Equipment To Increase Landscaping/Hardscaping Productivity

Published on July 7, 2017

It’s summer and that means outdoor living for most people. Pool parties, barbeques, and generally enjoying the sunshine… until they realize their backyard isn’t as nice as the Jones’ next door. Suddenly, they are calling their local landscaping company to see what it would cost to install a new patio, finally get a pool, add an outdoor kitchen, or a plethora of other hardscaping projects.

The possibilities might be endless, but every landscape/hardscape customer will need site prep work. Whether it’s digging a new pool or leveling and compacting soil for a beautifully designed paver patio, you’ll need affordable landscaping/hardscaping equipment that will get the job done right the first time. Check out these 38 different landscaping/hardscaping equipment solutions that will streamline your jobs and increase your productivity.

Cat Mini Excavators

300.9, 302.7, 303.5, 305.5 (most popular for pool digging), 308 (for larger landscaping)
Ideal for digging ponds and pools, Cashman has mini excavators that are strong enough to get the job done, but small enough to go through side gates into the backyard (36” widths). Once it’s in the backyard, the Cat Mini Excavator’s tracks expand to provide additional stability regardless of terrain. A Cat Mini Ex also frees up your crew – rather than three employees digging a hole, they can be installing pavers or planting trees.
