DIY Yard Renovations: Lawn Tools That Make It Easier

Thinking about giving your yard a much-needed refresh? Whether you’re planning a total landscape overhaul or simply want to clean things up and add new features, having the right lawn tools can make all the difference. And the best part? You don’t have to buy expensive equipment for a weekend project. At Lawrence Tool Rental, we offer high-quality tools and machines that help DIYers get professional results—without the professional price tag.

Let’s look at some of the top rental tools that can make your next outdoor project easier, faster, and more efficient.

Start Fresh with the Right Ground Prep Tools

Sod Cutters – Want to replace that tired-looking grass? A sod cutter makes removing your old lawn fast and efficient. Instead of hours of shoveling, just slice, roll, and lift. It’s the ideal first step when laying sod, creating garden beds, or installing new patios.

Rototillers – Healthy soil is the key to a thriving lawn or garden. Rototillers break up hard, compacted ground so you can mix in compost, peat moss, or fertilizer. They’re essential for prepping flower beds, veggie patches, or replanting lawn areas.

Move Heavy Materials Without Breaking a Sweat

Skid Steers & Mini Loaders – Moving dirt, mulch, gravel, or stone by hand can be exhausting. Skid steers and compact loaders do the heavy lifting for you—literally. These powerful machines are perfect for grading, leveling, and hauling, and we have a range of sizes to fit both big and small yards.

Level and Finish Like a Pro

Lawn Rollers – If you’re laying down new seed or sod, a lawn roller helps you achieve firm soil contact so roots can establish quickly. It also gives your lawn that smooth, polished look—especially after a big renovation.

Plate Compactors – Installing pavers or building a patio? You’ll want to use a plate compactor to create a solid base. Without it, you risk your pavers shifting or sinking over time. Rent one to lock everything in place from the ground up.

Keep Overgrowth and Debris Under Control

Brush Cutters – For yards with dense overgrowth, a brush cutter makes quick work of thick weeds, tall grass, and brambles. It’s the perfect cleanup tool before starting any major landscaping work.

Dethatchers – Give your lawn a health boost by removing layers of thatch with a dethatcher. This improves water and nutrient absorption, allowing your grass to grow fuller and greener.

Make Fence and Post Installation Easier

Post Hole Diggers & Augers – If your renovation includes building a fence, setting up a pergola, or installing posts, digging by hand is rough. A powered post hole digger or auger slice through tough soil quickly and with minimal effort—saving you time and energy.

Why Rent Instead of Buy?

Most yard tools used for renovation projects only come out once or twice a year. Buying and storing them doesn’t make sense for many homeowners or casual DIYers. That’s where Lawrence Tool Rental comes in.

We offer:

  • Top-tier equipment that’s always ready to work
  • Expert staff to help you choose the right tools
  • Flexible rental options that fit your schedule and budget
  • A convenient location to serve your needs
