Here at Clayton Concrete & Backhoe, we are often asked by our customers in the Tulsa, Oklahoma City area for recommendations on which construction equipment suits their project. There is no one size fits all solution for every job, but most of the time a backhoe is the closest thing there is. It is extremely versatile, mobile, and cost-effective. The question is: When is it the best time to use a backhoe?

Many landscapers consider backhoe as their go-to equipment. It is perfect for digging up and/or moving trees and keeping their roots intact. It can also move boulders, rocks, soil and dig fence post holes, small ponds, and trenches. Regardless of the terrain, a backhoe delivers.

A backhoe is always present from the beginning to the end of most road construction projects. The plow on the opposite end from the bucket can help grade or smoothen out the road. After using it for digging, a backhoe can then help in pushing the dirt away from the construction site.

During winter, even when there is no construction ongoing, people use backhoes to plow snow and clear roads.
