Landscaping preparation

  • Levelling ground before landscaping or a build

For larger levelling and ground preparation, the skid steer with its dozer blade and roller may suit better.

Choosing the right machine

Which excavator goes to your job depends on the access to the site, the working space, the ground conditions, the depth required and which machines are available. The easiest way to get it right is to send a photo of the site and the access, with the gate or gap width measured. We check that against the machine before booking. We will not promise a machine fits until we have the measurements.

Hire questions

How much is it?

It depends on the machine, the hours, the site location and transport. Send the job, the location and the dates and we will quote.

Is an operator included?

Yes. Baletta hires its excavators with an operator. Fuel, minimum hours and transport are confirmed in the quote for each machine.

Will it damage my driveway or paving?

The machines run on rubber tracks. Tell us about the surfaces between the gate and the work area and we will plan the access with you.

How wide does my gate need to be?

It depends on the machine. Send the gate width and a photo of the entrance and we will check it against the machine before we book.

Is transport included?

Transport is quoted as part of each job, based on the machine and the distance.
