When a Mini Skid Steer Helps With a Cleanup

A small machine can save a lot of back-and-forth when there’s a big brush pile or material spread across a property. Before we bring it, we look at the route in, the surface it will travel on and where the material needs to go.

What the machine can help with

A mini skid steer can move loose brush, suitable debris and some landscape materials across a property. The right attachment and approach depend on what’s there. If you want grading as well as hauling, describe each as a separate part of the job.

Look at the gate and the ground

Photograph the access from the street or driveway all the way to the work area. If it’s safe to do so, measure the clear opening at gates. Mention slopes, soft ground, irrigation, pavers, overhead obstructions and anything you want protected.

Show us what needs moving

A wide photo tells us how spread out the work is. Close photos show whether the pile is brush, soil, rubble or mixed material. Mark anything that stays and tell us where the truck or trailer can load.

Let us match the equipment to the site

Some jobs are better suited to hand loading, especially when there’s little room to turn or a surface needs extra care. Send Garbage Kings your photos and dimensions so we can discuss the approach and scope.
