A mini digger is a great machine that can be used for many different types of projects around your home. Although they are expensive to buy, you can hire one to use for a day and get all of your projects done in one day. But what sort of projects are made easier by renting a mini digger and is it worth it to hire one? Here are a few ways you can use a mini digger around your garden.
Digging Hole or Trenches
Hole digging is made incredibly easy with a mini digger. They are easy to fit into tight places and allow you to dig with one of the smaller buckets to create a narrow trench or hole. This is perfect if you are needing to install new fence posts or dig a trench for a French drain.
Levelling Out Uneven Ground
Gardens are often uneven and need to be flattened out before you can start working on a project. With a mini digger, you will be able to scrape the dirt down to ensure the property is level. You can also use the weight of the machine to pack down an area that might need to be lowered slightly.
Tearing Down Small Structures
If you have a small shed that needs to be torn down before you can build a new one, a mini digger is the way to go. It won’t be able to tackle larger buildings safely, but it will make short work of smaller structures. Once it is torn down, you can also use the mini digger to remove the debris from the area and then flatten out the surrounding area so that it is ready for your next project.
Removing Stumps
Stumps can be quite difficult to remove by hand. When you have a mini digger, you can easily loosen the soil around the roots and pull the stump out of the ground. Then all that is left to do is to use the mini digger to fill in the hole and pack it down by driving back and forth over top of the loose soil.
One of the best things you can do to get the most mini digger usage for the money it costs to hire one is to plan ahead. If you look around your garden and plan out all of the projects that need to be done, you can see which ones would benefit from the mini digger and plan it out so that you do all of the preparation ahead of time.
That includes emptying out the structure you want to tear down and cutting down the trees that you want to remove the stumps for. Careful planning and preparation will mean that you can cross all of the projects off your list quite quickly once you have the mini digger in your yard.
