Help wanted this weekend, someone in Parkville Area with truck/van

R81 · May 21, 2015

I want to try aerating my lawn. I am looking for someone this weekend in the Parkville area with a truck or van. The plan would be to meet at the Joppa Road Home Depot Tool Rental, pick up the aerator, and return with it 3 hours later. The basic help I need is 1) your truck 2) loading and unloading the gas powered aerator (a 2 person job) and 3) possible advice or assistance,since I am not familiar with how it works. Payment is $60. PM me if interested and when you are available.

Sorry it just popped in my head and was a shameless hilarious bump.

Home Depot will give you a run down of how to use it.

Also, YouTube search the implement you are renting in advance. It will be great hands on training without chewing up your time on the clock.

And speaking of clock, three hours is not much time. Either schmooze the worker and see if 4 hours would still be three hours ... or rent it for the day.

I say this all as I just slice seeded my yard. Granted I do at least two passes on most.. but travel time and time spent working.... three hours aint much.

Good luck. I hope you have some follow up to the aerating?

Can't you rent a truck from home depot of something like $40?

It's bit late for aerating in the spring. Wait for the end of September. Some grasses like Spring Aeration but it should have been done around first mowing.

If you are dead set on it. Talk to some neighbors. I did my lawn and so did 3 of my neighbors. We rented the machine for a day and helped each other out. We saved a lot of money over renting the machine individually.

Good luck.

not sure where you live, but check out capital rentals (www.capitalrentals.com) or other equipment rental companies who will rent and also deliver/pickup aerators. or rent a home depot truck.

It was. And swatting your nose with a rolled up newspaper was a little over the top.

Responses that could have been used:

-Nothing suspicious about it.... It's just aeration.
-Really/Seriously?
-Work with me here, I really do need some help....
-So when can I expect you?

Oh well. Feel free to be a prankster on my threads. I won't mind. :rolleyes:
