Excavator and operator rental starts at $1,200 for up to an eight-hour day.

Why Choose VividPro
An experienced operator reads a yard before the bucket ever touches dirt — where water already wants to go, where a root system will fight back, how close is really safe to a foundation wall or a buried line. That means fewer surprises and a job that gets done efficiently instead of turning into a slow, expensive guessing game. It also means work close to a house, fence line, or existing landscaping without turning the whole yard into a construction zone. If the project uncovers more to do, our crew also handles basement waterproofing, drywall, and painting — one point of contact from excavation to finish.

Excavator Rental FAQs
Do I need to operate the machine myself?
No. This is an excavator paired with an experienced operator, not a bare equipment rental. You get the machine and 30 years of hands-on experience running it.
How much does excavator rental cost in Schenectady?
Rental starts at $1,200 for up to an eight-hour day. Final cost depends on scope, transportation, disposal needs, and site conditions.
Can you work close to my house or existing landscaping?
Yes — an experienced operator can work precisely near a foundation, fence line, or landscaping without tearing up the rest of the yard.
Do you work with contractors, not just homeowners?
Yes. Plumbers, landscapers, builders, and property managers use this service for a piece of a bigger job without hiring on a full excavation crew.
