A spade and a rake only get you so far. Professional gardening equipment from our Melksham depot handles the jobs that hand tools cannot — stripping turf, breaking up clay ground, aerating compacted lawns, preparing seedbeds. If you are searching for gardening equipment hire near me in Melksham, call 01380 828988.
What Gardening Equipment Do You Need?
Turf cutters strip existing grass cleanly for replanting or hard landscaping. Rotavators break up compacted ground for new beds, borders and vegetable plots. On Oxford Clay across Melksham, Trowbridge and Chippenham, the ground is heavy — rotavation before planting gives roots the best chance.
Aerators punch holes through compacted turf to let air, water and nutrients reach the roots. Scarifiers remove thatch and moss. On clay soils, compaction builds up quickly — annual aeration keeps lawns draining and growing. Call 01380 828988 and describe your project.
Gardening Equipment Hire Range
New-build gardens across Trowbridge, Chippenham and Devizes often start as bare clay — Oxford Clay compacted by construction traffic. A rotavator breaks up the surface and works in organic matter. On established gardens across Bath, Corsham and Bradford-on-Avon, annual scarifying removes the moss and thatch that build up on clay soils. The results speak for themselves — a scarified lawn drains better, grows stronger and stays green longer.
The Melksham depot stocks turf cutters, rotavators, aerators, scarifiers and lawn mowers. All machines are petrol-powered and serviced between hires.
Turf cutters produce clean, even strips for relaying or composting. Rotavators come in widths to suit garden borders through to full allotments. Aerators and scarifiers cover standard domestic lawn widths.
Full specifications for the complete gardening equipment range are listed in the Coppard online catalogue.

Frequently Asked Questions — Gardening Equipment Hire
What is the best time to aerate a lawn?
Autumn is ideal — the ground is moist but not waterlogged. On Oxford Clay across Melksham, avoid aerating in winter when the ground is saturated.
Can I rotavate clay soil?
Yes, but timing matters. Rotavate Oxford Clay when it is moist and workable — not saturated and not baked dry. Spring and early autumn are usually the best windows.
Do I need to scarify every year?
Annual scarifying removes thatch and moss that build up on clay soils. One pass in early autumn keeps the lawn draining and growing.
