The low vibrations and light weight also make the power tools particularly ergonomic, which ensures fatigue-free work even during long periods of use.

The gardens of Euridge Manor: Variety for all the senses
Euridge Manor spans around five hectares, bringing together a multitude of special plants and garden areas. From a large pond to a precisely designed roof garden with boxwood hedges on just a few centimetres of soil, fragrant roses and majestic yew trees to a vegetable garden and orchard – each area presents head gardener Andrew Wain and his team with unique challenges and requires professional care at the highest level.

Untouched garden areas support biodiversity
Promoting biodiversity
In addition, areas with plants left to grow wild were created to promote biodiversity. These untouched zones create valuable habitats for insects and birds and promote the garden’s biodiversity.
The deliberate integration of wild areas into a well-maintained garden structure requires special expertise. This makes this amazing garden not only aesthetically pleasing, but also ecologically sustainable.

Ergonomic STIHL battery power tools simplify the maintenance of topiaries
Topiaries as design elements
The topiaries at Euridge Manor take their inspiration from the architectural features of the property and place high demands on the precision and craftsmanship of the professionals. The monumental topiaries are structural elements and match the size of the buildings.

Topiaries require a lot of skill and precision when cutting
Playful details and a vibrant atmosphere
A hallmark of Euridge Manor is the lovingly designed detail that gives the garden a vibrant, dynamic atmosphere. Artfully cut hedges hide smiling faces that have been cut into boxwood topiary balls. These little surprises, which Wain regularly re-integrates, ensure that returning visitors always have something new to discover.
The mix of structured design and creative accents makes Euridge Manor an inspiring example of professional creative landscaping.
