Hitachi and Glascott Landscape and Civil

Glascott Landscape and Civil - just 'Glascott' in everyday discussion - has the experience, knowledge, and skills to handle even the most challenging and unique landscape construction, and provides post-construction maintenance services that safeguard new landscapes and establish growth.

Beyond construction, Glascott Landscape and Civil can provide ongoing project maintenance designed to address deterioration and sub-optimum performance, reducing reactive spend and extending the life of landscapes.

After many years using another brand of excavator, Glascott has moved to Hitachi, and the change wasn't driven only by the performance of the machinery.
