Frequently Asked Questions
What size excavator do I need for backyard work?
For residential or backyard projects, a mini excavator (1.7–3.5 tonnes) is often the best choice. These compact machines offer great manoeuvrability in tight spaces and are ideal for trenching, digging garden beds, or removing stumps. If you're working on a sloped block or need more reach, a mid-sized excavator might be more suitable. Discuss your project with the hire provider to ensure the right match.
Do I need insurance when hiring an excavator?
While not always legally required, insurance is strongly recommended when hiring an excavator. Some hire companies include basic cover in the hire fee, while others may expect you to organise your own. Make sure you understand what’s covered, including damage, theft, or third-party liability. If you're unsure, speak with the hire provider to confirm insurance requirements before booking.
Can excavators be used for tree stump removal?
Yes, excavators are commonly used to remove tree stumps, especially when paired with the right attachments like a ripper or grab. For stubborn or deep-rooted stumps, a mid-sized excavator can dig around and lift the base more efficiently than manual labour or small machinery. On properties in Pacific Palms where trees are close to structures or fencing, using a skilled operator can help remove the stump without causing damage to surrounding areas. Always check with your hire provider about the best approach and any attachments available for the job.
