Equipment Rentals in Comer, GA
A project around Comer can start with a simple goal—build a shop, replace a fence, improve an entrance, clean up acreage, or prepare another homesite—and quickly turn into five different jobs.
That's especially true on larger properties. Before the main project starts, access may need work. Then comes excavation. Dirt and gravel have to be moved. Materials need to reach the work area. Finally, the property has to be put back together when construction is finished.
Cornerstone Equipment Rentals provides jobsite delivery to Comer and the surrounding Madison County area, with equipment that can stay useful through multiple stages of the project.
Before the First Board Goes Up
Suppose you're adding a barn, workshop, equipment shed, detached garage, or similar structure.
The building itself may not be the first thing that needs attention.
Can delivery trucks reach the site?
Is the proposed building area accessible?
Does water already collect there after heavy rain?
Where will excavated material go?
Where will construction materials be staged?
Answering those questions before construction begins can determine which equipment you actually need.
Stage One: Make Room to Work
If the building area or route to it has been partially overtaken by brush and storm debris, start there.
Our Kubota SVL65-2 skid steer can be paired with a 72-inch grapple bucket to grab and relocate brush, limbs, and irregular debris.
For larger logs, rocks, and heavier material, our JCB 85Z-1 excavator provides substantially more capability.
Its hydraulic thumb works against the bucket so bulky objects can be gripped instead of merely pushed around the property.
You aren't necessarily clearing the whole parcel. You're creating enough room for the project, deliveries, equipment movement, and future access.
Stage Two: Get Below Ground
Once the work area is open, excavation begins.
The JCB 85Z-1 weighs approximately 18,000 pounds and is equipped with a 36-inch toothed bucket and hydraulic thumb.
It can handle heavier digging, drainage excavation, and other earthmoving work that goes beyond what you'd normally ask of a compact track loader.
Its zero-tail-swing design is also useful when the new project is being added to an established property where the existing house, barn, driveway, or fence limits working room.
Stage Three: Move Everything the Excavator Dug Up
Excavation doesn't make dirt disappear.
It simply changes where the dirt is.
That's where the skid steer becomes the support machine.
The 72-inch smooth bucket can move loose dirt, gravel, and other material around the site.
For harder material or areas needing more aggressive ground engagement, the 72-inch toothed bucket provides another option.
On a project using both machines, the excavator can stay focused on digging while the skid steer moves material away and keeps the work area manageable.
Stage Four: Get the Materials From the Truck to the Project
A delivery truck usually stops where it can safely unload.
That isn't always where you're building.
On a larger Comer-area property, there may be considerable distance between the delivery point and the actual work site.
Our 48-inch pallet forks allow the skid steer to move suitable palletized or properly secured materials around an accessible property.
Once the material-moving portion is finished, the forks come off and the machine goes back to dirt work.
That attachment flexibility is one reason a skid steer can remain useful from the beginning of a project almost to the end.
Stage Five: Don't Create a Water Problem
Changing the grade or adding another structure changes how water moves across the property.
That makes drainage something to think about during site preparation, not after the first heavy rain.
The excavator can handle larger drainage excavation.
For appropriate narrower trenching work, our 48-inch skid steer trencher provides another option.
Once the drainage work is complete, the skid steer can return for fill, aggregate, and final surface work.
Now What About the Fence?
A new building often leads to another project.
Maybe you're fencing the area around it. Maybe you're adding a gate. Maybe livestock or equipment needs to be separated from the new structure.
Our skid steer auger is available with three bit sizes:
That lets the same skid steer that handled the site work become the power unit for the next stage of the property improvement.
Always have underground utilities properly located before excavation, trenching, or augering.
Finish the Project Instead of Leaving the Construction Site Behind
The building may be finished while the property around it still looks unfinished.
There may be piles of dirt, displaced gravel, construction debris, ruts from delivery trucks, and material that needs to leave the property.
The skid steer can handle grading and material movement.
Our 7×16 dump trailer can handle appropriate hauling with 4-foot sides, tandem axles, a 14,000-lb GVWR, and hydraulic dumping.
That allows the final stage to be part of the original rental plan instead of becoming another project six months later.
Comer Has a Specific Permitting Process
Here's something worth knowing before you schedule equipment.
Madison County states that properties inside the City of Comer fall under the city's jurisdiction for zoning approval. If the project requires a county building permit, the county instructs customers inside Comer to first contact City Hall and determine the city's requirements. When required, the city provides approval documentation that is then used in the county permitting process.
Customers can find Comer City Hall contact information through the Madison County municipalities directory.
For property outside the city limits, Madison County Planning & Zoning handles county zoning and development matters.
Get those questions answered before rental day so your equipment time is spent working.
One Rental Can Cover More Than One Stage
If you're planning a project around Comer, don't think only about the first task.
Think through the sequence:
Access → excavation → material movement → drainage → construction support → fencing → cleanup.
Then choose the equipment and attachments around the complete project.
