- 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.
- AWAngela WilsonJun 12, 20232.0Rented a brush cutter and the belt was off the pulley. I asked them 3 separate times to check the equipment was in good working order. I brought it back to the shop and they "fixed" it. One pass at the jobsite and the belt came off again. They refunded my money when I finally returned it.
