Landscaping is an essential part of maintaining and beautifying your lawn, garden, trees, flower beds, backyard, and garden. There is a multitude of tools and equipment options for every application. Choose from the top 10 landscaping tools we’ve listed for trimming, cutting, edging, weeding, digging, pruning, seeding, chipping, or raking. Remember, if you plan on using it only once or twice per season, as in the case of an overseeder or aerator, you can always rent landscaping equipment for a fraction of what it would cost you to own it.


Aerators

Billy Goat Aerator with Honda 4.0 HP engine

Get your lawn aerator rental from Durante Rentals and help your lawn stay healthy and green. Just like all living things, your lawn needs to breathe in order to grow and prosper. The build-up of lawn thatch makes it difficult for your lawn to receive the oxygen and nutrients it needs. Lawn aerators help reduce lawn thatch by poking holes into or pulling “cores” out of the soil to allow air, water, and fertilizer to permeate the root zone.

Dethatchers

Rent a lawn dethatcher to help promote a denser, deeper, and thicker lawn. Dethatchers help prevents disease and dehydration by allowing water and nutrients to reach the root zone. Our 20″ dethatchers use their sharp metal blades to penetrate the surface and subsurface of your lawn, removing built-up thatch, which is dead organic material like grass, leaves, and roots. The best time to use a dethatcher is early spring and fall.

 

 

Overseeders

Billy Goat Overseeders

Rent a  lawn overseeder and your grass will thank you for making it greener, healthier, thicker and less susceptible to disease, insects, and drought. The function of an overseeder is to seed a new lawn or overseed an existing lawn to help restore bare spots. The sharp blades of the overseeder cut through thatch growth and open “slits” that are then filled by the new seeds. The best times to overseed are late summer or early fall.

 


String Trimmers

Husqvarna hand held string trimmer

String trimmers also referred to as weed wackers or line trimmers, are essential for areas of tall grass or overgrowth that can’t be reached with a standard mower, like around trees and flowerbeds. Our gas string trimmers are ideal for trimming, edging, or cutting both commercial and residential landscapes alike. Our string trimmers for rent are powerful, durable, and lightweight, as well as quiet and easy to use.

 

Stump Grinders

Stump grinders (stump cutters) are ideal for contractors, landscapers, or homeowners looking to remove a dead, unwanted tree stump. Our stump grinders will grind your tree stump down to the roots with smooth precision and accuracy. The cutter wheel rotates 90 degrees and a 47-inch arc allowing it to cut up to 12.5 inches below grade. Our stump grinders have a built-in braking system for added safety.

 


Tillers

Also, referred to as cultivators, gas-powered tillers use metal blades to dig into the ground to perform various garden maintenance such as soil preparation, weeding, and composting. Our commercial-grade tillers are perfect for working existing raised garden or vegetable beds or creating new ones. We carry both 16″ and 9″ tillers, both able to penetrate hard-packed soil, hard clay, or sod at a maximum depth of 10″.

 

 

 

Turf Rakes

If you know how to operate a standard lawnmower then using a turf rake for dethatching your lawn should be a breeze. You can use a normal rake but a gas-powered turf rake will get the job done faster, easier, and more efficiently. Our turf rakes for rent are portable with folding handles for easy transport. Our 20″ wide standard power rakes also come with optional seed and grass collection attachments.
