Autumn is the busiest time of year for many UK gardens. Leaves pile up on lawns and paths, thatch builds up after a long summer, overhanging branches need cutting back and patios turn green and slippery. Doing it all by hand takes whole weekends. The right tools can turn it into a couple of hours.
Hyundai Power Equipment, the UK garden machinery brand run by Genpower in Pembrokeshire, sells a wide range of petrol, electric and cordless tools. Here are five that suit an autumn clean-up, with what each one does and what it costs. You can browse the Hyundai range here while you read.
1. Hyundai 3-in-1 Electric Leaf Blower and Vacuum
The HYBV3000E3 tackles the most obvious autumn job. It is a 3000W corded machine that blows leaves into piles at up to 75 metres per second, vacuums them into a 34-litre collection bag, and mulches them down to around 10 percent of their original volume. That last part matters, because shredded leaves take up far less space in the garden waste bin and break down faster in a compost heap.
At about 3kg it is light enough for a full session, and a shoulder harness is included to take some of the weight. It is currently listed at 37.99 pounds, which makes it one of the cheapest ways to speed up leaf clearing. See the 3-in-1 leaf blower.
2. Hyundai 40V Cordless Scarifier and Aerator
Early autumn is the classic time to scarify a lawn, once the summer heat has passed and before the ground gets too cold. The HY40CSC38 is a cordless 2-in-1 that runs on two 20V batteries. It has a scarifier blade with rigid steel tines to pull out thatch, and a raker blade with spring tines to aerate compacted soil, both across a 38cm working width.
Five height settings, from minus 12mm to plus 6mm, let you start gently and work deeper. A 45-litre bag catches the moss and thatch as you go, and the polypropylene deck will not rust. It is listed at 241 pounds. Hyundai’s own guides on reviving a lawn after a dry summer and overseeding patchy grass are worth reading before you start. Check the cordless scarifier.
3. Hyundai 20V 6-Inch Mini Chainsaw
Not every cutting job needs a full-size chainsaw. For lower branches, overgrown shrubs and small logs, the HY20CCS150 is a much easier tool to handle. It is a brushless 20V cordless saw with a 6-inch bar, weighing around 1.4kg, so it can be used one-handed on accessible branches.
Automatic chain oiling from a 50ml tank means you do not have to stop and oil the chain by hand, and there is no fuel to mix or cable to drag around a tree. It comes with a chain, a 2Ah battery and a charger for 85 pounds. Always wear gloves and eye protection, and keep both feet firmly on the ground. See the mini chainsaw kit.
4. Hyundai 2000W Electric Pressure Washer
Patios, decking and paths often turn green and slippery as the weather gets wetter. The HYW2000E pressure washer has a 2000W motor that delivers up to 150 bar of pressure and a flow rate of 7.5 litres per minute. It weighs about 9.3kg and has built-in storage hooks and a hose reel to keep everything tidy.
It is also useful for garden furniture before it goes into storage, bins, bikes and the car. It is currently listed at 104.99 pounds with hose and attachments. View the pressure washer.
5. Hyundai Electric Artificial Grass Sweeper
If you have an artificial lawn, leaves and debris get trapped in the fibres and flatten them over time. The HYSW1500E is a 1500W electric sweeper with a 32cm brush spinning at 3,000 rpm. It lifts debris and brushes the fibres back up, with four height settings from minus 4mm to plus 8mm. It is listed at 104.99 pounds.
It is a niche tool, but for anyone who has paid for artificial grass it is a much easier way to keep it looking new than raking by hand, especially through autumn and winter when leaves fall almost every day.
A Simple Autumn Plan
- Week one: clear leaves from the lawn, paths and beds with the blower vac.
- Week two: scarify and aerate the lawn, then overseed any bare patches.
- Week three: cut back overhanging branches and shrubs.
- Week four: pressure wash the patio and clean garden furniture before storage.
Spreading the jobs out like this keeps each session short and leaves the garden in good shape for winter.
Delivery, Warranty and Batteries
Hyundai offers free UK delivery on most items, with next working day delivery when you order by 2:30pm. Most products come with a 3-year Hyundai warranty, and the brand says it is rated excellent with close to 20,000 reviews.
The 20V cordless tools share the same battery platform, so once you own one battery and charger, adding a second tool is cheaper. Hyundai also sells combo kits that pair, for example, a lawnmower with a grass trimmer or a chainsaw with a hedge trimmer. See Hyundai combo kits.
Conclusion
An autumn clean-up does not need to eat up every weekend. A leaf blower vac clears the bulk of the work, a scarifier sets the lawn up for spring, a mini chainsaw deals with branches, and a pressure washer brings patios back to life. Hyundai covers all of these at sensible prices, with free delivery on most items and a 3-year warranty. When you are ready, shop Hyundai Power Equipment.
