Creates A Great Edge…

”The BedShaper creates a great edge… it saves a lot of time, and it’s easy to control. The hydrostatic control is the best feature. When I’m installing new beds, the cutting blade is excellent. The shredding blade does great on existing beds.”

Mike B – Bridgewater Landscaping

The Best Investment We Made...

Ed Reilly’s crew replaced a contractor who edged beds at Fairway Mews in New Jersey with a crew of three. It took two weeks to complete the job on 24 acres of residential turf and 118 acres of golf course.

 

Two years ago, he chose the Bedshaper based on its reputation as a productive edger with minimal requirements for maintenance and repair. He saw the machine demonstrated and bought it. Today, one man on Ed’s crew can complete all the edging in just one week, resulting in such a significant savings that the BedShaper paid for itself in just two weeks.

“We actually can maintain our beds at the rate of two hundred feet per minute,” Ed says, “the BedShaper far outweighs the competition.” Take it from Ed, “of all the equipment we purchased, the BedShaper is the best investment we made.”

We Needed A Serious Edger...

When you edge at least 30 linear miles of predominantly curved beds per year, the equipment you use is crucial. At Willow Valley Resort & Conference Center in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Grounds Supervisor Jim Nagle knows the BedShaper is the perfect tool. A demanding grounds maintenance schedule is necessary at Willow Valley which functions as a destination resort with a nine-hole public golf course as well as a retirement community with a variety of options for living.

 

With 500 acres of gardens and landscaped areas divided into segments according to function, Willow Valley also encompasses a business park and shopping center.

 

All areas see the BedShaper on a regular basis, resulting in Willow Valley’s reputation as a showplace in the heart of the Pennsylvania Amish country.

 

Purchased to replace an inefficient edger that was also difficult to use, the BedShaper arrived just before the 2001 season. With a team of 15 full time groundskeepers and 8 seasonal workers, Jim put the BedShaper to work and immediately realized a significant savings in labor.

The self-propelled BedShaper works faster and, because it rolls the edging back in a single piece, cleanup is instant. With hydrostatic transmission, uneven terrain is no problem, and edging around trees went quickly due to the BedShaper’s capability to turn a tight radius.

The time required for edging was reduced, and, as Jim put it, “we saved about 10 hours each time we edged a segment of the property.”
