Allow for gates, steps and uneven ground when planning access. Check equipment weight and safe handling requirements before arranging transport.
Typical jobs
Landscaping equipment covers ground preparation and outdoor finishing: compacting a sub-base for paths, patios and driveways, levelling, clearing and preparing planting areas. These jobs often suit a short hire because the work is concentrated into a few days. Decide the area, the depth of material and the finished surface before choosing equipment.
How to choose
Compare operating weight, plate or working width and fuel type on each equipment page. Heavier machines compact deeper layers but are harder to move, and a wider plate covers more ground per pass. Match the equipment to the material you are working with and the thickness of each layer, and check whether the machine runs on petrol, diesel or electricity before you plan fuel and power.
Before you hire
Allow for gates, steps and uneven ground when planning access, and check the weight before arranging how to lift or transport it. Plan where fuel will be stored and handled safely. Expect noise and vibration, wear hearing and foot protection, and consider neighbours when choosing working hours. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and ask the team if the specifications do not answer a question.
Questions to ask before you book
How heavy is the equipment, and how will it get to the work area? What fuel does it use? How wide is it compared with your narrowest access point? How many passes will your material and depth need? Are there any noise or working-hour limits to respect? If any answer is unclear, ask the team before you request your hire.
