Meadowbrook Garden Center is a wholesale/retail nursery, located in Hanson, MA. In 1999 Meadowbrook decided that to grow their business they needed to offer more services. A mulch installation service seemed like a good fit. They decided that to do this and be competitive, as well as timely, during the short "mulch season", the Finn Bark Blower was the only solution.

The first Bark Blower that Meadowbrook purchased was the model 816. The 816 allowed Charlie (owner) to grow his business tremendously in a very short time. By 2003 Charlie was so overwhelmed with business he decided to consider the purchase of a new piece of equipment, the Finn model 1222.

Since the purchase of the Finn model 1222, Charlie has added three more Finn truck mounted Bark Blowers and two trailer mounted blowers. During a recent conversation with Charlie he states, "By owning 1200 series Bark Blowers we have had the capability to blow playground surface materials, compost and seed as well as fill compost socks for erosion control and water filtration, in addition to keeping up with our mulch accounts."

When we asked Charlie for an overall feeling of Finn equipment his response was "I feel it’s a quality product at a fair price when you look at the time and material it has saved us, and our customers."

KR Longtin is a full service landscape company located in the western part of Massachusetts. In 2004 Kyle (owner) decided that he was tired of the wheel barrows. He was tired of the sore back. He was tired of all the intensive labor it took every spring to apply bark mulch. He decided it was time for a Finn Bark Blower. In a recent conversation with Kyle we were able to capture some of Kyle’s thoughts;

"Owning a Finn Bark Blower has allowed us to expand the services that we offer to our existing customers and compete with other companies who also own Bark Blowers. The Finn model BB200 has been a great starter machine for us. I would never sell it if and when I purchase a larger machine. I have depended on this machine and it hasn’t let me down yet."

Mandrona Brothers Landscaping are a full service landscaping contractor. They offer an array of services which include hydroseeding and bark mulch installation. Marcel and Vincent (owners) realized a potential for acquiring more mulch installation work if they could only work faster. With a large workforce already in place they decided that maybe a Finn Bark Blower could help them grow their business. In a recent conversation with Marcel and Vincent they said,
"Since we’ve owned the Bark Blower we work much faster, not to mention we use much less material. The bark blower has been a great machine. Its ease of operation and the quality of the completed work has eliminated the need for an experienced rake operator"

When asked about their Finn Hydroseeder they said, "The Finn Hydroseeder has allowed us to expand our services. Hydroseeding offers better results vs. conventional seeding for our customers which means less call backs. We have also learned that hydroseeding is much better than sod due to sods lack of drought tolerance."

"At the season end I send my equipment to Hydrograss Corporation for service. I have been doing this for the past 7 years, every year, to ensure productivity and life of the equipment."

"I am always confident in knowing that Hydrograss Corporation services my Finn equipment. It gives me great relief to know that my equipment will operate smoothly during the time I need it most. There was one year I didn’t send my equipment to Hydrograss for service and it cost me more in down time during my busy season than it would’ve to have had Hydrograss service it. I will never again miss another year. The spring season is short and my equipment has to run; Hydrograss, together with equipment durability, has helped me be successful during this time."
