Earth moving and landscaping equipment is used to prepare construction sites, and to maintain developed property around industrial buildings, office parks, and commercial centers. There are many different types of tools, equipment, machines, and vehicles. Heavy earth moving and landscaping equipment such as bulldozers, backhoes, dump trucks, and cement trucks are used to prepare building lots, clear trees, move fill, and pour foundations for new buildings. Forestry equipment such as log cutters and chainsaws are used to clear trails and remove downed tree limbs or other fallen debris. Earth moving and landscaping equipment is also used to prepare and maintain parking lots, driveways and access roads. Road grading equipment is used to prepare dirt or gravel roadways for subsequent paving with asphalt or cement. Road paving and sealing machinery is also used to demarcate special or restricted zones such as parking spaces or no-parking zones.

Landscaping services and property management companies use many different types of earth moving and landscaping equipment. Examples include tractors, mowers, rototillers, chainsaws and pruners. Tractors are motorized vehicles that tow or pull mowers, seeders, and other specialized attachments. There are two broad categories of lawn mowers: walk-behind and riding. Walk-behind lawn mowers use the motive force of an operator to steer the device. Styles include rotary, mulching, and self-propelled. Rotary lawn mowers have a metal deck and use a gasoline-powered engine or rechargeable battery. Some products start with a pull cord. Rototillers are earth moving and landscaping equipment that turn and aerate the soil with tines which rotate on a shaft parallel to the ground. Often, larger rototillers are used with a tractor that has a creeper gear. Chainsaws are portable, motorized saws that are used to remove dead or low-hanging tree limbs. Pruners are long-handled, manually-powered saws with a curved blade at the end. They are designed to trim trees and shrubs. Other types of earth moving and landscaping equipment are also commonly available.
