Equipment for Covington and Newton County Projects

Property improvement and construction projects often require several different types of work. You may need to clear the work area, excavate, grade the property, move material, install drainage, or remove debris.

Our rental equipment can help with projects including:

Residential site preparation
Grading and leveling
Driveway work
Drainage improvements
Excavation
Landscaping
Material handling
Property cleanup
Land clearing
Construction cleanup

Instead of trying to accomplish every job with one machine, you can choose the equipment and attachments that best match the work you're doing.

Skid Steer Rentals for Grading and Site Preparation

Our Kubota SVL65-2 skid steer is a compact track loader that can handle a wide variety of property improvement and construction projects.

Common uses include:

Grading dirt and gravel
Preparing building areas
Moving soil and landscaping materials
Driveway maintenance
Loading trailers
Brush and debris cleanup
General property improvement

Different attachments allow the skid steer to perform different jobs.

Our skid steer attachments include grapple, smooth and toothed buckets, pallet forks, an auger, and a 48-inch trencher.

A grapple bucket can be useful for clearing and cleanup work involving brush, limbs, logs, and bulky debris. Smooth and toothed buckets provide different options for grading, digging, and moving material.

Excavator Rentals for Digging, Drainage and Site Work

When a Covington project requires greater digging depth, reach, or material-handling capability, our JCB 85Z-1 excavator provides a larger option.

The approximately 18,000-pound excavator is equipped with a 36-inch toothed bucket and hydraulic thumb, making it useful for:

Excavation
Drainage work
Trenching
Site preparation
Land clearing
Handling logs and debris
Digging on larger properties
Construction-related excavation

The hydraulic thumb is especially useful when a project involves handling logs, rocks, brush, or debris instead of simply excavating soil.

Equipment for Residential Construction and Property Improvements

Residential construction and property-improvement projects often require equipment before, during, and after construction.

A skid steer or excavator may be useful for:

Preparing an area for a building or other improvement
Removing unwanted material
Grading around completed improvements
Moving dirt and gravel
Preparing drainage areas
Landscaping
Cleaning up construction debris

For projects located inside Covington city limits, the City of Covington Planning & Development Department handles construction permitting, inspections, land use, zoning, and plan review.

Projects outside the city limits may instead fall under Newton County Planning & Development.

Property owners and contractors should determine which jurisdiction applies to the property and whether permits or approvals are required before beginning construction or significant site work.

Drainage and Stormwater Projects

Drainage can be an important consideration when grading or improving property in the Covington area.

Poor drainage can contribute to erosion, standing water, washed-out areas, and damage to driveways or landscaped areas.

The City of Covington Engineering Department provides guidance for private and public projects involving water, sewer, roads, and storm drainage. Covington also maintains a stormwater management program focused on stormwater runoff, flooding, pollution, and water quality.

Depending on the project, equipment such as an excavator, skid steer, or trencher may be useful for:

Moving and grading soil
Preparing drainage areas
Excavating drainage features
Correcting low areas
Preparing sites for drainage improvements

For projects involving significant soil disturbance within the city, customers can review Covington's land-disturbance application information before beginning work.

Auger Rentals for Fences and Post Holes

For projects requiring multiple holes, our skid steer auger can reduce the amount of manual digging required.

Available auger bits include:

8-inch
12-inch
16-inch

An auger can be useful for:

Fence posts
Gate posts
Sign posts
Landscaping projects
Other property improvements requiring repeated holes

Always have underground utilities properly located before drilling or excavating.

Trencher Rentals for Narrow Excavations

Our 48-inch skid steer trencher provides another option when a project requires a relatively narrow trench.

Depending on soil and site conditions, a trencher may be useful for certain:

Drainage installations
Water lines
Electrical lines
Utility work
Property-improvement projects

Always verify underground utility locations and any applicable permitting requirements before trenching.

Dump Trailer Rentals for Construction and Property Cleanup

Construction, landscaping, land clearing, and property-improvement projects often involve material that needs to be moved or hauled away.

Our 7×16 dump trailer features 4-foot sides, a 14,000-lb GVWR, and hydraulic dumping.

It can be useful for:

Construction cleanup
Property cleanup
Brush and debris
Dirt and gravel
Landscaping materials
Storm debris

For larger jobs, a dump trailer can be paired with a skid steer or excavator. The machine handles the loading while the trailer handles transportation and unloading.

Browse our trailer rentals for current rental information.

Land Clearing and Property Cleanup

Overgrown properties and sites being prepared for another use may require several different pieces of equipment.

A skid steer with a grapple bucket can handle brush, limbs, logs, and debris. An excavator provides additional digging, reach, and material-handling capability. A dump trailer can then be used to transport material away from the property.

Choosing the right combination of equipment can make a large cleanup or clearing project considerably more efficient.

For land-disturbing projects outside Covington city limits, Newton County provides its own land-disturbance permit information.
