Need ground dug out but don't want to drive the machine yourself? Evergreen Gardeners offer mini digger hire with driver in Guildford and the surrounding area. You get a compact digger and an experienced operator who knows how to work safely in tight gardens and around services, buildings and fences.
Operated hire is often quicker and cheaper overall than self-drive hire. An experienced driver gets more done in a day, digs to the right levels and avoids costly damage to drains, cables and lawns.
What our digger and driver can do
- Excavation for patios, driveways, extensions and garden rooms
- Foundation digging. See our foundations service
- Trenching for drainage, cables, water pipes and ducting. See trenching
- Ground levelling and grading ready for turf or paving
- Soakaway and drainage digs
- Garden and site clearance, including removing old patios, roots and rubble
- Muck-away: we can arrange removal of excavated spoil
Compact machines for tight access
Many gardens in Guildford, Godalming and Woking can only be reached through a side gate or a narrow passage. We use micro and mini diggers that fit through narrow access, with ground protection mats to protect lawns and driveways on the way in.
Half-day and full-day hire
We offer half-day and full-day operated hire, or longer bookings for bigger jobs. Tell us what needs digging, the access width and where the spoil needs to go, and we'll recommend the right machine and give you a price.
We work across Guildford, Godalming, Woking and Cranleigh, plus the villages in between.
Frequently asked questions
What size digger can get into my garden?
Micro diggers can fit through openings of under a metre, and mini diggers through roughly 1.5 metres. Measure the narrowest point of the route and we will recommend a suitable machine.
Is digger hire with a driver cheaper than self-drive?
Often, yes, once you count the time saved. An experienced operator digs faster and more accurately, and you avoid fuel, damage and insurance worries.
Can you take the soil away?
Yes. We can arrange muck-away by grab lorry, skip or tipper depending on the volume and access.
Do you check for underground services?
We ask you about known drains and services, check plans where available and dig carefully around them. We can also arrange a cable scan before digging.
