When the snow melts and the ground dries out, the project list comes alive. Spring and summer are prime time for property improvements across Georgina, Durham Region, Simcoe, Kawartha Lakes, and York Region — and the right equipment turns weeks of backbreaking work into a weekend or two. This guide runs through the most popular warm-season property projects and the Kubota machine that makes each one easy.
Most property projects only come around once in a while, so buying a machine rarely makes sense. Renting gives you the right tool for the job, exactly when you need it, without the cost, storage, and maintenance of ownership. And because Titanium Equipment Group delivers across the region, the machine shows up ready to work — no trailer required. Just be sure to book ahead, because spring and summer are the busiest seasons.
Spring is when uneven, soggy, or tired yards get fixed. Whether you are levelling a lawn, regrading for drainage, or reshaping the property, you need a machine that can move and smooth soil.
The Kubota SVL75-3 compact track loader (around 74 hp, from $350/day) is the all-around champion for grading and material handling, with tracks that float over soft spring ground. For larger lots and acreage, the Kubota LX2620 compact tractor (from $300/day) covers ground efficiently. For lighter jobs, the Kubota BX23s (from $200/day) is a budget-friendly choice.
Spring and summer are ideal for building or refreshing a gravel driveway or parking pad. After a winter of freeze-thaw, many rural driveways need regrading and topping up.
Spring melt reveals every drainage problem on a property. Now is the time to fix the soggy spots before they ruin your summer.
A Kubota U17 mini excavator (around 1.7 tonnes, from $250/day) is ideal for digging French drains and trenches, and it fits through gates as narrow as about three feet to reach backyards. For longer or deeper runs, step up to the Kubota U35 compact excavator (around 3.7 tonnes, from $350/day). The SVL75-3 track loader moves stone and backfill across soft ground without bogging down.
Summer is building season, and most decks, sheds, and outbuildings start with footings or a level pad. The Kubota U17 mini excavator handles deck footings and small foundations in tight spaces, while the Kubota U35 tackles larger footings and pads. Use the SVL75-3 track loader to level and prep the site.
Clearing out old stumps, overgrown brush, and dead trees opens up a property for new uses. The Kubota U35 compact excavator has the power to dig out most stumps, with the U17 handling smaller ones in tight spots. The Kubota SVL75-3 track loader knocks down and piles brush and moves debris.
Dreaming of a backyard pond, a new garden bed dug deep, or running services to an outbuilding? Warm, dry months are the time to dig. The Kubota U35 compact excavator is the workhorse for bigger digs, while the SVL75-3 handles the material moving and shaping that follows.
