    Blowers Finance for UK Landscaping Contractors

    Industrial leaf blowers are essential tools for UK landscaping contractors, allowing teams to manage debris removal efficiently across gardens, estates, commercial sites, parks, and hard-to-reach environments. Whether clearing wet leaf piles, heavy debris, hedge clippings, sawdust, or litter, contractors rely on high-performance equipment that balances power, fuel efficiency, ergonomics, and low maintenance.

    Gable Business Finance supports landscaping contractors across the UK with tailored asset finance for industrial blowers – from handheld cordless units to large backpack petrol models and wheeled blowers used for sports fields and estates.


    Types of Industrial Blowers Used by UK Landscaping Contractors

    1. Petrol Backpack Blowers

    Backpack blowers remain the most powerful and preferred option for heavy-duty commercial use. Brands like Stihl (BR series) and Husqvarna BTS series dominate the professional market due to their enormous airflow (CFM) and airspeed (MPH).

    Ideal for:

    • Large commercial estates
    • Wet, compacted leaves
    • Heavy debris around construction or tree surgery sites
    • Autumn clean-ups and large-scale operations

    2. Cordless Battery Blowers

    Modern cordless blowers from EGO Power+, Milwaukee M18, DeWalt and Husqvarna now rival petrol machines while offering:

    • Quiet operation (ideal for residential work)
    • Zero emissions
    • Low vibration and reduced fatigue
    • Shared battery platforms with other tools

    3. Handheld Petrol Blowers

    Compact, powerful, and reliable, handheld petrol blowers are used for small-to-medium areas, hedge clearing, and day-to-day maintenance.

    4. Blower-Vacs (Blower/Vacuum/Shredders)

    Combination units allow landscapers to blow, vacuum, and mulch leaves in one tool. These are best for tidier jobs, though wet debris can clog cheaper units.

    5. Wheeled/Walk-Behind Blowers

    Wheeled blowers deliver exceptional power for sports fields, golf courses, large estates, and event spaces. They are less common for domestic landscapers but invaluable for large-scale contractors.


    Key Features Contractors Should Compare Before Buying

    • CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute): Indicates total airflow — critical for moving large debris volumes.
    • MPH (Miles Per Hour): Speed of air exiting the nozzle — important for lifting wet or compacted material.
    • Power Source: Petrol for raw power; cordless for quiet, eco-friendly operation.
    • Ergonomics: Harness quality, vibration levels, balance, padded straps.
    • Weight: Backpack blowers should distribute weight evenly to prevent fatigue.
    • Noise Levels: Cordless systems offer major advantages in noise-sensitive areas (schools, care homes, hotels).
    • Durability: Commercial-grade blowers should withstand daily use and harsh conditions.

    Top Professional Blower Brands in the UK

    • Stihl: Industry-leading petrol blowers — BR 430, BR 600, BR 800.
    • Husqvarna: Powerful BTS backpack blowers for professional landscapers.
    • EGO Power+: One of the top cordless systems for pro use.
    • Milwaukee M18 Fuel: A favourite among contractors already using the M18 ecosystem.
    • Honda: Reliable 4-stroke petrol handheld models.

    Why Landscapers Finance Blowers Through Gable Business Finance

    Industrial blowers may appear inexpensive compared to tractors or chippers, but landscaping contractors rarely purchase just one blower. Many run fleets of:

    • Battery blowers for residential rounds
    • Backpack petrol blowers for heavy work
    • Walk-behind blowers for estates and sports fields
    • Blower-vacs for hedge cutting and autumn clearance

    Buying in multiples adds up – which is why asset finance provides predictable, affordable monthly payments and allows companies to refresh equipment frequently.

    Finance Options Available Through Gable Business Finance

    • Hire Purchase (HP): Own the blower at the end of the term.
    • Finance Lease: Lower monthly cost, with options to upgrade at end.
    • Operating Lease: Ideal for high-use equipment with regular replacement.
    • Asset Refinance: Release cash from equipment you already own.
    • Seasonal Payments: Perfect for contractors whose income fluctuates seasonally.

    FAQ: Blowers for Landscaping Contractors

    Are petrol or battery blowers better for contractors?

    Petrol offers peak power for heavy-duty tasks, while battery systems offer quieter operation, lower running costs, and reduced emissions. Many contractors run both.

    Do cordless blowers last long enough for commercial work?

    Modern pro-grade systems (EGO, Milwaukee, Husqvarna) can run 30–90 minutes per battery, with rapid chargers and backpack battery options.

    Can blower equipment be financed even if it’s used?

    Yes. Gable Business Finance can finance both new and used blowers, including private sales.

    Is soft landscaping equipment eligible for finance?

    Yes — anything from £500 to £500,000 can be financed, including blowers, mowers, chippers, and multi-tool systems.

    Do contractors need several types of blowers?

    Often yes — backpack for heavy work, handheld for detail work, and cordless for noise-sensitive areas.
