No. We are not a hire yard and we don't do dry hire or DIY rental. You tell us the job, we match a local operator who brings a mini excavator, digger or bobcat, and we handle the quote and invoice. If you need a self-drive rental, that's a different service.
Most residential and rural jobs are mini excavator, compact digger, or bobcat work — tight access, house pads, levelling, and small earthmoving. We match the operator to the block. Large civil kit is the wrong machine for most of these properties.
