Irrigation & Green Industry published the results of its 2021 equipment maintenance survey. The magazine asked landscape professionals about their habits when it comes to buying and maintaining equipment for their work.

Interesting findings include:

• Trusted experts are key to purchasing decisions. An overwhelming majority of respondents (88%) stated that they visit an authorized dealer or distributor when making purchases.
• Proper maintenance is a priority. Another strong majority (71%) do daily or weekly maintenance checks on their equipment.
• Battery-powered equipment is not a priority. Just 5% of respondents use battery-powered mowers, though 39% said they use some handheld battery-powered tools like leaf blowers.
