Match each stage of the landscape job to the right machine

Plan access, excavation, hauling and finishing as separate stages. The equipment that fits through a side gate still needs enough room to turn, work and unload inside the site.

01 · Typical jobs

Match equipment to the task

Excavate beds and drainage

Choose an excavator for work that needs a defined cut below grade. Compare the bucket width, usable reach and working clearance.

Move soil, mulch and stone

Use a loader where material needs scooping or spreading. For longer runs, compare a dumper by payload, overall width and discharge clearance.

Shape and finish surfaces

Compare a grading bucket or compatible loader attachment by the work width and finish required. Plan travel paths around completed areas.

Clear growth before preparation

Identify the vegetation before selecting a mower or cutter. Note stones, edging, stumps and other obstacles that may affect the job.

02 · Site checklist

What to confirm before choosing

  1. Walk the route from delivery to the work area and measure the narrowest point, turns and overhead clearance.
  2. List material quantities and where each material will be delivered, staged and removed.
  3. Check machine and attachment dimensions in both transport and working positions.
  4. Identify surfaces and features to protect, and plan the work sequence before bringing equipment onto the site.

LandMach · Project example

Example project: a planting bed with a gravel path

Mark the excavation and finished grade, then decide where to stage gravel, topsoil and mulch. Separating digging, hauling and spreading makes it easier to choose the right machine for each pass.

Open the bed

Use the required cut and working reach to compare excavators.

Move and spread

Compare the fitted bucket width and material weight for each trip from the staging area.

Models to compare

QS-06 Mini Excavator

Compare for planting holes, shallow drainage and small cuts. Check both the access route and digging geometry.

Frequently asked questions

Should I use an excavator or a skid steer for grading?

An excavator can reach and shape local cuts or ditches. A loader can help spread loose material across a broader area. Choose based on the grade, reach and working room.

Does machine width tell me whether it fits?

Check the widest point with the attachment fitted and allow for turns, operating clearance and manufacturer requirements.

When does a separate dumper help?

Consider one when moving material ties up the digging or loading machine, especially if the staging point is some distance away.
