FAQ

What is the minimum?

One 8-hour day with operator: machine $550, operator $350, diesel $50, plus $250 transport on day 1 only. Day 1 is $1,200. Each extra day is $950, no transport.

Who runs the machine?

We do. The operator comes with it. This is a wet lease, not a bare rental.

Do you pull permits or set pipe?

No. Your licensed trades set pipe or conduit and pull permits. Utility locates are yours, or quoted.

Fuel, access, private utilities?

Diesel for the 8-hour day is its own $50 line. You provide safe access and a place to unload. Mark irrigation, septic, private gas, electric, and low-voltage. We are not responsible for unmarked lines. Track marks on lawns are part of the job.

Damage?

Unmarked or undisclosed utilities are on the customer. The operator can stop work if the ground is unsafe. Normal rutting is expected.

Weather and cancel

Free cancel or reschedule until 48 hours before delivery. Inside 48 hours we keep the $250 transport fee. Once dispatched, the first day is non-refundable. If weather stops delivery, we reschedule free. If weather stops work before 2 hours, that day moves at no charge.
