There are a variety of landscaping tools available to help your landscaping company meet the needs of your clients. But which do you choose? The fact is that you don’t need every piece of equipment to get the job done. Here’s a rundown of the types of landscaping tools on the market and how to select equipment that will help you achieve your goals.

Digging tools

Landscaping tools for digging include:

• Compact track loaders

• Skid steer loaders

• Backhoe loaders

• Excavators

• Wheel loaders

Choose your tool based on how much dirt you need to move and the size of the hole you need to dig. The bigger the machine, the deeper you’re able to dig in a shorter time frame.

Loading tools

If you need to load material to be moved to another location, you’ll want to explore these pieces of equipment:

• Backhoe loaders

• Skid steer loaders

• Wheel loaders

• Compact track loaders

Again, the size of the equipment determines how much you can lift in a load. A larger machine will allow you to get larger jobs done more quickly.

Grading tools

You can attach different sizes of blades and grading tools to your landscaping equipment to grade land. Grading blades can be used with:

• Compact track loaders

• Skid steer loaders

• Small track-type tractors

The size of the job will dictate which machine is right for your business.

Carrying equipment

Attaching buckets to your landscaping equipment can make it easier to move materials around your job site. Use lightweight machines and buckets for moving materials like soil and wood chips, and choose sturdier options for wet sand or rocks.

The following landscaping tools can handle buckets:

• Backhoes

• Small and compact wheel loaders

• Compact track loaders

• Skid steer loaders
