Two product groups for one trade. Premium rotating lasers for outdoor levels, retaining wall heights and paving falls. Budget rotating lasers for occasional jobs and weekend work. Both project a 360° plane and read with a millimetre receiver on a staff.
If you’re after a laser level for landscaping – levelling ground, setting falls for paving and drainage, or keeping retaining courses straight – this page covers both groups, plus the tripods, staffs and receivers that pair with them.
Occasional jobs or weekend work? Skip to budget rotating lasers ↓
Both auto-level, both work with a receiver on a staff, both built for outdoor use. Pick by how often the laser leaves the ute and what features you need beyond plain horizontal level.
Electronic levelling for higher accuracy, IP66-rated for tough conditions, 5-year warranty. Premium models add single or dual grade for setting falls – the standout feature for paving, drainage and retaining batter work.
Best for:
Same one-button auto-levelling as premium models, but stripped to plain horizontal-only operation – no grade. Pick if you only need level and the price gap matters more than the feature gap.
Best for:
Six rotating laser levels – entry-level horizontal-only through to flagship Digital Dial-a-Grade. All IP66 rated for outdoor work, every model pairs with a millimetre receiver on a staff for setting and checking levels at distance.
Setting falls for paving and drainage? The grade-capable models – EL614S (single grade via slope remote), EGL624GM (dual grade) and DGL1010GM (digital grade to +/- 10.000% dual axis) – are covered in depth on the grade lasers page. The full rotary range lives on the rotating lasers hub.
Affordable rotating lasers for occasional trade use, owner-builders and DIY. Same one-button auto-levelling – without the grade and slope features of the premium range. Plain horizontal level, 1-person operation with a receiver.
For the full budget range including kits and packages, see the Budget Rotating Laser range.
Short walkthroughs from the RedBack channel – how a rotary laser and receiver work, and how single, dual and automatic grades are set for falls and drainage.
Where a rotating laser earns its keep on a landscaping job – outdoor work where you need level or grade across a distance, solo, in full sun.
Set the rotating laser to a known fall (1-in-100, 1-in-200) and pave to grade for the entire run. Receiver on the staff confirms the grade at every point – no string-and-bubble back-and-forth.
Run a level reference along the wall line for top-of-block, top-of-course or capping height. One person, every check off the same datum, courses stay straight over a long retaining run.
Set the laser plane to FFL or known datum, level the bed in to it. Lawn falls and bed edges hold true across the yard without rechecking with a tape every metre.
Coping height, surround levels, water-feature edge – every height marked off the same laser plane. Solo, accurate, no second person on the staff.
Set the grade laser to the design fall, screed and pave to grade with the receiver on the staff. Long-run driveways stay true to fall from start to end without compounding error.
Single laser checks every post height across a long pergola or carport. Tilt for a 1-in-100 fall away from the house if you want the deck to shed water.
Tripod and 5 m staff for rotating-laser work, plus hand-held mm receivers for level checks at distance.

Anyone can sell a laser. Few back it properly.
We sell laser levels and measurement tools – that’s it. Every laser on this page is one we’ve used and chosen because it works for landscapers, not because it fills a catalogue page.
Solid construction, built for the long term. RedBack provides in-house repair and calibration services for all RedBack lasers and most other laser brands.
Call us and you’ll speak to someone who knows the products. No scripts, no call centre, no runaround – just straight answers from people who’ve worked with these tools for 25 years.
A rotating laser read with a millimetre receiver on a staff. It projects a 360° plane across the whole yard and one person checks heights at distance, in full sun. For daily trade landscaping with paving falls and drainage, a grade-capable model like the EL614S (single grade) or EGL624GM (dual grade) is the pick. If you only need plain horizontal level for occasional jobs, a budget rotating laser does the same levelling for less.
Outdoors the beam itself is hard to see by eye, so the answer is a rotating laser paired with a receiver (also called a laser detector). The laser spins a reference plane and the receiver picks the beam up at distance, showing exactly how far above or below level you are – RedBack mm receivers read down to 0.5mm. Every rotating laser on this page works this way, and the premium models are IP66 rated against dust and water.
Yes – that’s core landscaping work. Set the rotating laser plane to your finished level or a known datum, then work the ground in to it with the receiver on a staff. Garden beds, lawn levels, pad prep and paving bedding are all done the same way, and falls and edges hold true across the yard without rechecking with a tape every metre.
With a grade laser. Set the rotating laser to a known fall (1-in-100, 1-in-200) and pave to grade for the entire run – the receiver on the staff confirms the grade at every point, no string-and-bubble back-and-forth. The EL614S sets a single grade via slope remote, the EGL624GM sets dual grades, and the DGL1010GM dials a digital grade to +/- 10.000% in both axes. See the full grade laser range for how each method works.
Pick by how often the laser leaves the ute and what features you need beyond plain horizontal level. Premium models bring electronic levelling for higher accuracy, IP66 sealing for tough conditions, and single or dual grade for setting falls – the standout feature for paving, drainage and retaining batter work. Budget models keep the one-button auto-levelling but are plain horizontal only – right for owner-builders, weekend work and occasional trade levelling.
Yes – the receiver is what makes it a one-person tool. Set the laser once, then walk the yard with the receiver on the staff: retaining wall courses, coping heights, bed edges and pad levels all read off the same datum. No second person holding a string line or the other end of a level.
A tripod and staff, plus a receiver. The 240HDF tripod and 2.4m staff bundle covers most landscaping work; step up to the 5m staff with elevating tripod when you’re working over bigger height differences. Moving serious material with a machine? The MR706 machine receiver magnet-mounts to an excavator so the operator reads heights from the seat.

BBearing Logistics6 months agoGreat customer service and open dialogue and follow up. 100% deserved the five stars. Well done
FFranz Franz6 months agoCustomer service was above and beyond. Product has met and beaten expectations. They were sold out of the package deal I wanted but contacted me directly when stock came in to offer it without waiting for it to go online. Had the laser over two weeks now and it's light beam is brighter than my mates DeWalt and the receiver works at a longer distance. Another cool feature is that the batteries have a USB C port on them for charging with USB C cable instead of needing another charger. Was dubious about them being cheaper than others on the market but I honestly can't fault it. Carry box also feels strong and sturdy.
