Hire Or Buy. How Renting Landscaping Equipment Could Save You A Packet

In times of financial uncertainty, business decisions become a wee bit more tricky.  Borrowing money to upgrade equipment is a case in point.  Interest rates are not looking too pretty at the moment. At the same time, for some landscapers, the type of project on offer has changed. Meaning that there will inevitably be a tighter margin between what you pay for a machine (buying price + loan interest) and how much it earns you in return.  Remember too, that those machines will also need to be stored, maintained, insured and transported to and from jobs. For some items of equipment, It’s actually more cost effective to hire a machine as and when you need it, than it is to make the investment to buy your own. 

With frequently used, less costly items such as table saws, grout cleaners and power tools, you can be reasonably sure they’ll earn their keep.  After all, there are not many jobs where you won’t be needing their services. The only time you may need to hire smaller pieces of equipment is if something breaks and you need a replacement super-fast, or if  you'll probably not use the equipment more than once or twice a year.

For larger or more specialised machines - excavators, chipper shredders, scissor lifts and hydraulic post hole borers, it makes more sense to hire than to buy.

Machinery Hire For Self Builders

Whilst landscapers will expect to spread machinery costs over several projects, self builders may only need a piece of equipment for a matter of days.  Why go to all the trouble and expense of researching, buying and selling landscaping equipment, if you can hire it instead?

When you hire landscaping equipment from Arbour Landscape Solutions we will seek out the best prices for you, deliver the machinery to site and collect it again once you’ve finished with it.  Our experts can even advise you on the the best machines for your project and where to buy consumables such as Diamond blades and core drill bits.

Some Of The Benefits Of Renting Landscaping Equipment

•  Cost savings: Hiring landscaping machinery can save you money in the long run. If you only need the equipment for a short period of time, it's more cost-effective to rent it instead of buying it.  
•  Flexibility: Hiring landscaping machinery gives you the flexibility to use it when you need it and return it when you're done. This can be helpful if you have a sudden need for equipment or if you only need it for a specific project.
•  Less maintenance: Hiring landscaping machinery means that you don't have to worry about servicing it. The equipment rental company will take care of all of that for you. Although, you will of course be expected to return the machine in good order.
•  Less storage: Hiring landscaping machinery means that you don't have to worry about storing it between projects. The equipment rental company will take care of that for you as well. And in turn, that means you could spend less on hiring and securing a yard or lock-up.
•  Try before you buy: Not sure if a particular machine will be right for your business? Renting it can be a way to try it out before you commit to buying it.

If you're looking for a cost-effective and flexible way to get the landscaping machinery you need, hiring is a great option.
