Q: Can I hire Earthmover Services for less than a full day?
A: Yes, we can schedule you a half a day at $350.00.
Q: Why shouldn't I rent and save money?
A: You may or may not save . . . but with our experience we can usually complete our task in less time and offer you advice on how to do the finish work.Rental rates may give you a machine for a full day but an experienced operator can accomplish in a half day what may take you a full day or more. Remember, when you've done something before it comes out better, easier, and faster. A rental rate for a day may equal our half day rate but it's the completion of your job that counts.
Q: Do you work by the day or by the job?
A: Either . . . small jobs that are simple. We can quote by the day. Larger jobs with intricate work may work better with a job quote. This can work to your advantage because it covers the use of many pieces of equipment and the transport time.Q: Do you do the complete job or just the heavy parts?
A: Both. We can start and complete a job leaving your hands free or you can save money and time by having us do the machine work. i.e. the heavy lifting. I've worked with many homeowners, landscapers, and contractors grading, spreading loam, backfilling leaving them to do the finish work raking, planting, etc. Having done this before, I have some ideas for you.Q: What is your daily rate?
A: Our daily rate for machine operator, and an assistant per day is $600.00 within a 15 mile range. We bill 1 hour travel time leaving you up to 7 hrs for the day. We bill by the day or half day unless job quotes or other arrangements are made prior. Payment is due at the end of the job.
