Property Cleanup Equipment Rentals for Storms, Projects, and Seasonal Yard Work

Property Cleanup Equipment Rentals for Storms, Projects, and Seasonal Yard Work

Rent the right chainsaws, chippers, stump grinders, and hauling gear from local providers, without buying equipment you'll use once or twice a year.

Storm damage, overgrown brush, and post-renovation debris all demand equipment most homeowners don't own. Renting property cleanup equipment gets you a working chainsaw, wood chipper, or skid steer for the day or the week, then it goes back to the shop. Rntr connects you with local providers who have the tools ready when you need them, with delivery or pickup options and daily or weekly rates that make sense for a one-time job.

Property Cleanup Equipment Rental Questions

How much does it cost to rent a wood chipper for storm cleanup?
Wood chipper rentals typically run $150 to $350 per day depending on the intake diameter and horsepower. Larger units built for storm-scale limb and brush volume, like this 12-inch brush chipper, rent for more than smaller consumer-grade models but process debris much faster.
Do I need a truck or trailer to haul rental equipment?
It depends on the item. Compact power tools usually fit in a car or pickup bed, but stump grinders, skid steers, and larger chippers require a trailer. Many listings include a trailer with the equipment, such as this stump grinder with trailer, or you can rent a separate skid steer trailer if the provider doesn't bundle one.
Can rental companies deliver equipment to my property after a storm?
Many providers offer delivery, especially for heavier gear like skid steers and stump grinders that aren't easy to transport yourself. Delivery fees vary by distance and equipment size, and availability can tighten during widespread storm events, so it helps to book as soon as you know what you need.
What size deposit should I expect for equipment rentals?
Deposits generally range from $50 for hand tools and pressure washers up to several hundred dollars for skid steers, stump grinders, and other heavy equipment. Some providers hold a credit card authorization instead of a cash deposit. Deposit amounts are listed on each rental page before you book.
How long can I rent a stump grinder or chainsaw?
Most providers offer daily, multi-day, and weekly rates. A single stump or a weekend of fallen limbs usually only needs a one or two day rental. Larger cleanup jobs, like clearing brush across a whole lot with a hydraulic stump grinder with trailer, often make more sense at a weekly rate.
Is a skid steer rental better than renting individual attachments?
If you already own or can access a skid steer, renting just the attachment, like a brush cutter skid steer attachment, is cheaper. If you don't have a machine, renting a skid steer with the attachment already mounted, such as this Toro Dingo mini skid with stump grinder, saves you the hassle of matching hydraulics and mounts yourself.
Do I need experience to operate cleanup equipment like a skid steer?
Chainsaws, pressure washers, and hand tools require basic caution but no certification. Skid steers and stump grinders take more skill to operate safely, especially on uneven or storm-damaged ground. If you're new to the equipment, ask the provider for a quick orientation at pickup or delivery, most are happy to walk through controls and safety points before you start.

Storm Damage Cleanup: Chainsaws, Chippers, and Stump Grinders

Fallen limbs, split trunks, and stumps left behind after a storm need equipment sized to the job, not a single homeowner-grade tool. A chainsaw handles the initial cutting, but the real time savings come from processing debris on site instead of hauling whole branches to the curb. Renting a 12-inch brush chipper turns a truckload of limbs into a manageable pile of mulch in a fraction of the time hand-cutting would take.

Stumps are the other half of storm recovery. A hydraulic stump grinder chews through root balls that would otherwise sit in the yard for years. Providers rent grinders sized from small walk-behind units to towable models like this 24hp Toro stump grinder, which needs a trailer for transport but clears larger stumps faster. Daily rental rates for stump grinders typically run $200 to $400, with weekly rates offering savings if you're working through multiple trees on a property.

Brush Clearing and Land Reclamation Equipment

Overgrown lots, fence lines choked with brush, and abandoned garden beds call for cutting power beyond what a homeowner mower or string trimmer can deliver. Skid steer attachments built specifically for brush clearing, like a brush cutter skid steer attachment or a heavier-duty bush hog style brush cutter, shred saplings and thick undergrowth in passes that would take days with hand tools.

For properties with dense woody growth or the need to reshape terrain while clearing, a mower-style attachment such as the skid steer brush mower and tree terminator handles small trees along with brush. Once material is cut, a brush rake grapple attachment makes quick work of piling debris for chipping or hauling. Rental rates for skid steer attachments generally run $150 to $300 per day, on top of the skid steer rental itself if you don't already have the base machine.

Pressure Washing for Post-Storm and Seasonal Cleanup

Silt, mud, algae, and storm debris residue build up fast on siding, decks, driveways, and patios. A pressure washer gets surfaces back to clean without scrubbing by hand. Electric models like a 1500 PSI electric pressure washer work well for decks, siding, and outdoor furniture, while gas-powered units such as a 1500 PSI gas pressure washer handle larger driveways and concrete without needing an outlet nearby.

For heavier grime, oil stains, or commercial-grade jobs, a higher-output unit like a 4 GPM 4000 PSI pressure washer strips buildup that lower-pressure units can't touch, and it comes with the hose and wand included so there's nothing extra to source. If you're cleaning concrete specifically, a pressure washer attachment with a concrete brush covers more surface area per pass than a standard nozzle. Daily rates for pressure washers range from $40 for electric models to $90 or more for high-GPM gas units.

Hauling Debris: Trailers and Skid Steers

Cut brush, broken branches, and old fencing don't clear themselves off the property. A utility trailer, whether rented separately or bundled with equipment like a stump grinder and trailer combo, lets you move loads to a dump site or curb pickup point in fewer trips than a pickup bed alone.

For larger properties or commercial cleanup jobs, a skid steer does double duty: clearing brush with an attachment, then switching to a bucket to load debris directly into a trailer or dumpster. A dedicated skid steer trailer makes it possible to bring the machine to the property yourself if the provider doesn't offer delivery. Trailer rentals typically run $50 to $100 per day depending on size and towing capacity required.
