The origin of the words trailer and rack can be traced back to the late 16th century, when they were derived from Dutch terms meaning “to drag” and “to stretch” respectively. Today, they are essential tools used by landscapers to transport tools and materials, as well as larger pieces of equipment, and to store and display items.

Working in landscaping can be both physically and mentally demanding, but there are many ways to stay energized and productive while on the job. Listening to music, engaging in conversation with co-workers, taking short breaks to stretch, learning about plants and trees, taking pictures of completed projects, creating an active playlist, and more are just some of the activities that can help to keep energy levels up and increase productivity.
