3 Must-Haves for Your Landscaping Business

By Blade Boss · 2 minute read

When it comes to running a successful landscaping business, efficiency and quality are everything. The right equipment can make the difference between a long, exhausting workday and a streamlined operation that keeps both you and your clients happy. If you're looking to take your business to the next level, here are three essential machines you need in your fleet: a zero turn mower, a stand-on blower, and a ride-on spreader/sprayer. Let's break down why each of these Ferris machines is a must-have and how they can boost your business.

Zero Turn Mowers: The Backbone of Your Operation

A zero turn mower is the bread and butter of any landscaping business. When you're mowing multiple properties a day, speed, precision, and comfort matter. These mowers are designed to deliver all three-plus an added edge in productivity.

Why You Need It:

Unmatched Maneuverability: Zero turn steering lets you pivot on a dime, reducing trimming time and making every pass count.
Speed and Efficiency: With faster mowing speeds than traditional mowers, you can cover more ground in less time.
Superior Comfort: Ferris zero turns come with patented suspension technology so you can stay comfortable even when riding on tough terrain.
Commercial-Grade Durability: Built to handle long hours and tough conditions, ensuring your investment pays off season after season.

Hurricane Stand-On Blower: The Ultimate Clean-Up Tool

Once the mowing is done, cleanup is key to leaving a polished, professional look. That's where the Ferris blower comes into play. Forget about wasting time and energy with handheld or backpack blowers - this powerhouse gets the job done in a fraction of the time.

Why You Need It:

Massive Air Power: With high CFM output up to 7500 and air speed up to 165 MPH, this blower moves leaves, grass clippings, and debris quickly and efficiently.
Time Saving Performance: Covers large areas in minutes, saving you time to tackle more pressing tasks in your work day.
Effortless Operation: Stand-on design provides excellent visibility and easy maneuverability, even around tight spaces.
Less Operator Fatigue: No more lugging around a heavy backpack blower- work smarter not harder!

Ride-On Spreader/Sprayer: The Key to Lawn Perfection

Mowing and cleanup are just part of the equation - lawn care businesses that are certified to offer fertilization, weed control, and overseeding services can boost revenue significantly. A ride-on spreader/sprayer makes applying treatments quick, easy, and precise.

Why You Need It:

Dual-Purpose Efficiency: Spread granular fertilizers or spray liquid treatments with one machine.
Even, Accurate Coverage: Eliminates patchy applications, ensuring consistent results that keep customers coming back to your business for services.
Increased Productivity: Covers more ground faster than a walk-behind spreader, allowing you to service more properties each day.
Reduced Labor Costs: Less manual effort means fewer operators needed for treatment applications.
