If you’re getting ready to remove grass and sod from a region of your lawn in order to make way for new shrubbery or construction, then you’re going to want to add a sod cutter to your tool arsenal. As your San Jose equipment rental company representative will share with you, the most effective sod cutter for the job is one that has a motor built in. Here are some of the top reasons why you should rent a motorized sod cutter:

Get the Job Done Quicker

Removing turf from your lawn using a manual sod cutter can be back-breaking work as it requires you to cut through the unwanted sod at the correct angle before lifting out small chunks piece by piece. Each area has to be removed in a uniform manner in order to leave behind the cleanest results. With a motorized cutter, however, you can lower the blade of the machine into the ground and go by row, removing strips of sod in a more time-efficient manner.

Take on Larger Projects

When it comes to taking on a large project, there is no substitute for a motorized sod cutter. Instead of sweating and toiling over several square inches and seeing little progress, you can tackle a large chunk of your lawn or the entire area more easily with a motorized sod cutter.

Enjoy Clean Results

In order to remove the turf and leave behind a clean, patch-free ground below, sodding needs to be carefully executed. The ability to achieve the smooth results that you’re aiming for is much easier with a motorized sod cutter from your San Jose tool rental headquarters. Manual cutters are more prone to leaving behind evidence of former lawns, which are unattractive and not conducive to future planting.

Before lighting up the grill this summer, it’s important that you take a few precautionary measures to ensure that you don’t start a fire or injure yourself. To begin with, open the lid of the grill before turning on the propane in order to make sure that gas is not contained once the grill begins to heat up. Once you’ve started the ignition and the burners are warm, assign one or two people to be the masters of the grill. Instruct each of them to monitor the space as they cook, making sure to keep any curious kids or pets at a distance. Keep an eye on the propane grill equipment rental as your party cooks to make sure that the cylinder is not at risk of tipping.

Once the last sausage links and burger patties have been grilled, let the grill cool down slowly before closing the cylinder service valve and switching the knobs to the off position. Continue to be mindful of kids approaching the grill at this time as it will still be hot enough to cause a burn.

Independence Day will be here before you know it, which means that now is the time to get to work on planning your backyard celebrations. The three key ingredients for a successful 4th of July party are planning, preparation, and activities. Feel free to assign duties to guests in the days and weeks ahead of the party, such as purchasing drinks and appetizers or putting together a few kid friendly games for the younger crowd.  

As you will see in this video, one simple strategy for making sure that you purchase all items necessary is to create a shopping list before heading to various stores.
