Green by Nature and RC Mowers

In an Australian first, an Autonomous Mowing Robot is doing service with a contractor, and by all accounts, it's a raging success.

Green by Nature is a big outfit handling a huge range of landscaping and horticulture works and maintenance contracts. As the company's website points out, Green by Nature is ‘...Australasia's most award-winning landscape-services’ business, with experience spanning education, government, commercial, residential, stadiums, sports and events.’

One of Green by Nature's responsibilities is the care and maintenance of 305 hectares of carefully maintained grounds at Essendon Fields in Victoria, and it’s a big commitment.

The work is overseen by Contract Manager Adam Strathairn, and it'd be hard to imagine chatting to a happier bloke.

Aussie first

“Green by Nature is probably one of the largest landscape and construction businesses across Australia and New Zealand," he told Landscape Contractor magazine. "I look after Essendon Fields with about 12 staff on the ground. It's a mix of what we call ‘fine turf’, which is cylinder mowing, right through to zero turns and some paddock slashing and so forth.”

After eight years with Green by Nature Adam was now overseeing the dawn of a new era for both the company and property maintenance in Australia as he put a new Autonomous Mowing Robot (AMR) to work.
