The grass is growing, the leaves are falling onto fresh-cut lawns, and the calls are coming in faster than you can answer them. Whether you run a full-service landscaping crew, maintain commercial properties, or take pride in keeping your own yard looking sharp, the difference between a long, frustrating day and a productive one usually comes down to the gear in your trailer. This month, we’re putting landscaping front and center — spotlighting the tools the pros are reaching for, the deals worth jumping on, and the new arrivals that are shaking up the outdoor power category.
Featured Tools for the Landscaping Pro
These seven tools cover the core of any landscaping operation — trimming, mowing, blowing, spreading, cutting, and pruning. Every one of them earns its spot on the truck.
DEWALT 60V MAX 17" Brushless Attachment-Capable
String Trimmer Kit (DCST972X1)
A workhorse trimmer with the runtime to match a full morning of edging and ditch work. The 17-inch cutting swath knocks down jobs fast, and the attachment-capable shaft means one tool can pull double duty as an edger, pole saw, or hedge trimmer with the right add-ons. Brushless motor, variable trigger, and FLEXVOLT power — this is the trimmer you grab when you don’t want to think about whether the battery will last.
Milwaukee M18 FUEL String Trimmer with QUIK-LOK Kit
(3016-21ST)
If you’re already deep in the M18 ecosystem, this trimmer is a natural fit. The QUIK-LOK system makes attachment swaps fast enough that you’ll actually use them on the job site, and the FUEL motor delivers the kind of torque that handles thick, wet grass without bogging down. Built for the crews that need gas-equivalent power without the gas-equivalent headaches.
STIHL RMA 510 21" Battery-Powered Push Lawn Mower
(Bare Tool)
STIHL’s commercial-grade battery mower with a 21-inch deck and the build quality you’d expect from the name on the side. Quiet enough for early-morning starts in HOA neighborhoods, powerful enough to keep up with a full route. Bare tool, so you can pair it with the AP batteries you’re already running.
EGO Commercial 1000 CFM Leaf Blower (Bare Tool, LBX1000)
1,000 CFM is serious airflow — enough to clear sidewalks, drives, and equipment pads in a fraction of the time. EGO’s commercial line is built for crews running these tools all day, every day, and the LBX1000 lives up to that promise. If you’ve been waiting for a battery blower that can actually replace your backpack gas unit, this is the one.
ECHO 60 lb. Heavy-Duty Turf Broadcast Spreader (RB-60)
Fertilization, seed, ice melt — a quality broadcast spreader pays for itself within a season. The RB-60 holds 60 pounds, rolls smooth on pneumatic tires, and is built tough enough to survive being thrown in and out of trailers all day. A simple tool, done right.
Milwaukee M18 FUEL 14" Top Handle Chainsaw (Bare
Tool, 2826-20T)
Top handle saws are made for one-handed cuts up in the canopy, and Milwaukee finally built one that arborists and tree-care crews are taking seriously. 14-inch bar, FUEL brushless power, and instant start with no fuel mixing or pull cords to wrestle with at the top of a ladder.
STIHL GTA 26 Garden Pruner with Battery and Charger
The little tool that has won over every landscaper who’s tried one. The GTA 26 is essentially a battery-powered handheld pruner with a tiny chainsaw bar — perfect for cleaning up shrubs, cutting back small branches, and handling the dozens of little pruning jobs that used to mean reaching for a handsaw or hedge trimmer. Once you’ve used it on a job, you’ll wonder how you got by without it.

Chippers, Shredders & Mulchers
Cleanup is half the job. Whether you’re processing storm debris, prepping mulch from your own yard waste, or trying to cut down on dump fees, a chipper-shredder pays back the investment fast. We carry a full range from homeowner-grade units up to PTO-driven commercial machines.
What’s New in Outdoor Power Equipment
The OPE category moves fast right now — manufacturers are rolling out new models almost monthly as battery platforms keep getting more capable. Here are a few of the latest arrivals worth checking out:
Stocking Your Trailer for the Season
Landscaping is one of those trades where the right tools don’t just save time — they change what kind of jobs you can take on. A reliable battery platform turns a two-person, half-day cleanup into a one-person, two-hour job. A commercial-grade blower lets you bid the parking lot contracts you used to pass on. The right pruner makes you the crew that gets called back for the detailed work.
Whether you’re upgrading a single piece of equipment or building out a complete cordless system, this is the month to do it. Promotions on DEWALT, EGO, and Milwaukee outdoor lines don’t all line up like this very often.
