"Received an estimate to grade my property to eliminate standing water on my gravel drive and bring in new gravel. The original estimate was $4600.63. When the job started Mr. Foster said I needed a larger size rock in the drive where the ground was not as firm. I said ok. When they started bringing in gravel for the rest of the drivel, it was very sandy and not what I expected. The final loads of gravel were ok. The south side of the building looked great but the north side just had 1 dozer path where dirt was pushed to a low area at the back of the property. It was getting late and I had to leave before they finished but Mr. Foster said it would be leveled off. The final bill was $ 6002.46. I was leaving town the next day so I paid him. When I returned a week later the job was not finished. Called him and he said they would get to it and return $375 for overcharging for a load of gravel. Never happened even after Angi tried. I am an old guy and trusted him to finish the job."

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.
