Landscape Equipment Financing

Looking for Landscape Equipment Financing?

Landscape Equipment Financing Made Easy

Spring contracts won’t wait for slow lenders.
You need powerful gear—compact loaders, skid-steers, tree-care lifts—now, but dropping $60K+ would choke your cash flow just as mulch season hits.

Problem: Up-front equipment costs paired with seasonal revenue dips.
Solution: Fast, flexible landscape equipment financing that preserves capital, locks predictable payments, and gets iron on the trailer this week.

Landscape Equipment Financing 101

What counts as “landscape equipment”?

We fund titled machinery landscapers use every day:

  • Skid-steers & mini skid-steers

  • Compact track loaders & excavators (≤ 15,000 lbs)

  • Tree-care aerial lifts & stump grinders

  • Hydroseeders & bark blowers

  • Dump & equipment trailers (titled)

Need something unique? Send your vendor link—odds are we’ve financed one before.

Why Financing Beats Paying Cash

Preserve cash flow for payroll & materials

A $48,000 compact loader at $989/mo (60 mo, 7.99 % APR, $0 down*) keeps nearly $47K in your checking account—fuel for payroll, diesel, and sod deliveries.

Section 179 tax benefit snapshot

Write off up to 100 % of the purchase price in year one. At a 22 % tax bracket, that’s a ~$10,500 reduction—often covering your first 10–12 payments.

Sample payment based on prime profile: 650 + FICO & ≥ 2 yrs in business. Subject to credit approval.
