Garden Blowers

About Garden Blowers

Garden blowers are essential power tools designed to clear leaves, grass clippings, and debris from gardens, driveways, patios, and pathways. Available in corded 240v electric, cordless battery-powered, and petrol variants, these tools offer efficient alternatives to traditional raking and sweeping. Many models at MyToolShed.co.uk also function as garden vacuums with mulching capabilities, collecting and shredding debris for easy disposal or composting.

Our range includes handheld axial blowers for quick clearing tasks, backpack models for extended use, and versatile blower-vac combinations from trusted brands including Makita, DeWalt, Bosch Professional, Einhell, and Greenworks. Whether you need a lightweight cordless model for domestic gardens or a powerful brushless professional tool for landscaping work, MyToolShed stocks garden blowers suited to every requirement and budget.

Applications

• Landscapers and groundskeepers – clearing leaves and debris from large properties, parks, and commercial sites
• Professional gardeners – maintaining client gardens and outdoor spaces efficiently
• Estate managers and facilities maintenance – keeping grounds tidy throughout autumn and year-round
• Local authorities and councils – maintaining public spaces, pavements, and car parks
• DIY enthusiasts and homeowners – seasonal garden clearance and pathway maintenance
• Workshop and warehouse use – clearing dust and debris from work areas

Choosing The Right Garden Blowers

Power Source: Cordless 18v and 54v models offer portability and convenience without cables, ideal for larger gardens. Corded 240v electric blowers provide consistent power for domestic use near power outlets. Consider battery compatibility if you already own tools from brands like DeWalt XR FlexVolt or Bosch Professional.

Blower Type: Axial blowers deliver focused, powerful airflow for heavy-duty clearing. Standard blowers suit general garden maintenance. Blower-vac combinations with mulching functions offer versatility, collecting debris whilst reducing volume for easier disposal.

Air Speed and Volume: Higher air speeds (measured in mph or m/s) shift wet leaves and stubborn debris more effectively. Air volume (m³/h or CFM) determines coverage area. Professional brushless models typically offer superior performance for demanding applications.

Weight and Ergonomics: Lightweight handheld models suit quick tasks and smaller gardens. Backpack designs distribute weight for comfortable extended use on larger properties. Consider variable speed controls for precise operation around delicate plants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are cordless garden blowers powerful enough for professional use?

Modern cordless garden blowers, particularly 54v FlexVolt and 36v brushless models available at MyToolShed.co.uk, deliver comparable performance to corded alternatives. Professional-grade tools from DeWalt, Makita, and Bosch Professional offer sufficient power for landscaping work, with the advantage of unrestricted mobility.

Can I use a garden blower for clearing workshop debris?

Yes, many garden blowers are excellent for workshop and garage use, clearing sawdust, shavings, and general debris. Some models are specifically marketed for dual garden and workshop applications, offering a cost-effective solution for tradespeople needing both capabilities.

What's the difference between axial and standard garden blowers?

Axial blowers feature a tube design that concentrates airflow into a powerful, focused stream, making them more effective for heavy-duty clearing and wet leaves. Standard blowers provide broader airflow suitable for general garden maintenance and lighter debris.
