    If you had to choose one machine for a landscaping business, what would it be?

    ok thank you, so do you think that the whole garden/grounds revamp thing is a good idea? As far as I know, and I do know a fair few people and have done some research in my area, there isn't anyone who offers this exact service. What sort of tools and equipment would you be looking at for a...

    If you had to choose one machine for a landscaping business, what would it be?

    Would you guys recommend this whole garden revamp idea? So in most cases this would include some kind of grounds construction, in order to shape and level the land, then groundcare, turfing etc. Also, constructing patio and decking, fencing and installing ponds and water features. I am also keen...

    If you had to choose one machine for a landscaping business, what would it be?

    Thanks guys, you lot are totally right and it's just highlighted my naivety, but I suppose that would be expected and that's one of the reasons I decided to use this forum, to gain an insight from people with more more experience and knowledge than me. In terms of available work and...

    If you had to choose one machine for a landscaping business, what would it be?

    I think most of you guys are spot on with the hiring thing to be honest. In fact, the guys I used to work with a pretty old now, and aren't exactly busy most of the time, I'm good friends with them so I'm sure they wouldn't mind me using the small Kubota digger for a small fee. I also know...

    If you had to choose one machine for a landscaping business, what would it be?

    I suppose a Kubota with a backhoe could work well, any idea how much they go for? How much would one weigh? I'm looking to probably tow with a Land Rover Defender to start with.

    If you had to choose one machine for a landscaping business, what would it be?

    Yeah I had kinda guessed I might need to hire for the first few years, but I was sort of looking for what I should be aiming for. I'll probably get a decent mower for the start, but there isn't a great deal of money in lawns where I am. In the autumn and winter the grass doesn't grow too much...

    If you had to choose one machine for a landscaping business, what would it be?

    Hi there, thought I would join this forum just to get some opinions and ideas from people with some experience. I will be leaving school soon, and I'm looking to potentially start a landscaping business in the next couple of years. I used to work doing some basic soft landscaping, as well as...
