Landscaping Equipment and Tools Guide - Top 10 Landscaping Tools

Landscaping is an essential part of maintaining and beautifying your lawn, garden, trees, flower beds, backyard and garden. There are a multitude of tool and equipment options for every application. Choose from the equipment and tools listed below 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 what it would cost you to own it.
		Aerators - 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.
		Backpack Leaf Blowers - Our gas-powered leaf blowers are high powered and perfect for cleanup all year round, especially during the fall time. We rent backpack leaf blowers that are lightweight, quiet and easy to handle with ergonomic designs for comfort. Our fleet of gas powered leaf blowers are perfect for blowing leaves, grass clippings and dirt fromyour job-sites, patios, decks, driveways, sidewalks and gutters.
		Chainsaws - We carry chainsaws for sale or rent in the 20" size class by well known manufacturers such as Husqvarna and STIHL. Our gas chain saws are dependable, easy-to-use, maintain and start. Our chainsaws are perfect for felling, limbing and pruning trees as well as for harvesting firewood. We also sell  chainsaw accessories such as new cutting chains,bars, cases and chain lube/oil to keep your chainsaw in good working order.
		Dethatchers - Rent a lawn dethatcher to help promote a denser, deeper and thicker lawn. Dethatchers help prevent 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 - 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 opens "slits" that are then filled by the new seeds. Best times to overseed are late summer or early fall.
		String Trimmers - String trimmers, also referred to as weed wackers or line trimmers, are essential for areas of tall grass or overgrowth that can'tbe reached with a standard mower, like around trees and flowerbeds. Ourgas string trimmers are ideal for trimming, edging or cutting both commercial and residential landscapes alike. Our string trimmers for rent are powerful, durable and light weight, 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 breaking 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 suchas 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 lawn mower then using a turf rake for dethatching your lawn should be a breeze. You can usea 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.
		Wood Chippers - Our commercial wood chippers are built tough and are perfect for your land-clearing and tree care projects. Our rental fleet consists of chippers designed for maximum efficiency, ease of use and superior operator safety. They can withstand the toughest of environments and are perfect for construction companies and landscape contractors looking to clear areas of small to medium diameter wood and brush.
