Lake lots call for a small machine
Lots around Smith Lake tend to be steep, rocky and hard to get into. A compact excavator walks down a narrow path, works on a slope with care and digs without tearing up the whole hillside. The right small machine does in a weekend what a crew with hand tools does in a week.
Picking the right size
- Mini excavators — for lake lots, backyards, drainage, trenching and work close to structures.
- Mid-size and full-size excavators — for ponds, basements, land clearing and moving large amounts of dirt and rock.
Much of Cullman County has rock close to the surface. Tell us what you are digging, how deep and what the ground is like, and we will help you pick the machine, bucket and whether a thumb will help.
Delivered to your site
We deliver across Cullman County — Cullman, Good Hope, Hanceville, Vinemont, Baileyton, Holly Pond, Fairview, West Point, Garden City and the Smith Lake area. Out here a mini excavator still needs a truck and trailer that can pull it, so most customers have us drop it at the gate. Call and reserve so it is there when you are ready. Every excavator leaves serviced and ready to work, and we will walk you through the controls before it goes out.

Excavators rent by the day, the week or the four-week month, and the rate is the same for contractors and homeowners.

Common questions from Cullman customers
Will you deliver an excavator to Smith Lake?
Yes. Tell us about access to the lot when you call so we can plan the drop.
Can farmers and homeowners rent, or is it contractors only?
Anyone can rent, at the same rate.
Do I need to call before I dig?
Yes. Call 811 before any digging so buried lines get marked. It is free, and Alabama law requires it.
