- ELEcoFern Landscaping LLCJul 28, 20255.0Great customer service and wide selection of heavy equipment rentals. I have rented Stump grinders, bush, mowers, sod, cutters, trees, etc.. the technicians/mechanics also deserve great praise. Note: they Do also rent small two cycle equipment, such as weed eaters & chainsaws. 👍🏽
- MLMatthew LingJul 22, 20251.0White Ford pickup with the Sunbelt logo stamped all over it and a hat inside being the most unprofessional driver that could represent the company. No regards to others on the road or traffic safety. If you’re willing to drive like this in a company vehicle, I can’t imagine your customer service or product is any better. It’s abundantly clear how you value people. Will not even consider using your services.
- DEDevin EplerJul 14, 20251.0Two stores share the same number but don’t specify what location you have to pick up from! Kinda dumb and a huge waste of my time considering they are 22 minutes away from each other! And then the employee just keeps saying makes sense. It really doesn’t!
