Should you buy snow equipment or rent it?
In this episode of The Landscaper's Guide Podcast, Jack Jostes sits down with Trevor Biebrach, President of TCB Equipment Leasing, to discuss how snow contractors and landscape companies can scale their winter operations without tying up massive amounts of capital in equipment ownership. Trevor shares how his family built one of the nation's largest snow-focused rental fleets after decades in the snow removal business and explains why equipment rentals have become a strategic growth tool for contractors across the country.
Trevor and Jack dive into snow industry trends, the economics of renting versus buying, equipment packages that help contractors bid jobs more accurately, and the realities of running a snow-only business. They also discuss snow industry culture, emergency response operations, brine versus rock salt applications, and how technology and business systems help growing companies operate more efficiently. Whether you're looking to expand your snow division, improve profitability, or prepare for larger commercial contracts, this episode offers practical insights from someone who lives and breathes snow operations.
