From Sod Cutters to Stump Grinders: Landscaping Tools You Don’t Need to Own

You’ve got big plans for your yard this season—maybe it’s time to tear up that tired patch of grass, dig in some new garden beds, or finally tackle that stubborn tree stump that’s been in your way for years. Whatever your project, you probably don’t have the exact tool for the job sitting in your garage—and that’s perfectly okay.

At Lawrence Tool Rental, we make it easy to access high-quality landscaping equipment for short-term use. No need to buy and store bulky machines you’ll rarely use. When you rent, you get the right tool without the long-term hassle.

Remove Grass with a Sod Cutter

Removing grass by hand might sound manageable… until you’re halfway through your yard with an aching back and blistered hands. A sod cutter is designed for this task—cleanly slicing beneath the grass so you can peel it up in neat strips. Whether you’re preparing for a patio, a garden, or new sod installation, renting a sod cutter for the day will save hours of work. Unless you’re constantly redoing your lawn, this is one tool that makes more sense to rent than to own.

Stump Grinders

Tree stumps are more than just annoying—they attract pests, get in the way of mowing, and take up space you could be using. But removing a stump isn’t a DIY job you can handle with just an axe. A stump grinder will do in minutes what might take you days without it. It’s heavy-duty equipment that most people won’t use more than once or twice, which makes it a perfect rental choice.

Tools You’ll Only Use Once—But Really Need

Landscaping often calls for very specific equipment that you’re unlikely to use again any time soon. That’s where renting is the smart option. Some of our most frequently rented landscaping tools include:

  • Lawn aerators, which open compacted soil and allow your grass to breathe and grow stronger.
  • Rototillers, ideal for prepping gardens or laying down new seed beds.
  • Trenchers, which cut deep, clean lines for laying cables, pipes, or edging.

Each of these tools does a very specific job, and they do it well—but they’re bulky and costly to own. Renting gives you the benefit of top-tier tools, without the burden of storage or upkeep.

Let the Project Dictate the Tools

One of the most common mistakes we see with outdoor projects is people trying to “make do” with the wrong tool just because it’s what they already have. Not only does that make the job harder, but it can also cause damage—to your equipment, your yard, or even yourself.

When you rent from Lawrence Tool Rental, you’re getting more than just tools. You’re getting guidance from people who know the equipment, can answer your questions, and want to make sure you finish your project safely and efficiently.
