Ride On Lawnmowers

Most people are familiar with a simple lawnmower, but using one to cut the grass can be a tiring and time consuming process, especially if you have an above-average sized lawn. Here, Alfresia can be of some help. We have recently introduced a new range of ride-on lawnmowers. These combine efficiency and innovative design to create a powerful tool for tending to your lawn. Our Ride-On Lawnmowers come from two reputable brands with decades of experience in building lawnmowers.

Mountfield Lawnmowers

The Mountfield range of ride-on lawnmowers feature three versions of their flagship mower, each suited to a different type of garden. The 2500SV Compact Lawnmower is suited to smaller gardens and can fit through a standard sized garden gate! It is a great alternative to larger, stand behind mowers. The 2800SH Compact Lawnmower is the middle model, and basically a more powerful version of the 2500 and is suitable for larger gardens. The top of the Mountfield range is the 4000SH Lawn Tractor with a 40in ContraFlo cut and collect system and a hydrostatic transmission system. This Lawn Tractor is ideal for large lawns. All our Mountfield Ride On Lawnmowers use Honda engines, guaranteeing quality, with an electric key start mechanism.


Hayter Lawnmowers

The two Hayter lawnmowers use Briggs & Stratton engines. They are built for comfort and ease of use and are great tools for getting lawns of any size mowed. They lack some of the power of the Mountfield-Honda models, but are cheaper and still have the ability to get the job done. Both feature an astonishing 6 cutting heights, meaning you have a great many options as to how low you want your grass to be cut. The grass bags on Hayter models are particularly easy to remove; the whole mower is really designed to be as ergonomic as possible!





Both ranges of Ride On Mowers have their advantages, so check out the whole collection of lawn mowers on Alfresia today!

Garden Adventures for the Kids

Although the weather today certainly doesn't suggest it, summer is approaching. When the sun finally does get here, you'll want you and your family to spend as much time in the garden as possible and you'll want to keep your kids entertained. A great way to do this is through using toys and play areas.

On Alfresia, we've recently massively expanded our range of play areas. All these play houses are made using shiplap cladding. As we've spoken about before shiplap cladding is a far sturdier construction method than overlap cladding, which means that these play houses will last longer than and need less maintenance than those found elsewhere constructed using overlap cladding. A particular highlight of our range is the Tulip group of playhouses. This is a group of 4 playhouses which share the same design and construction methods. However, each model has different features, ranging from the basic play house to the play house tower with slide and swing. All of our playhouses comply fully with the EU saftey regulations and have been awarded the EN71 saftey rating. Equally, all windows and glass components across the entire range are fitted in the factory. Whilst these playhouse do represent something of a financial investment, they are great value for money being sturdy, safe and well made. Your child is sure to get hours of enjoyment from our playhouses and the range is wide enough to suit all needs and concerns.


Another range we've recently expanded is that of our outdoor toys.  These are pedal-powered tractors and trucks. We have products suitable for any ages between 2 and 8, which means that you're sure to find something to suit you! All of our ride on products are guaranteed for 3 years. The highlight of this range is the Premium John Deere Farm Tractor. This one is for kids between 4 and 8 and it displays an impressive range of features. A lifting bonnet, adjustable seat and a fully functioning front loader which can be removed mean that the tractor is fairly customisable, whilst a protected chaindrive, inflatable rubber tyres, an emergency stop break and 2 functioning gears make up the mechanic spec. The tractor can also be combined with a couple of trailer accessories too for added play value. Again, with these tractors and JCBs, there are options to suit any budget and all are guaranteed to be great fun your child to use!
