| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses landscape equipment, stating that "with the right tools, landscape contractors and grounds care professionals can expand their business volume by offering extra services to both residential and commercial customers." States that "manufacturers are answering the demand for specialized equipment with upgraded and refined designs of walk-behind implements, as well as attachments that expand the capabilities of existing equipment." Discusses potential advantages of having multiple attachments and specialized implements but states that there are also "times when it pays to have a piece of equipment that is dedicated to doing one job." Discusses equipment rental and the associated costs. Concludes that "the most important thing to remember is weighing [one's] decision against the services [one is] willing or able to offer." |
