I'm just starting to get into more and more hardscaping. Started a major job this past Monday and I bought some new tools to help out.
I went out and bought a Berger LMH600 laser with dual slope capabilities (still need to figure it out, I've been manually setting it to pitch).
Purchased a Shindaiwa EC7600 14" saw today, I should get to try it out on Saturday.
I have a Sakai 5.5 honda plate compactor which does a fair job but I would like something larger.
I rented a few tools for this job which were major time savers. 1). Mustang MTL25, 10.5K lb tracked skid steer with a 84" bucket. This monster heaps up almost a yd at a time and it's quick around the jobsite. The tracks put down only 4.3 PSI. 2). 1.5ton Compac vibratory roller. This made short work of base prepping for the patio. I would estimate it saved 8-10hrs over compacting with a plate compactor.
I would say the best "investment" you can make are those latex dipped work gloves. they're hard to beat
