Landscaping your yard to look the way you want it to look can take a lot of labor-intensive work. While it is possible to use a shovel, rake, and wheelbarrow to get the work done, you are going to be feeling it in your muscles for a few days, and it is going to take more than a few days. To save time and a lot of physical work, visit a construction equipment rental facility. Here are a few pieces that can make the project much easier.

Excavator

Moving dirt around from one spot to another to make the yard level or to create small hills is back-breaking work. Use an excavator to move the earth where you need it to be. It is also a good way to remove the top portion of the soil that may have weeds or stones throughout.

Bucket Truck

If you are going to be moving a lot of dirt or gravel, using a bucket truck is a good idea. The bucket can scoop up large loads and dump them into the back of the truck. This is especially handy if you need to move the aggregate a fair distance or off the property.

Stump Grinder

Trying to get old tree stumps out is never easy. If it hasn't started to break down and decay, it is even harder. A stump grinder will let you grind it all the way down to be level with the ground without the need for chains and a hydraulic pulley.

Tree Spade

If you are going to be transplanting large trees, a tree spade will get the job done. This machine has blades that go completely around the tree and into the ground to lift it out, roots and all. It can also be used to dig the hole where the tree is going, saving you from having to use a shovel. Truck-mounted tree spades are available that can move trees that are up to 50 feet tall.

Your yard can be a special place where you enjoy the day outside with your family or a quiet evening alone. There is no need to think that the work involved to create the atmosphere you want is going to be much more than you can handle or will take too long to accomplish. Rent the landscaping equipment you need and get everything the way you want it in just a few days. You may need to wait for some things to grow, but with everything in place you will be able to envision the end results better.
