Took the Yanmar to Arc of Hanover Thrift Store to clear part of the parking lot where the woods were trying to encroach on the asphalt. The wonderful volunteers had been using shovels to do the job. Equipment makes it much easier, the tractor with a landscape rake made quick work of it.

Sometimes you need more than one piece of equipment to get the job done.

New to our small but growing fleet is a Vermeer RTX130 walk behind trencher. This little machine can fit through most gates with its 35” width, and can dig a 4” wide trench up to about 28” deep.

The excavator was on standby to get through the hard packed fill and some pesky roots that were a bit too much for the trencher.

Using the excavator to backfill the trench was overkill so the tractor with the land plane helped to clean up the job.

Reach out and let me know what you are working on and let me see if I have something that will make your job a little easier!

A true test for the Develon DX27Z mini excavator. Digging out a huge stump.

This job required additional tools and assistance for leverage when getting the stump out but the digging was all done with the excavator.

Most stumps (up to about 20” or so in diameter) can be dug out in under an hour. This one took about 9 hours.

At $300 per day with free delivery up to 10ish miles, why pay to have a stump ground when you can remove it?

We aim to provide the following to everyone:
1. A high level of customer service.
2. Quality and mechanically sound equipment.
3. Prices well below those found in the area.

The downside is that we don’t have a huge fleet. All of this equipment was purchased by me for working around my property. There will be more added as the company grows but until then, we may have to play some dueling calendars to help get your sorted out.

We always include free delivery and pickup within 10 miles on all our rentals.

To make it as simple as possible, we calculate the distance from the 295 interchange with Cold Harbor/Airport roads.

If your location is beyond 10 miles, we charge $2 per loaded mile. Of course, you are always welcome to pick up the equipment with your trailer.

**Trailers used to haul equipment must meet applicable requirements for weight, functionality, and road worthiness (registered and insured).**
