Landscape Services

About Landscape Services

Landscape services design, develop and maintain the grounds around buildings, office parks, and commercial centers. They specialize in planting and maintaining trees and shrubs, designing and repairing irrigation systems, and seeding and mowing lawns. Landscape services use many different types of equipment. Examples include backhoes, tractors, mowers, rototillers, chainsaws, and pruners. Backhoes are excavators with an articulated arm that are usually mounted on the back of a tractor or front-end loader. Tractors are motorized vehicles that tow or pull mowers, seeders, and other attachments. Rototillers are used to turn and aerate the soil with tines that rotate on a shaft parallel to the ground. Landscape services that operate larger rototillers may use with a tractor with a creeper gear. Chainsaws are portable, motorized saws that landscaping services use to remove dead or low-hanging tree limbs. Pruners are long-handled, manually-powered saws with a curved blade at the end. They are designed to trim trees and shrubs.
