That is the vital question posed by Sally Drury as she looks at the latest kit options. Looking for a new mower? It's probably going set you back 1,000 pound and you might think it ridiculous to pay 20 pound a week to hire one. It is, after all, thesame money over two years, but you know that mower will last at least four. You'll be quids in. Or will you? On the surface the sums seem easy. But it isn't really that simple. Hiring is one of the biggest growth industries at the moment, and it is certainly growing in the grounds maintenance sector. Witness the move last year of well-known hire company HSS, into the grounds maintenance and landscaping markets. HSS GroundCare unveiled at Saltex 2001, in Windsor. provides a range of machinery for the care of sports grounds, parks, gardens, commercial premises, landscapes and golf courses. Equipment can be ordered by phone and delivered to sites anywhere in the UK.
