ProGarden: pro Kress users
Landscape Contractor Magazine
|January - February 2025
Based on Sydney's northern beaches, ProGarden made the commitment to battery power nearly a decade ago. The change to Kress equipment has been a big and positive one.
-

The beaches in Sydney's north are a far cry from the urban inner city, and property owners in the area tend to be proud of the location and the homes within it.
Accepting responsibility for the care of gardens and grounds in the area is no small undertaking.
Lachlan Maple, founder and owner of ProGarden, seems entirely comfortable with maintaining some of the most well-groomed residences and properties in the state.
Lachlan has formal qualifications in horticulture and completed his Certificate 3 in Landscape Construction. He won the most Outstanding Student Award from TAFE NSW and most Outstanding Achievement Award from Landscape NSW and ACT.
He's a happy sort of bloke to speak to, has a great deal of experience in both his profession and with battery-powered OPE especially, and the change to 100% Kress equipment for his company meant a substantial financial commitment.
As far as Lachlan is concerned, the advantages of using Kress equipment have well and truly justified the investment.
