Landscapers do a lot of digging, moving heavy items around, and excavating. This usually means they need to have machines to make the whole process simpler. Plant hires provide the necessary machines for only the times the landscaper needs them and ensures they have access to all the machines they need.
What plant hires are most used? Here are some of the most common.
Skid Steer Loaders
These little machines are helpful for moving gravel and mulch around the garden and can also dig trenches and holes. While they may be small, they’re ideal for small gardens. The landscaper can zip around and manage all the necessary tasks that would take hours if done by hand.
If you are looking for a machine that can do a lot, even though it’s quite small, then a skid steer loader is a good option. It will let you build the main features of the landscaping project and move heavy items around easily. As an all-purpose machine, it’s quite useful.
Excavators
Excavators come in a range of sizes and are best used to dig trenches and holes. They are commonly used to create water features and pools but are also helpful for planting trees and preparing foundations for hard landscaping.
Mini excavators work well for digging in small spaces, but if you’re working on a larger project, such as rebuilding the landscape, you will want to have a much larger machine.
Bulldozers
At first glance, bulldozers may seem much larger than needed, but for large spaces and drastic changes, they’re perfect. These pieces of equipment are usually best for clearing large tracts of land and grading the soil to ensure it is level or has hills as desired. Bulldozers use twin tracks to reduce the impact of the machine on soft terrain since the weight is spread out.
Backhoe Loaders
For a big job where you need to move huge items around or if you need to carry large amounts of materials, this is the machine you want. They can work hard packed soil, as well and are rather versatile. However, they are designed to work in larger areas and for high volumes of materials. For example, if you need to carry a tonne of sand or soil to a new location, you’ll want a backhoe loader.
There are many machines available for plant hire, but you’ll want to ensure you have the best one for the task at hand. The more versatile the machine, the easier it will be to work with since you can tackle a variety of projects with just one plant hire.
