Companies thinking about getting landscaping done on their premises might want to consider the types of equipment that will be around their site while work is being done.

Of course, the type of machinery will depend on the size of the project and how much land you want to be transformed.

Smaller jobs, for instance, might just need sit-on lawn mowers, and regular gardening tools.

However, larger projects will require the use of construction equipment, such as diggers and loaders.

Mecalac excavators are particularly handy, as they can move soil or gravel from one area to another with help from the bucket attachment.

It is also possible to replace the attachment, so the excavator can be used for grading, clearing land, or even drilling holes.

The type of excavator required will depend on the job. Compact ones, for instance, are a good option for smaller projects, as they are easy to manoeuvre and transport.

Backhoe excavators, on the other hand, are popular as they have a loader bucket at the front and a digging bucket attached to the machinery with a flexible arm at the back.

If it is necessary to loosen up the dirt, suction excavators are a sensible choice, as it has teeth and water to break the soil up. It then uses a vacuum to suction this from the ground.

Loaders might also be needed on the landscaping project, as they can be used for a variety of tasks, including lifting, pushing, ploughing and hauling.

Simply change the attachment to alter their function, and these versatile pieces of equipment can be incredibly useful to have on site for a landscaping project.

Skid steer loaders come in a variety of weights and sizes, so businesses will be able to find the right one for the job they have in mind.
