I recently rented an aerator for my yard and had an easy experience. The rental process online was easy and the employees were welcoming and gave some great tips for using the device before leaving with it. It was easy to use and got the job done quickly. The pickup and drop off process were also easy and painless

Super friendly and very knowledgeable staff. I've rented equipment for several years and many jobs around the house. I've had very little problems, but when I have, they've ALWAYS BEEN MORE THAN FAIR!
