As a landscaper you understand the importance of keeping things neat and tidy. Without order, you wouldn’t be able to get your job done. No one wants to work in a chaotic environment with tools strewn about. You may need a place where you can keep your tools, or you may need a mobile office on-site so you don’t have to leave your client’s property anytime business needs to be attended to. Why not try a storage container?
What are the features of storage containers?
The benefits of storage containers for landscapers are numerous because they are portable and easy to maintain. Plus, they provide a place for you to keep your tools while you’re on the job. Storage containers are perfect for landscapers because they are:
-
Durable:Storage containers are made of durable materials (steel) that can withstand whatever you can throw at them. Even if a container is hit with such force that it receives a dent, the damage will be minimal and won’t render the container unusable.
-
Theft-proof: In order for someone to break into the container and steal your stuff, they would need industrial tools and even then, they’d still have a hard time getting in. You can leave your materials and tools at a jobsite overnight without worrying about someone stealing them.
-
Weather Resistant: Storage containers are created to be wind and watertight. You can leave your container outside during the heaviest of storms and it will incur no damage.
-
Mobile: Storage containers can be moved to whatever location you’re working at. Whether you are working at a commercial property or a home, you can bring your storage container with you.
-
Green: When you use a storage container for your landscaping needs, you are helping the environment. By using a structure that would otherwise sit in a shipping yard, unused until it is salvaged for scrap, you are contributing to the planet’s well-being. As a landscaper you no doubt have principles of sustainability that you adhere to, and your customers will notice, leading to more referrals and a satisfied client base.
-
Mini-office: You can store your tools and create a mini-office where you can complete the necessary paperwork that goes along with each landscaping job. Instead of running back and forth to your headquarters, turn a storage container, or a section of one, into a portable office, saving you time and money.
-
Rent or Buy: You can rent a container per job until you’re ready to buy. It will be a good investment in the long-run to own your own container, but you don’t have to commit to purchasing one right away. Rent a container and test it out on a few jobs to see if the size is right for your landscaping storage needs.
