Crusher hire for landscapers
Old patio out, new patio in. The CR450 crushes the slabs, walls and paths you’ve lifted into sub-base for the new job, right there in the garden.
The old patio becomes the new sub-base
Landscaping jobs create a lot of hard waste in a small space: lifted paving, broken concrete paths, old garden walls and hardcore. Getting it out usually means a line of skips on the drive and a bill that eats into the job.
With a CR450 you crush it on site and put it straight back under the new patio, path or driveway. The tracked chassis is gentle on the ground and narrow enough for tight access. At 970mm wide it gets into spaces a bigger machine couldn’t.
- Crush lifted paving, concrete paths and garden walls
- Reuse the crush as sub-base for the new hard landscaping
- 970mm wide for tight garden and side access
- Tracks minimise ground disturbance on finished areas
- Delivered to the job across Shropshire, Mid Wales & the West Midlands
How landscapers use the CR450
Patio & path replacement
Crush the old slabs and concrete and lay them back as the base for the new surface.
Garden walls & features
Break down brick walls, planters and old features to usable hardcore.
Driveway sub-base
Reuse graded crush under block paving, resin and gravel driveways.
Fewer skips on the drive
Less skip hire, fewer trips to the tip and less stone to buy in. Your quotes get sharper.

If it’s hard and inert, the CR450 will crush it
Concrete, bricks, blocks, paving slabs, paviours and tarmac can all be fed in and come out as graded aggregate you can reuse on the same job.

Dragon Equipment CR450
tracked diesel crusher
A compact, heavy-duty jaw crusher for demolition, recycling and aggregate production. It turns concrete, brick, stone and rubble into usable material, right where the job is.
Largest Hardox jaw in the range
A 460 × 205mm mouth takes bigger pieces of concrete, brick and stone. The funnel is shaped for loading from a mini excavator.
Instant crush size, 3–55mm
Adjust the jaw in seconds, from fine material for bedding to coarse crush for hardcore and sub-base.
Kubota D722 diesel
A 19HP engine that’s fuel-efficient, low-emission and reliable, with electric start, anti-stall and auto reverse.
12+ hours on a tank
The 33 litre fuel tank keeps it crushing all day without stopping to refuel.
970mm wide, 1,450kg
Narrow enough for tight sites and light enough to move on a trailer, which keeps transport costs down.
All-terrain tracks
Tracks give stable, low-impact movement over rough ground, so you can put the crusher where the waste is.

Landscapers: common questions
Anything else? Add it to your booking request or call 07866 152 151.
Will it fit through a side gate?
The CR450 is 970mm wide, so it fits through many side accesses. Measure your narrowest point, including gate posts, and add it to your booking request so we can confirm.
Will the tracks damage the lawn or surfaces?
The tracked design spreads the load and keeps ground disturbance to a minimum. We still recommend boarding over finished surfaces and soft ground.
Can I crush old paving slabs?
Yes. Concrete paving, riven slabs, concrete paths and brick all crush well. Remove any mortar beds that are full of soil, plus timber edging and membranes, before crushing.
What do I need to load it?
A mini excavator is ideal. The funnel is designed around it, and smaller jobs can be hand-fed. The greedy board comes fitted, raising the feed height to 1,780mm for faster loading of larger pieces.
