Note on the battery system
On this page you can see tools and batteries from the AP system. With the launch of ALLPRO, we now have a new battery system that delivers next level power. With quick charging times and a longer working life, it is also 100% compatible with the previous AP system.
Andrew Wain has been head gardener at Euridge Manor in Chippenham, England for over 13 years. Under his management, the garden has matured into a special place where nature and architecture combine beautifully. Originally a smaller project, the close collaboration between the owners and Andrew resulted in a growing garden landscape, which has continued to unfold over more than a decade.
"At Euridge Manor, we are constantly working on developing the garden. With modern technology and creative ideas, my team and I keep every area in line with the overall design."

The switch to STIHL battery power tools has made a big difference for the Euridge Manor team. The tools offer decisive battery-powered advantages that are ideal for maintaining an amazing garden like Euridge Manor.
Among other things, the team uses:
As Euridge Manor is used as a wedding venue, the low-noise battery power tools are essential, and allow Wain and his team to work early in the morning and late in the evening without disturbing the peace of the owners or wedding guests. The quiet power tools can be used flexibly and efficiently, as there are no noisy motors and no emissions during use. The low vibrations and light weight also make the power tools particularly ergonomic, so they are comfortable to use even over long periods.
"The battery power tools are incredibly quiet, which is perfect when we work early in the morning or have guests in the house. They are light, easy to use and ideal for safely onboarding new team members."

The STIHL HSA 130 battery hedge trimmer is used for precision shaping of hedges and topiaries. whilst the STIHL BGA 86 battery blower is used to quickly and quietly remove fallen leaves and other dirt from pathways. The STIHL FSA 400 battery clearing saw is ideal for demanding work on slopes and in hard-to-reach places. Its ergonomic handling and powerful performance enable first-class results even on uneven terrain.
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
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
The topiaries at Euridge Manor take their inspiration from the architectural features of the property and require absolute precision from the team. The monumental topiaries are structural elements and match the size of the buildings.
Topiaries require a lot of skill and precision when cutting
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 are regularly updated so that returning visitors always have something new to discover.
The mix of structured design and artistic accents makes Euridge Manor an inspiring example of professional creative landscaping.
