Equipment Rentals in Oxford, GA

Oxford is known for its historic homes, tree-lined streets, wooded properties, and the Oxford College campus, giving property projects here a different character from work on open rural acreage. When you're improving an established property, the job often involves working around existing trees, driveways, structures, utilities, and neighboring properties rather than starting with a completely open site.

Cornerstone Equipment Rentals provides jobsite delivery to Oxford and the surrounding Newton County area for excavation, grading, drainage, property cleanup, driveway work, fencing, and construction projects.

Equipment for Established Properties

Working around an existing home or building requires more planning than simply putting a machine in an open field.

Access width, overhead limbs, underground utilities, landscaping, fences, and nearby structures can all affect how the work should be approached.

Our Kubota SVL65-2 skid steer is useful for projects where you need a versatile machine for moving dirt and gravel, grading, cleanup, or attachment work.

For heavier excavation, our JCB 85Z-1 excavator provides approximately 18,000 pounds of machine with a 36-inch toothed bucket and hydraulic thumb.

Protect the Trees You Intend to Keep

Oxford specifically identifies its forests and trees as important parts of the community, so property improvement doesn't necessarily mean removing everything in the work area.

For selective cleanup, our 72-inch grapple bucket can help collect brush, limbs, and storm debris without treating the entire property as a clearing project.

The excavator's hydraulic thumb provides additional capability when larger logs or heavy material need to be controlled and moved.

This combination can work well for projects such as cleaning wooded property edges, removing storm debris, opening an overgrown section of a lot, or preparing a limited work area while leaving the surrounding property intact.

Grading Without Turning the Whole Yard Into a Jobsite

Some residential projects require moving a surprising amount of material even though the actual work area is relatively small.

Examples include preparing for a detached garage, improving access to a backyard, correcting grade around an outbuilding, spreading gravel, or preparing a limited construction area.

Our 72-inch smooth bucket can handle general dirt and aggregate movement and grading.

The 72-inch toothed bucket provides more aggressive ground engagement when harder material needs to be worked.

Drainage Problems Around Existing Homes

Water problems can be especially frustrating on an established property because the house, driveway, landscaping, and other improvements are already in place.

A low area may hold water. Runoff may cross a driveway. A ditch may no longer drain correctly. Erosion may develop where water is being concentrated.

Our JCB excavator can handle heavier drainage excavation and ditch work.

For appropriate projects requiring a relatively narrow trench, our 48-inch skid steer trencher provides another option.

After the drainage work is complete, the skid steer can move fill or aggregate and help restore the surrounding surface.

A Zero-Tail-Swing Excavator for Tighter Work Areas

Oxford's established properties make one feature of our excavator particularly relevant.

The JCB 85Z-1 is a zero-tail-swing machine, so the rear of the excavator stays approximately within the machine's track width as the upper structure rotates.

That can provide an advantage when working around buildings, fences, driveways, and other obstacles where there isn't unlimited room behind the machine.

Potential uses include:

• Drainage excavation
• General digging
• Site preparation
• Ditch work
• Handling logs
• Moving rocks
• Storm cleanup
• Loading bulky debris

See our excavator rentals and attachments for more information.

Moving Materials Without Carrying Everything by Hand

Property improvements can involve block, landscaping materials, fencing supplies, and other suitable palletized loads.

Our 48-inch pallet forks allow the skid steer to handle appropriate palletized or properly secured materials.

Once the material is placed, the same machine can switch to a bucket or grapple for grading and cleanup.

That versatility can be especially valuable when there isn't room—or need—to bring several different machines onto the property.

Fences, Gates and Other Post-Hole Projects

Our skid steer auger is available for projects requiring repeated post holes.

Available bit sizes include:

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

These provide options for fencing, larger gate posts, signs, and other post-hole applications.

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

Oxford Has Its Own Development Requirements

Oxford is an incorporated city within Newton County and maintains its own planning and zoning process, so customers shouldn't automatically assume that a project follows the same approval process as an unincorporated Newton County property.

For construction or development work within the city, the City of Oxford provides a Development Permit application and instructions along with information through its Planning Commission.

Checking the requirements before scheduling substantial excavation or grading helps prevent losing rental time because a project is waiting for approval.

Hauling Material From a Residential Project

Even a relatively small property improvement can generate a large pile of material once the work begins.

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 transport:

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

Pairing the trailer with the skid steer or excavator can reduce the amount of material that has to be handled manually.

Equipment Delivery to Oxford

Cornerstone Equipment Rentals provides jobsite delivery to Oxford and surrounding Newton County, subject to equipment and delivery availability.

Delivery can be particularly useful for customers renting the skid steer or excavator who don't have the heavy tow vehicle and equipment trailer necessary to transport these machines.
