Using Your Loader for Spring Landscaping
With flowers in bloom, dead plants, and grass patches are sticking out like sore thumbs and ruining curb appeal. To make any property come to life, spring landscaping is key to making it shine. While loaders can help with major projects, here are some ideas for how they can help you complete spring landscaping projects, such as:
Yard Irrigation
Using trencher attachments, skid loaders can help dig past the dead topsoil of winter and give the soil room to breathe for spring planting. These trenchers are great for larger projects involving crop rows and seeding for the upcoming planting season, giving your veggies and fruits plenty of healthy soil to grow!
Gardening
Most DIY landscapers fail to see how helpful loaders can be for gardening. Using backhoe attachments, dig up a home garden to give enough space for your plants to flourish by removing overgrowth, dead branches, and rotting roots with ease. When it comes to creating mulch or compost piles, using the loader bucket attachment helps clean your yard while ensuring your garden receives the best fertilization to grow this spring.
Loaders are great for moving dirt and fertilizer for your garden.
Stump Removal
Much of spring landscaping time is taken up by removing dead trees and stumps from the winter. Cut this removal time down with loader hammer attachments, which can break down anything from trees to stone! Once broken, use backhoes to dig up the dead debris, saving your yard from heavy cutting and wooden shards in the process.
Tree stumps can be hazardous and hard to remove. Loaders help make the process easier.
Hole Digging
Looking to set up a stylish backyard privacy fence so family and pets can play? Planning to transplant some fresh trees or bushes onto your property? Drill precise holes for your fence posts and large greenery with the drilling of track loaders to make your yard look vibrant after the long winter.
Stonework
Typically used as a home renovation material, stone can create great outdoor designs for spring landscaping. Carrying crushed stones in the bucket attachment, loaders can transfer heavy amounts of stone to make modern-looking plant beds that don’t require irrigation or constant weeding. Besides garden beds, loaders can easily move stone to create tasteful walls, plant barriers, and walkways to help your home stand out from the entire neighborhood.
Loaders work great for transporting different types of stone for pathways.
Water Features
A great way to enhance your home’s value is to build a water feature in your backyard. Whether that’s by digging a pool, making a pond, or creating a personal waterfall, backhoes, and buckets can quickly help excavate and transfer enough dirt away to develop an aquatic paradise right in the suburbs.
Loaders can be used to clear an area for a new pond or water feature.
Project Installation
Spring landscaping is the perfect time to transform your backyard space before summer starts. With the bucket attachment, you can use loaders to transfer heavy construction materials—such as stone, metal, sand, or concrete bags—onto your property as you create a tasteful backyard patio, playground, or fire pit. Bring more fun into the outdoors this year with the addition of a household social area the whole family can enjoy!
