Equipment Rentals in Lexington, GA

In Lexington and the surrounding Oglethorpe County countryside, a property project can involve a lot more ground than a typical residential lot. Farm acreage, agricultural property, timberland, wooded homesites, pasture, private roads, and rural building sites create jobs where a skid steer or excavator can save a tremendous amount of labor.

Cornerstone Equipment Rentals provides jobsite delivery to Lexington and surrounding Oglethorpe County with equipment for excavation, land maintenance, drainage, road and driveway work, fencing, construction, and cleanup.

One Machine for Several Jobs Around the Property

When you're working on acreage, the job you start in the morning may not be the job you're doing that afternoon.

You may need to move gravel first, clean a fence line next, relocate materials around a barn, and finish by cleaning up brush.

Our Kubota SVL65-2 skid steer can change attachments as the work changes.

Available attachments include buckets, a grapple, pallet forks, an auger, and trencher. That versatility can make the skid steer particularly useful when you have several smaller projects scattered across the same property.

Browse our skid steer and attachment rentals to compare the available options.

Reopen an Old Farm or Woods Road

Old access roads don't necessarily disappear all at once.

First the edges grow in. Then limbs fall across the road. Water cuts ruts into the surface. Eventually a route that was once usable becomes difficult to travel with a pickup or trailer.

The 72-inch grapple bucket can help remove brush, limbs, and debris from the route.

After access is opened, the 72-inch smooth bucket can move gravel and work damaged sections of the road.

For harder ground, the 72-inch toothed bucket provides more aggressive ground engagement.

Heavy Excavation and Rural Property Work

Some projects simply require a larger machine.

Our JCB 85Z-1 excavator weighs approximately 18,000 pounds and is equipped with a 36-inch toothed bucket and hydraulic thumb.

It can be used for projects such as:

• General excavation
• Ditch cleaning
• Drainage improvements
• Site preparation
• Handling logs
• Moving rocks
• Storm cleanup
• Removing bulky debris
• Working around wooded areas

The hydraulic thumb is especially valuable when the job involves irregular material such as logs and rocks rather than dirt alone.

Clean Up Timber and Storm Debris

Wooded acreage often produces work even when you're not clearing the land.

Trees fall across trails. Limbs accumulate along field edges. Storms bring down material around barns and driveways.

The excavator's hydraulic thumb can grab larger logs, while the skid steer grapple can handle brush and smaller debris.

Working the two types of equipment according to the size of the material can make cleanup substantially more efficient than trying to push everything into a pile.

Improve Drainage Around Fields and Roads

On rural land, water can affect far more than the yard around the house.

Poor drainage can damage a farm entrance, wash gravel from a private road, leave standing water near a building, erode a ditch, or make an access route difficult to use.

Our excavator provides the digging capacity for larger drainage and ditch projects.

For appropriate work requiring a narrower trench, our 48-inch skid steer trencher provides another option.

Once the drainage issue is addressed, the skid steer can move dirt or aggregate to restore the surrounding area.

Fence Lines Across Larger Parcels

The number of post holes adds up quickly when a fence crosses several acres.

Our skid steer auger is available with:

• 8-inch auger bit
• 12-inch auger bit
• 16-inch auger bit

Different bit sizes provide options for standard posts, larger gate and corner posts, signs, and other post-hole projects.

The grapple can also be useful beforehand when an old fence line needs brush and fallen limbs removed before new fencing can be installed.

Always have underground utilities properly located before augering, trenching, or excavation begins.

Barns, Shops and Agricultural Buildings

Building or improving a barn, shop, equipment shed, or other structure on rural property can involve several different equipment jobs.

The excavator can perform heavier digging and site work. The skid steer can move dirt and aggregate, grade around the structure, and clean the site.

Our 48-inch pallet forks can also be used to move suitable palletized or properly secured materials around the jobsite.

Instead of thinking about the rental as one machine for one task, it can be useful to plan the entire project and choose attachments that allow the machine to stay productive through several stages of the work.

Planning a Project in Oglethorpe County

Lexington is the county seat of Oglethorpe County, and customers planning construction or changes to the use of their property should determine what approvals apply before beginning the work.

Oglethorpe County Planning & Zoning provides information about zoning, land use, the county's Unified Development Code, and related permits and forms.

For construction projects, Oglethorpe County Building Permits & Inspections provides current permit and inspection information.

Checking those requirements before scheduling equipment helps prevent a rental from arriving before the property is ready for work.

Haul Out What the Equipment Cleans Up

Land cleanup, construction, and driveway projects can leave material that still has to be transported.

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

For appropriate loads, it can help haul:

• Brush and limbs
• Storm debris
• Construction cleanup material
• Dirt
• Gravel
• Landscaping material
• General property debris

The skid steer or excavator can perform much of the loading, reducing the amount of material that has to be handled manually.

Equipment Delivery to Lexington

Cornerstone Equipment Rentals provides jobsite delivery to Lexington and surrounding Oglethorpe County, subject to equipment and delivery availability.

Delivery is particularly useful with larger machines such as our skid steer and excavator because customers don't necessarily need to supply the heavy tow vehicle and equipment trailer required to transport them.

Send us the jobsite location and a description of the project, and we can help determine which machine and attachments fit the work.
