Equipment Rentals in Union Point, GA

Union Point gives us a different type of service area than the lake-oriented parts of Greene County. The city sits in northeastern Greene County, where in-town properties transition quickly into rural roads, wooded tracts, farms, and larger parcels. The US 278 corridor between Greensboro and Union Point is also an important part of this side of the county.

For equipment renters, that creates a mix of projects ranging from residential cleanup and property improvements to rural driveway work, excavation, drainage, clearing, and site preparation.

Cornerstone Equipment Rentals provides jobsite delivery to Union Point, Georgia, from our Madison location.

In-Town Projects and Rural Acreage Require Different Tools

A small property inside Union Point may need equipment for removing debris, correcting drainage, landscaping, or preparing for an improvement. Drive a short distance outside town and the job may involve a long gravel drive, wooded acreage, fencing, or land maintenance.

Instead of treating those as the same type of project, start with what actually needs to be accomplished.

For loading, grading, gravel, and attachment work, our Kubota SVL65-2 skid steer is generally the more versatile machine.

For deeper digging, larger logs, rocks, drainage excavation, and heavier land work, our JCB 85Z-1 excavator provides considerably more excavation and material-handling capability.

Cleaning Up and Reclaiming Property

Older or previously neglected properties can accumulate more than grass and weeds. Fallen limbs, brush piles, discarded material, storm debris, and overgrown edges can turn usable ground into an area that's difficult to maintain.

Our 72-inch grapple bucket gives the skid steer the ability to grab brush and irregular debris rather than simply pushing it into another pile.

The skid steer can then switch to a bucket for grading and cleanup once the larger debris is removed.

For heavier logs, rocks, and bulky material, the excavator's hydraulic thumb provides another option.

Excavation and Drainage Work

Water can create problems on both residential and rural properties.

Poor drainage may leave standing water around a yard, wash gravel from a driveway, erode access areas, or repeatedly damage the same section of property.

Our JCB 85Z-1 excavator is an approximately 18,000-pound zero-tail-swing excavator equipped with a 36-inch toothed bucket and hydraulic thumb.

Potential uses include:

Drainage excavation
Ditch work
General digging
Site preparation
Handling logs and rocks
Storm cleanup
Wooded-property maintenance
Loading bulky debris

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

Underground utilities should always be properly located before digging or trenching.

Gravel Drives and Rural Access Roads

Outside the denser parts of Union Point, longer gravel drives and private access roads create another common equipment job.

Heavy rain and traffic can produce:

Washouts
Potholes
Ruts
Low areas
Gravel pushed toward the shoulders
Erosion along the roadway

The skid steer can recover and redistribute existing gravel, move new aggregate, fill damaged areas, and reshape the surface.

If the damage keeps returning because of runoff, addressing the drainage first may save repeated driveway repairs later.

Property Improvements Along a Changing Corridor

Northeastern Greene County is not completely static. Current county planning identifies the Union Point area and the US 278 corridor between Union Point and Greensboro as locations where additional development interest is expected.

That means some equipment needs in the area involve more than traditional farm and acreage maintenance. Contractors and property owners may also need equipment for site preparation, grading, material movement, construction cleanup, and access improvements.

Projects inside Union Point city limits have their own local jurisdiction. Greene County directs property owners within Union Point to the city for applicable inspections and permitting. Customers planning construction or substantial site work can use the City of Union Point as a starting point.

For projects elsewhere in Greene County, Greene County Building & Zoning provides county permitting and zoning information.

Moving Material Around a Jobsite

Not every equipment job involves digging.

Construction materials, landscaping supplies, pallets, and other heavy items may need to be moved around a property before or during a project.

Our 48-inch pallet forks allow the skid steer to handle appropriate palletized loads.

Once those materials are placed, the same machine can switch back to a bucket, grapple, auger, or trencher and continue working.

Fence and Gate Projects Outside Town

On larger properties surrounding Union Point, fencing can turn into a substantial project.

Our skid steer auger can be paired with:

That provides options for different fence posts, larger gate posts, signs, and other repeated post-hole work.

After the holes are finished, the skid steer can switch attachments and move posts, gravel, dirt, or other materials needed for the project.

Site Cleanup Without Unloading Everything by Hand

A clearing, construction, or property-reclamation project can generate a large amount of material that needs to leave the site.

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

For appropriate loads, it can be useful for:

Property debris
Brush and limbs
Storm cleanup
Dirt
Gravel
Landscaping materials
Construction cleanup material

Using the skid steer or excavator to load the trailer and hydraulic power to dump it can eliminate a large portion of the manual handling involved in cleanup.

See our trailer rentals for current information.

Delivery From Madison to Union Point

Union Point is east of Madison and gives us another service area along the Greene County side of our market.

Cornerstone Equipment Rentals provides jobsite delivery to Union Point and surrounding Greene County properties, subject to equipment and delivery availability.

Delivery is particularly useful for the skid steer and excavator because customers don't necessarily need to own the heavy truck and equipment trailer required to transport the machines.

Send us the jobsite location and tell us what you're working on, and we can determine the appropriate equipment and delivery options.

Rent for the Project, Not Just the Machine

A property cleanup may start with the excavator handling logs and heavy material, move to the skid steer and grapple for brush, and finish with a bucket for grading.

A driveway project may require drainage work first and gravel work afterward.

A construction project may need pallet forks for materials one day and a bucket for cleanup the next.

That's why attachment selection matters almost as much as machine selection.
