Many of us dream of a garden sculpted to perfection, be it perfectly flat, adorned with perfectly shaped flower beds and devoid of tree stumps. Or rather than flat, perhaps you’d prefer a garden marked by gentle slopes leading down to an alluring little pond. What puts off many people, however, is the effort involved, with the thought of backbreaking labour putting them off. This is a great shame, as transforming your lawn into the garden of your dreams doesn’t have to be backbreaking or laborious. Far from it, in fact. Hiring in a mini-digger is an affordable, efficient and surprisingly fast step to achieving that flawless garden you desire.

Mini-Diggers are compact and easy to store
You’d be surprised at just how compact and inobtrusive mini-diggers can be. You can hire micro-excavators as small as 840mm wide. Indeed, they’re no more obtrusive than your average car, smaller in some cases.
Breaking ground made simple; no need to put your back out
Even creating flower beds can involve back-straining work when manually digging through the topsoil. And it only gets worse when you hit hard rock. Mini-diggers can transform this process for you, simply sit back and let the machine take the strain. Naturally, you may not want to outlay tonnes of cash for a one-off job, but there’s no need to when you avail of a plant equipment hire service such as that offered by Power Plant. Simply hire a mini-digger for the duration needed, be it a day, week or month, and hand it back when your garden renovation is complete. It couldn’t be simpler, and your back will thank you for it.
Tree stump removal made easy
One of the (often literal) stumbling blocks to a smooth garden renovation is pesky tree stumps. It’s sometimes the case that cutting down the main tree is easier than removing the stump. Removing the stump is an at best arduous, at worst impossible, process when you attempt it by hand. It’s one of the many areas of garden renovation where hiring in a mini-digger can come into its own.

Add fence poll posts
Digging holes for fence polls by hand can be straining and tedious. By hiring a mini-digger, you can dig out your fence posts in minutes, saving time and your back.
Create your dream pond by hiring a mini-digger
There’s nothing like a pond to add interest to a garden renovation. However, what puts many off is the process of digging out the pond itself. As with other areas of garden renovation, digging out the soil and bedrock for a pond can be tough on the body, not to mention time-consuming. However, hiring in a mini-digger makes this all a doddle. A process that might take all day by hand can be done as quickly as 30 minutes when you have a mini-digger do the work. With cost-effective plant hire rates available, added to preventing strain on your back, not to mention time savings, hiring a mini-digger in is simply a no-brainer.
Levelling and grading
Levelling out a garden may seem like an overwhelming prospect, but when you hire a mini-digger, it’s a piece of cake. Even if you’re not doing this gardening levelling work yourself, you’ll save time and manpower by hiring in a mini-digger. You can also smooth it out to your desire in ways that manual labour simply can’t.
Slope modification
Just as mini-diggers make levelling a garden effortless, they also come into their own should you wish to modify slopes in your garden (or even create one).

As you can see, hiring in mini-excavators is a surefire way to get that perfect garden you’ve been promising yourself without breaking your back or your bank—we have very affordable hire rates. It can even work out cheaper than hiring a team of manual labourers to dig out your garden.
