15. Why We’re Testing a Fully Electric Landscaping Crew in 2026

In this episode, Shay and Zac take on one of the most controversial debates in modern landscaping: Is electric equipment finally ready to replace gas?

We break down why Landscaping Unlimited is putting an entire commercial lawn crew on 100% electric handhelds in 2026, not for clout, not for marketing, but to get actual field data no one else is sharing.

You’ll hear the real pros, the real failures, and the questions every landscaper and property manager SHOULD be asking before switching to electric.

You’ll learn:

• Why quiet equipment matters more than people think
• What electric gets right, and where it falls apart
• How runtime, charging, and battery rotation REALLY work
• Whether electric tools can survive full-season abuse
• Why the future of landscaping equipment is hybrid, not one-sided

Whether you run a crew, own a business, or manage commercial property, this episode gives you the insight you’ve been waiting for.
