Equipment Rentals in Between, GA
Between is appropriately named: it's a small Walton County community positioned between larger and faster-growing areas, while still retaining the lower-density character that attracted people there in the first place. That creates a particular kind of equipment customer—someone with enough property to have serious outdoor projects but who may not own a skid steer or excavator because they only need one occasionally.
Cornerstone Equipment Rentals provides jobsite delivery to Between and the surrounding Walton County area for those projects.
Five Acres Can Produce a Surprisingly Long To-Do List
A larger homesite doesn't have to be a working farm to generate equipment-sized jobs.
You buy the property and discover the gravel drive needs work. Six months later, a storm puts a tree across the back of the property. Then you decide to fence part of the acreage. After that comes a detached shop, a drainage problem, or the section of woods you've wanted to clean for years.
Individually, those projects may not justify owning heavy equipment.
Together, they're exactly the kind of work where renting a machine for a concentrated period can make sense.
Our Kubota SVL65-2 skid steer is particularly useful for a property with a mixed to-do list because the machine can change attachments as the project changes.
Suppose Your Weekend Starts With a Load of Gravel
The truck dumps gravel near the driveway.
With the 72-inch smooth bucket, the skid steer can move that material to the areas where it's needed and work damaged sections of the drive.
Then the bucket comes off.
A pile of storm-damaged limbs at the back of the property needs attention, so the 72-inch grapple bucket goes on.
Once the cleanup is finished, you're ready to start the fence.
Now the grapple comes off and the skid steer auger goes on.
That's three very different projects with one power unit.
Browse our skid steer and attachment rentals if you're planning several jobs and want to see which attachments can be combined with the machine.
The Property Line You've Been Meaning to Clean
Larger residential properties often have areas that aren't maintained like the front yard.
The back property line gradually grows in. Limbs fall along the woods edge. An old fence becomes buried in brush. An unused corner starts disappearing.
That doesn't necessarily call for clearing the land.
It may simply need selective cleanup.
The grapple allows the skid steer to grab brush and limbs rather than pushing everything farther into the woods.
If you encounter larger timber or rocks, that's where our JCB 85Z-1 excavator becomes useful.
Its hydraulic thumb allows the operator to grab logs, rocks, and other bulky objects between the thumb and bucket.
When a Property Improvement Turns Into an Excavation Project
Some projects eventually get beyond what the skid steer is intended to do.
Maybe you're preparing for a detached garage and discover more excavation is required than expected. Maybe an old drainage ditch needs substantial work. Maybe there's a large stump, rock, or fallen tree that needs heavier equipment.
Our JCB 85Z-1 weighs approximately 18,000 pounds and has a 36-inch toothed bucket, hydraulic thumb, and zero-tail-swing design.
That gives it the digging and handling capacity for heavier property work while the zero-tail-swing configuration can be useful around existing buildings, fences, and driveways.
The Driveway May Be Telling You Something
If you repair the same washed section of gravel every year, the driveway may not actually be the problem.
Watch it during a hard rain.
Is water running down the wheel tracks? Crossing the driveway? Pooling at the edge? Is a ditch overflowing before the water reaches the culvert?
If so, another load of gravel may only reset the clock.
The excavator can handle larger ditch and drainage excavation. For suitable narrower trenching projects, our 48-inch skid steer trencher provides another option.
Then use the skid steer for the surface repair after the water problem has been addressed.
A New Shop Changes More Than the Building Footprint
Adding a garage, workshop, storage building, or similar structure to acreage usually creates work around the building too.
Materials have to reach the site. Dirt and aggregate need moving. The surrounding grade may need attention. Construction leaves debris.
Our 48-inch pallet forks can move suitable palletized or properly secured materials around an accessible property.
The skid steer can then switch back to a bucket for dirt and gravel instead of requiring another machine just because the project entered a different stage.
For the Fence You've Been Putting Off
A few post holes can be dug manually.
A long property line is another matter.
The skid steer auger is available with three bit sizes:
That gives you options for different fence, gate, sign, and other post-hole applications.
Always have underground utilities properly located before excavation, trenching, or augering.
Between Is Small, but Growth Around It Isn't
One of the issues identified in Between's long-range planning is maintaining its small-town character while dealing with growth occurring nearby.
That's important for property owners because an area that remains relatively low-density can still experience new homes, changing traffic patterns, and development pressure around it.
Before beginning construction or substantial land work, customers can review Walton County Planning & Development for current information about residential and commercial permits, planning and zoning, land-disturbance applications, and related requirements.
For property within Between's municipal limits, determine whether town requirements also apply before beginning the project.
Don't Turn Cleanup Into a Permanent Brush Pile
The grapple can clean a property quickly enough that disposal becomes the next problem.
Our 7×16 dump trailer has 4-foot sides, tandem axles, a 14,000-lb GVWR, and hydraulic dumping.
For appropriate loads, it gives you a way to haul away property debris, construction cleanup material, brush, dirt, gravel, and landscaping material rather than simply moving everything to another corner of the property.
Tell Us About the Whole Project
If you're renting equipment in Between, don't just tell us:
“I need a skid steer.”
Tell us:
“I need to repair my driveway, clean about 300 feet of property line, and drill posts for a new fence.”
That gives us much more useful information because the right rental may involve one machine with several attachments.
