"Joel did a great job turning some raw undeveloped land into a beautiful up hill driveway. The job involved rebuilding a stone wall, tree stump excavation, sculpting over 250 yards of soils into gentle slopes and finishing the job by spreading gravel for the new driveway. Joel is a master at working an excavator and has excellent work ethics. I am looking forward to having him back to do the next round of work on my property."

We do not want to mow your lawn. :) We do not want to clean your gutters. :) We do want to plow snow in the winter. :) What do want to do is to help make your outdoor spaces gorgeous and enjoyable for you and the family. The most common services we provide are landscape design, grading, tree work, and implementation. Often the property needs to better graded and have trees cut or limbed to increase sunlight. Once those are addressed - the fun can begin!!! It is our mission to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction from start to completion of a project. Our reputation is based on service, safety, and quality, regardless of how large or small the job. We have a direct and practical approach to each project.
"Our project involved growing a nice lawn where we had lots of moss and bare space and had failed in previous efforts, removing damaged or overgrown shrubs and replacing them with new plantings, and nice edging all around. Edison Chae (the owner) listened to what we wanted, made good suggestions, submitted a proposal that was reasonably priced, and did what he promised and more for the proposal price. He and his crew were pleasant and professional. They left the site clean. He even went with us to a wholesale garden company to select new plantings that would work well on our property and please us. Thr crew improved the working of our sprinkler system by relocating or repairing some sprinklers and adjusting all of them to give us better watering coverage. They also removed some tree limbs where we needed more sunlight. Finally, he came back to overseed any areas that had not come in so well."

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.
