Smart Irrigation Systems
Smart irrigation systems enable people to manage their sprinkler systems right from their smart phones. These Wi-Fi-enabled irrigation controllers utilize local weather forecasts to ensure your lawn gets the necessary watering.
They adjust watering schedules based on hot and dry conditions versus rainy or cool climates. This stops you from unnecessarily watering your lawn during rainfall, thereby conserving water. For additional details on Smart Irrigation and Wi-Fi controllers, refer to our blog.
High-Tech Robot Mowers
A variety of robotic lawn mowers are now on the market. Essentially, they’re like Roombas for your yard. You can set them up from your mobile device to trim your grass at any hour, day, or night.
Residential Robot Mowers
The Husqvarna Automower is a prime selection for property owners. It operates extremely silently, allowing it to function throughout the night without causing any disturbance to your neighbors.
The Automower remains within the confines of your garden, which the location of the boundary wire defines. You can arrange this wire around flower beds, trees, garden furniture, and water elements. If the mower collides with any object or person, the blades retract, and the device immediately halts.
It comes with a charging station that you install in your yard. The mower can be scheduled to go back to the station when it needs to be charged or whenever your kids or pets are outside. The Automower generates small, even grass clippings that fall back to the root of your lawn, forming a kind of micro-mulch that offers organic fertilization.
Commercial Robot Autonomous Mowers
For larger properties and commercial spaces, we utilize the new game-changing Scythe M.52 robotic autonomous mowers. These emission free electric mowers use advanced AI and GPS technology to navigate and mow large areas efficiently. Sustainable, quiet, and designed to handle heavy-duty work that would typically require multiple traditional mowers. The Scythe M.52, 360-degree sensors, adapts to different landscapes, obstacles, and patterns, ensuring a precise and thorough cut.
Integrating these automated mowers into your grass maintenance schedule not only conserves time but also guarantees a neatly kept lawn with little effort. Regardless of whether you own a compact garden or a vast commercial land, there’s an automated mower designed to cater to your requirements.

Solar Powered Weeding Robot
The Tertill is a solar powered weeding robot for your garden. This compact gadget is resistant to weather, self-charging, and handles all your weed removal needs. It uses an array of sensors and a tiny rotating string cutter to slice the weed close to the soil.
You’ll want to put plant collars around your smaller plants because the weeder uses a height-based approach. When the robot approaches the collar, it will recognize it and turn away. To prevent the Tertill from straying, your garden requires a small barrier. This could be a fence, an edging that’s no less than two inches high, or the wooden boundary of an elevated bed.
Motion Activated Animal Deterrent
The Orbit Yard Enforcer is a motion-activated animal deterrent system to keep any hungry visitors from eating up your garden. The device is composed of a sprinkler nozzle positioned over a motion sensor that is staked into the ground.
4-AA batteries power the motion detector. A connection point is situated at the base for attaching your garden hose, or two. When the motion sensor is triggered, the sprinkler discharges a swift burst of water to scare away any animals that might be lurking near your plants. The strong burst of water will not harm wildlife, but is effective in sending deer, rabbits squirrels, birds, and more running!
