B&B Tree Removal and Grading is committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.
"Highly Recommend B&B! We had a top notch experience with Brett Bridges and were thoroughly impressed with his work. He is honest, hardworking, and reasonably priced. We had a time sensitive situation (a large tree was down on our barn and we needed to remove it quickly in order to prevent further damage). Brett was super responsive and helpful in putting an estimate together and following through quickly. The tree was stuck in the roof, but Brett and his crew came in and removed it using heavy equipment, climbing gear, and saws, and left the area clean and cleared. Watching him work, it was clearly evident that he's an expert at what he does--the work was completed efficiently and just as we discussed. He is a man of his word and lives out his values, which is refreshing in today's world. He even came back out later with a bigger tarp just because he said he would (& I know it wasn't convenient for him). We would definitely have him work for us again in a heartbeat!"

Specializing in decks and remodeling we can install appliances,doors,tubs also offer excavator warm and tree trimming and removal
"It went great! He showed up the day he said he would, completed his work in a timely manner, and did a great job. He is a very down to earth guy, easy to talk to, and work with. His prices were fair. He completed everything I asked, and did it the way I wanted, except one or two small things he changed, because the way I had envisioned it was not feasible because of longevity of the project. His changes meant I would be able to enjoy it for years to come. Also, some things I didn't quite know how I wanted done, so we sat down and I gave him a vague idea of what I wanted and he made suggestions until we came up with something I liked. Overall, I had a very positive experience and will be using him again anytime I need a service he offers."

Renting an excavator with a professional operator costs more than renting equipment only, reflecting the added value of skilled labor. This arrangement eliminates the learning curve associated with machine operation and transfers liability to the service provider. For homeowners without experience with heavy equipment, the additional expense often proves worthwhile through increased efficiency and a reduced risk of property damage or personal injury.
Residential foundation work often requires a medium-sized excavator with sufficient digging depth and power to handle the project effectively. These machines offer the necessary capabilities without the excessive costs of larger models. When selecting equipment, consider both the foundation dimensions and site access limitations. The appropriate bucket width is also important—wider buckets move more material quickly, while narrower options provide greater precision in confined spaces.
Equipment rental requires some form of liability coverage. While some homeowners' insurance policies extend to rented equipment, many do not provide adequate protection. Rental companies offer insurance options or require proof of appropriate coverage before releasing equipment. Coverage requirements and costs vary based on the equipment value and project scope, making it essential to verify your protection before beginning work.
While formal certification isn't always mandatory for equipment rental, operating an excavator safely requires proper training. Most rental companies provide basic operational instructions, but expect renters to have some familiarity with heavy machinery. Depending on your location and project type, local regulations may require specific certifications or permits. Research your area's requirements before renting to ensure compliance with all applicable safety regulations.
Securing your equipment reservation well in advance of your project start date is advisable, particularly during the construction season. A two-week advance booking is recommended to ensure availability of your preferred machine type and size. During slower periods, shorter notice may be acceptable, but early planning provides greater flexibility and peace of mind. Some rental companies offer scheduling priority to customers who book further in advance.
