Buckhout Inc is a medium equipment landscaping company serving Eastern North Carolina. Owned and operated by Leigh Buckhout.
We currently own and field a new Bobcat T66 track loader with implements, including stump grinder, power rake, brush cutter and various buckets. Our track loader sports wide tracks to float on and protect your turf.
We also field a 16' goose neck dump trailer with 8 cubic yards of capacity (that's 80% capacity of many dump trucks!) for transporting equipment, hauling materials and waste disposal.
We work in partnership and coordination with other small business owners to provide the most complete and professional services we can for our community. Whenever subcontracting services we get your pre-approval and feedback. Any subcontractor must demonstrate the same dedication to customer service, professionalism and integrity that we strive for at Buckhout Inc.
