In the dynamic world of landscaping, efficiency is key. Having the right tools and equipment can make all the difference with the ease of completing projects. Many property owners decide to tackle projects during months with cooler temperatures with
a goal of completing the project in time for the holidays. While compact construction equipment (CCE) offers numerous advantages, sometimes obtaining specialized machines might not be feasible due to budget constraints or equipment availability.
However, there is a smart and practical solution – investing in CCE attachments. Check out these attachments to optimize fall and winter landscaping tasks.
Preparing the Property for Plants
During cooler temperatures, many property owners want to invest in their landscaping by planting cool-season grasses or prepping the soil for next year’s garden. Here are useful attachments that will expand a compact machine’s capabilities.
- Soil conditioners help prepare the ground for seeding and sodding.
- Rotary cutters or mowers cut tall grass and weeds in large areas.
- Tillers break up and mix soil for planting beds.
Changing the Property’s Topography
When property owners decide it’s time to address a hill or dip, moving dirt is just one option. Some owners might choose land removal and others may want to add to their landscaping by building a rock feature. Whichever they choose, these attachments
can precisely complete the job.
- Landscape blades or rakes smooth and level soil and grading surfaces.
- Grapple buckets easily grab, lift and move brush, logs and other bulky materials.
- Skid steer loader buckets are perhaps the most frequently used attachment. This is a must-have to move various amounts of dirt and rock.
Tending to Tree Growth
After a particularly hot summer, property owners may be interested in creating shade in just the right place to prepare for the next summer. CCE attachments allow landscapers to easily plant trees or address unruly branches. Besides grapple buckets
and loaders, you may want to consider adding these attachments to your fleet.
- Auger attachments drill holes for fence posts and planting trees and other plants for commercial and residential work. Operators say this attachment on mini excavators improves productivity and reduces the time it takes to dig holes for vegetation
of all sizes.
- Stump shredder attachments are used to make tree stumps disappear.
