Gardening Equipment Available to Hire
Our gardening equipment range covers the machines most commonly needed for lawn renovation, landscape preparation and ground care. All machines are maintained, fuelled where applicable and ready to use on collection.
Turf cutters remove an even layer of turf and topsoil for lawn lifting, path edging or clearing an area for hard landscaping. Rotavators break up and aerate compacted soil ahead of seeding or planting. Aerators and scarifiers are used for lawn renovation — aerating compacted soil allows water and nutrients to penetrate, while scarifying removes the thatch layer that blocks moisture from reaching the roots.
Matching the Machine to Your Project
For new lawn installation, the sequence is typically rotavation to break up existing soil, raking and levelling, then seeding or turfing. For an existing lawn in poor condition, scarification and aeration are the priority before overseeding.
Surrey gardens on Weald Clay compact heavily after wet winters — hand cultivation produces poor results on compacted clay, while a rotavator or aerator breaks up the surface layer and improves drainage. Call 01883 743 322 and describe your project. We will confirm the best machine.

Frequently Asked Questions — Gardening Equipment Hire
Can I collect a rotavator in a car?
Most petrol rotavators fit in the boot of a large estate car or SUV with the rear seats folded. For heavier machines, a small van or trailer is recommended. Call 01883 743 322 before collection to confirm the dimensions.
When is the best time to scarify and aerate a lawn in Surrey?
Early autumn (September to October) is the optimum window for lawn renovation. The soil is still warm enough for overseeding to establish before winter. Spring (March to April) is the second-best window. Avoid scarifying in summer drought or frozen ground.
How deep does a turf cutter cut?
Most turf cutters cut to approximately 25 to 40mm, removing the grass and a shallow layer of topsoil. Adjust the depth to match the turf thickness — cutting too deep wastes topsoil, cutting too shallow leaves roots that reshoot.
Should I hire a scarifier, lawn aerator or rotavator?
A scarifier is useful for removing moss and thatch from a lawn, while an aerator helps relieve compacted soil and improve the movement of air, water and nutrients around the roots. A rotavator is designed for breaking up and cultivating bare soil before planting or laying turf, rather than treating an established lawn. The Royal Horticultural Society provides practical guidance on scarifying and caring for lawns. Tell Coppard’s Godstone team whether you are restoring a lawn, preparing soil or tackling compaction, along with the approximate size of the area, and they can recommend the most suitable gardening equipment for the job.
Do I need experience to use a rotavator?
Rotavators are designed for general use and do not require formal training. They can be physically demanding on compacted or stony ground. Our team will demonstrate the controls at handover.
