I use—you don’t have to break your back (or your ears) to keep on top of things.

Know Your Lawn – Start With the Basics

What kind of grass do you have?

Most Dublin lawns are a mix of ryegrass and fescue. These are hardy and cope well with our wet winters and short summers.

What’s your soil like?

Check your pH, watch for compaction, and feed accordingly. A simple soil test can tell you if you need lime or extra nutrients.

Why I Rely on STIHL Battery Powered Professional AP Tools – Cleaner, Quieter Lawn Care

I’ve transitioned all my landscaping crews to STIHL battery powered professional AP tools—and the difference in performance, peace of mind, and power is unreal.

These cordless commercial-grade landscaping tools are quiet enough for early morning jobs, tough enough for Dublin’s unpredictable weather, and best of all—they require almost zero maintenance.

Whether it’s the STIHL RMA 765 V battery lawn mower, the AP 300 S battery system, or the FSA 86 R trimmer, everything runs cleaner, quicker, and without the fumes.

✅ Recent Additions to Our Toolkit

🔧 STIHL HSA 130 R Cordless Hedgetrimmer

One of our recent upgrades is the STIHL HSA 130 R Cordless Hedgetrimmer. It’s got a 30″ cutting blade, runs on the AP system, and offers low-noise, high-precision hedge trimming—perfect for keeping tight lines on formal gardens.

💦 STIHL REA 100 Battery Pressure Washer

A quiet revolution in cleaning, the STIHL REA 100 Plus Pro Battery Pressure Washer is lightweight, powerful, and cordless. We use it to clean patios, edging stones, and tools—no petrol, no dragging cables.

🍂 STIHL BGA 250 Cordless Blower – STIHL’s Most Powerful Handheld Leaf Blower

This one’s already a crew favourite. The STIHL BGA 250 is the most powerful handheld leaf blower STIHL has ever made, and you feel it as soon as you press the trigger.

  • Incredible blowing force for fast, efficient clearing

  • Ideal for autumn leaves, gravel paths, and post-mowing cleanup

  • Compact, well-balanced, and totally cordless

  • Runs perfectly on our AP 300 S batteries

This machine saves time on every job. No more rakes, no more noise complaints.

Everything we’ve added recently—from blowers to trimmers to pressure washers—is part of our full commitment to the STIHL AP Battery Powered Professional Tool system.

All purchases and servicing are handled through A-Z Hire – STIHL Dealer in Dublin.
