With the hot summer weather we have been enjoying across Cornwall, many of us are spending more time outdoors than ever. Whether it is relaxing in the garden, entertaining family and friends, or finally tackling those outdoor projects that have been waiting for the right weather, now is the perfect time to make the most of your outside space.
At J Keane Plant Hire, we understand how important a well-kept garden is during the summer months. As a family-run business with more than 10 years of experience, we have helped homeowners, landscapers and businesses across Cornwall complete outdoor projects with reliable, professional machinery.

Transform Your Outdoor Space this Summer
Longer evenings and warmer days naturally encourage us to spend more time outside. From tidying lawns and maintaining hedges to creating new planting areas or clearing overgrown sections of your garden, summer is often the busiest season for outdoor improvements.
However, keeping your garden looking its best can require more than just traditional hand tools. Professional garden machinery can help save time, reduce effort and give you a much better finish.
That is where hiring can be a smart solution.
Rather than investing in expensive equipment that may only be used a few times a year, hiring gives you access to high-quality machinery exactly when you need it, without the costs and responsibilities that come with ownership.

Why hire garden machinery instead of buying?
Many homeowners find that owning larger garden equipment comes with hidden challenges. Storage space, servicing, maintenance and keeping machinery ready for use can all become frustrating, especially if equipment sits unused for much of the year.
With J Keane Plant Hire, you can simply hire the right machine for your project, complete the work and return it when you are finished.
The benefits include:
- Access to professional-quality equipment that delivers better results than many domestic alternatives
- No need to worry about servicing, repairs or long-term maintenance
- More space in your garage, shed or workshop
- A cost-effective way to use specialist machinery without a large upfront investment
Our team keeps equipment well maintained and ready to work, so you can focus on getting your garden project completed.

Garden Machinery Available for Hire in Cornwall
Whether you have a small garden in Truro or a larger rural property in Falmouth we have equipment to suit a wide range of outdoor jobs.
Our garden machinery hire range includes:
Ride-on lawn mowers
Perfect for larger lawns, fields and commercial spaces, ride-on mowers make cutting large areas quicker and easier. They are ideal for achieving a neat, professional finish while reducing the time spent on routine lawn maintenance.
Push lawn mowers
For smaller gardens and tighter spaces, push lawn mowers provide a practical and reliable option. Easy to manoeuvre and straightforward to use, they are perfect for keeping residential lawns looking their best throughout the summer.
Strimmers and brush cutters
Warm weather can quickly encourage grass, weeds and vegetation to grow. Our strimmers and brush cutters are ideal for keeping borders tidy, clearing overgrown areas and creating clean edges around paths, patios and lawns.
Hedge trimmers and tree pruners
Summer is a great time to maintain hedges and trees. Our specialist equipment helps make trimming, shaping and managing outdoor areas much easier.
Rotavators and landscaping equipment
If you are preparing new flower beds, vegetable gardens or landscaping areas, a rotavator can help break up soil and prepare the ground efficiently.
Leaf blowers and additional garden tools
From clearing pathways to completing final tidy-up work, our range of equipment helps you achieve a finished look across your outdoor space.

Creating the Perfect Summer Garden
For some homeowners, summer is about more than just maintenance. It is about creating an outdoor area that can be enjoyed for years to come.
We regularly support larger garden transformations and groundworks projects across Cornwall. From preparing land and clearing spaces to supporting landscaping work, having the correct machinery can make a huge difference.
If the recent spell of hot weather has inspired you to think beyond everyday garden maintenance and consider a bigger outdoor investment, having the right team and machinery in place is essential. Whether you are creating a new entertaining area, reshaping your garden or planning something more ambitious such as a swimming pool project, professional groundworks can provide the foundations for a successful transformation.
