the hours. There were just as many storms in the winter of 2013 to 2014 as this year, but relentless recurring blizzards kept sixfoot snow drifts on the streets and sidewalks of New England for two solid months. Chuck Staton, the owner of Staton’s Landscaping Inc., celebrated 35 years and counting during these storms. He established his company in Warren, R.I., his hometown, in 1979, seven years after graduating from the local high school just down the street from his Chestnut Street equipment yard. “My dad encouraged me to work outside. He showed me what to do and I liked it. I was cutting grass and weeding beds in our yard and for money, starting when I was 10 years old,” said Staton. “That turned to summer jobs while I always had a few steady clients. Then, when I went to the University of Rhode Island (U.R.I.), I was unsure what see StAtON page 4

Vt. Increases Spending — Reducing Backlog of Deficient Infrastructure By Wilson ring ASSOCIATED PRESS

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) Despite a decrease in real dollars that Vermont has received from the federal Highway Trust Fund over the past five years the state has increased spending on highway projects — reducing its backlog of structurally deficient bridges and catching up on much-needed paving projects.

Federal statistics analyzed by The Associated Press show that in the five-year period ending with Fiscal 2013 the state received a 7.8 percent increase in funding from the Highway Trust fund, but that amounts to a decrease of 0.3 percent when adjusted for inflation. Nevertheless, over that same five-year period Vermont’s overall highway spending increased by 31.2 percent bringing the state’s total spending in 2013 to $518.4 million. see SPENdINg page 6

Staton Landscaping Remains Involved in Masonry Projects STATON from page 4

crews on smaller jobs to make sure “that things are okay.” If the job requires it, his crew will work with a landscape architect, contractors, plumbers irrigation companies and lighting companies in special designs. “They usually work for us and are included in our bid, but sometimes the architect will get some of these subs.” said Staton. “What is satisfying is when everything comes together nicely.” Unusual Problems to Solve Over the years, Staton Landscaping Inc. has been working on more involved masonry and landscape projects. “To do this, my awareness of interpreting contour lines, elevations, using a laser level, the importance of excavating and preparing a proper base to end up at the desired finish grade has increased. Many of our landscape construction jobs now include a lot of underground drainage work, conduits for water and electric, etc.” Staton said that one of the benefits of his business is getting a call to examine challenging landscape situations and having to provide solutions. Sometimes, the calls are astonishing. “A woman called me. She had about 15 cats and many neighborhood cats hung around. The house was overgrown and infested with weeds outside,” said Staton. “Inside, the rooms we went into were full of packages, canned goods and trash all over the place. The cupboards were open and you could not see the counters because of all the

stuff piled on them. I was worried about bugs crawling on me. “She wanted to make her landscape look nice. I figured her budget was kind of small. She took me to every side of her house to explain what she wanted to attack. To my surprise, we ended up installing a new veneer on the front steps, new front masonry walk, all new beds and plants. She spent about $14,000 and sat in a chair outside every day and gave the men coffee and drinks and was very nice. “I really thought it was going to be a waste of time planning and estimating, but it was a very rewarding situation to see the end result,” Staton said. At a more conventional job recently on the east side of Providence, a client hired Dennis Diffley Co. to put in a new sewer line, which Staton is not licensed to do. Again, Staton found the unexpected. “They went down about 12 feet and found a dump site from the 1700 to 1800s, with hundreds of bottles, silverware and pieces of plates. I was given a few, and I have found some old bottles over the years in the earth,” said Staton. Business Planning There also is a technique to stay in business for four decades. The most valuable lessons he has learned in 36 years include, gaining experience working with another company, putting the right people in place to carry out the work, being ready to put in long days and business planning. “Being a seasonal business, the busy spring is a drain on your checkbook and the

bills you send out are paid slowly,” said Staton. “You have to mark the time in a book.” Staton, a longtime friend of local safety officers, has always tried to give back to his community. He has put in fields for Warren Little League on Water Street, landscaped the newest Warren Police Station and worked for churches, often gratis. “Usually they have a little budget that covers 50 percent or less or sometimes they have zero money,” Staton said. “I always try to take care of them by rounding up the materials and doing the work. Some of them, we give sponsorships or donations to.” In 2013, the priest of his own church, St. Mary of the Bay, approached Staton to landscape the front of the church. He did not have a budget. “Along with a core group of volunteers and my son Denny’s landscape plan, Staton’s Landscaping did some wrap up work and came back a few times in 2014 for maintenance,” said Staton. Civic pride and history always take precedence to an extra dollar. “This fall, I re-landscaped the front of the Warren Town Hall. Again, Dennis drew the landscape plan. I had four guys working there for three days,” said Staton. “There was no budget, except the town purchased some of the plants. We used all native plants because I wanted an educational component to the project. Also, I wanted the Town Hall to look up to date and environmentally friendly.” As a member of the Warren Tree Commission, Staton helps to protect trees in

town that he usually has planted himself. “I like to do my small part to help to make my town a better place to live,” Staton said. In a small, but competitive area like the East Bay of Rhode Island, it pays to know everyone, too. Word of mouth pays is a vital part of advertising. “I try to treat each client with a caring and personal touch so that they have a pleasant experience,” Staton said. “The most fun is my relationship with the clients and the men, creating a nice solution for someone’s site problem that will benefit them for many years.” His company has won many awards since 1995, including the Rhode Island Nursery and Landscape Association Professional Excellence Award for a job performed in June in Wickford, R.I. The award might just as well have been for ingenuity. “The job was at Wickford Inn, built in about 1763. As my worker walked over the septic system, it collapsed and his leg fell in, but he did not get hurt,” said Staton. “We worked around the area for three weeks waiting for the homeowner’s contractor to repair the cap of the septic system. Finally, the owner hired us to construct a brick cap for the system.” “We try to do a good job without going overboard.” For more information on Staton’s Landscaping Inc., call 401/247-2227 or visit www.stationslandscapinginc.com.

