In case you wonder what our go-to seed is! It truly matters what seed you install.

Absolute unit of a machine. 💪

DITCH WITCH SK3000

One of the only stand-on “mini” skid steers capable of lifting 4,000+ lbs. Low, powerful, easy to hop on and off, and a completely different machine compared to a full-size skid steer.

We don’t put nearly as many hours on it as our SK800s, but when we need it, we REALLY need it. Owning it also saves us from repeatedly paying $300+ per day in rental costs.

We use it primarily for moving pallets of pavers and retaining wall block, as well as handling serious amounts of material. Recently, it helped us move around 180 yards of soil for a new construction lawn. 😳

We have a 1-yard bucket for bulk material and a lower-profile grading bucket for spreading and smoothing.

It may not get used every day, but when we need some serious lifting power, this thing is an absolute beast. 🔥

Another piece of equipment that helps us work more efficiently, keep overhead down, and provide better value to our customers.

Absolute unit of a machine. 💪

DITCH WITCH SK3000

This is the only stand-on “mini” skid steer on the market capable of lifting 4,000+ lbs.

There’s even a video online of one lifting a Ford F-150 completely off the ground with forks! 😲

It’s low, has an incredibly low center of gravity compared to a full-size skid steer, and the ability to easily hop on and off makes it a completely different machine to operate.

For the type of work we do, this machine is a necessity.

We don’t put nearly as many hours on it as we do our smaller Ditch Witch SK800s, but when we need it, we REALLY need it. And renting a machine like this every time would add up very quickly.

Take a typical paver patio, for example. You may need a full-size skid steer on multiple different days throughout the project. That means hauling it back to the shop, cleaning it, fueling it, dropping it back off, and then doing the whole process again a couple days later. You can easily be looking at $300+ per day in rental costs.

Sidebar: If a company is renting most or all of its equipment, that’s something worth asking about. 🚩

It doesn’t necessarily mean they’re a bad company—it may simply mean they don’t do enough of that type of work to justify owning the equipment.

For us, owning our heavy equipment outright means we don’t have to tack a $1,200+ equipment rental bill onto a typical paver patio. That’s a pretty significant difference in overhead.

It’s honestly not a bad question to ask when getting an estimate:
“Do you own your equipment, or are you renting it for this project?”

I think you can learn quite a bit from the answer.

One of the biggest things we use the SK3000 for is moving pallets of pavers and retaining wall block as close to our work area as possible. We’re constantly repositioning pallets throughout a project, so we aren’t wasting time walking back and forth. It makes handling the material easier and keeps the entire job moving efficiently.

It also comes in handy when we need to move serious quantities of material.

Recently, we used it to move around 180 yards of soil for a new construction lawn.

We have a specialized 1-yard bucket for moving bulk material, along with a smaller, lower-profile grading bucket for spreading and smoothing everything out.

It may not be the machine we use every day, but when you need to move some serious weight, this thing is an absolute beast. 🔥

Another piece of equipment that helps us do things more efficiently, keep overhead down, and ultimately provide better value to our clients.

You can get pretty creative with landscape lighting! 💡

These lights are specifically designed to go on pillar caps, but with a little creativity, they can be used in all kinds of different ways.

Think outside the box and you can create some really cool lighting features!
Work in progress! Not sure if 3 on either side, or every other gap. What do y'all think?