Vermont Receives Boost From Federal Recovery Spending SPENDING from page 1

A big reason for the spending increase: Federal Highway Administration payments — separate from the Trust Fund — that helped the state recover from damages caused by flooding from Tropical Storm Irene and other storms in 2011. Vermont highway spending also got a big boost in federal recovery spending passed after President Barack Obama took office to help states rebound from the Great Recession. Vermont in recent years has done well with federal highway spending. “Our state has in the last six years raised gas taxes twice. Most states aren’t doing that,’’ Vermont Transportation Secretary Sue Minter said. Vermont hasn’t been focusing on new, big-dollar highway projects. Rather, the state has been focusing on upgrading existing

highway infrastructure such as catching up on bridge repair and replacement and paving projects, Minter said. “We have been addressing deferred maintenance,’’ Minter said. “I would credit that our state Legislature has invested in us.’’ Several years ago, more than 30 percent of Vermont bridges were considered structurally deficient. Now that number is under 8 percent. In addition to drawing down federal disaster money, Vermont is putting to use other highway lessons learned after Irene about how to complete projects faster and at reduced costs. One of the methods has been to close a road or highway while bridge construction is under way. It increases local, short-term inconvenience, but makes construction faster, reducing construction costs and helping the state catch up on those needed projects. Another method is using innova-

tive bridge designs, such as the so-called “bridge in a backpack’’ that uses special concrete-filled tubes to support bridge spans. They’re less expensive, faster to build and require less maintenance than traditional bridges. Minter credits Vermont’s congressional delegation with ensuring the state does well. U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent who is a member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, said Vermont has done well under federal transportation programs. He said he has made the case that in Vermont, a rural state with a harsh climate, it costs more to maintain the state’s roads and bridges. “Vermont has a very small population compared to larger states, and there is a limit to how much we can raise in state and local funds,’’ Sanders said in a statement issued by his office.

While Vermont is chipping away at its highway project backlog, the future is not assured. “We’ve got a long way to go,’’ Minter said. Vermont is a border state with Canada, the United States’ largest trading partner, and the state’s highways are a critical part of the national transportation infrastructure. About 60 percent of the Vermont’s freight traffic is passing through the state. Congress is working on changing the way the money from the Highway Trust Fund works. It’s unclear how that will affect Vermont. “We remain concerned that small rural states could get left out of the picture,’’ Minter said. “There are a lot of risks ahead.’’ (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Shawmut Equipment Company Inc., a full service lifting equipment distributor since 1957, is now offering utility equipment. Starting in early 2015, Shawmut will have Terex TM Hi-Ranger tracked material handling buckets, Terex general digger derricks, tracked national cranes and Morooka rubber track carriers in stock for sale, rental or rental purchase. In addition to the new machines, popular utility equipment including National boom trucks, Grove rough terrain cranes, Grove yard boss industrial cranes and Grove hydraulic crawler cranes will continue to be available. Terex TM Hi-Ranger Tracked material handling buckets offer a variety of specialized options to adapt to different types of job sites. There are three machines in the TM High Ranger series, including the TM85 with 87 ft. (26.5 m) working height, TM100 with 100 ft. (30.5 m) working height and TM125 with 125 ft. (38 m) working height. The equipment provides 168 degrees of upper boom articulation and 90 degrees of lower boom articulation. The design enables long reach with a platform capacity of up to 800 lbs. (363 kg). The machine is equipped with control-plus 4-function single stick control at the platform. The Terex General series tracked digger derricks offer 100 degrees of boom travel (+80 to -20) with dual lift cylinders. The General series ranges from 65 ft. (20 m) sheave height to 95 ft. (29 m) sheave height. The machine is equipped with full pressure hydraulic controls, open-center hydraulic system and continuous unrestricted rotation. Tracked National cranes range from 30 to 45 ton (27 to 41 t) with tip heights between 163 and 203 ft. (50 to 62 m). National Crane offers durable equipment built for rigorous work schedules. The pilot operated hydraulic controllers allow for easy operation, the all steel crane cab with graphical LMI system is well insulated and grants high visibility and three position outriggers allow for a strong load chart. Gravity hung personnel baskets are available with cylinder brake lock for

easy maneuverability and strong reach. Many of these machines will be offered mounted on Prinoth Go-Tract carriers. The Prinoth carrier is a carefully developed sprocket-track system allowing for strong performance on all different terrains. The tracked carrier allows for a large payload, enabling choice of various attachments. Prinoth’s tracked vehicles exert very low pressure on the ground and go places where wheeled vehicles sink, according to the manufacturer.

Terex TM Hi-Ranger Tracked material handling buckets offer a variety of specialized options... Morooka rubber track carriers, ranging in capacity from 5,000 to 33,100 lbs. (2,268 to 15,014 kg), are equipped with hydrostatic transmission, allowing economical use of the engine’s full power, and user friendly sing-hand control levers. The HST system completely eliminates the need for clutch and gear controls making the Morooka highly maneuverable around the job site. The rubber tracks allow a low bearing ground pressure, high performance movement and excellent traction. The unique undercarriage allows for a stable and smooth ride with less vibration. Shawmut Equipment serves customers in the six states of New England, including Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont, as well as the Atlantic provinces of Canada, including New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland.
