Golden and the foothills west of it are rocky, sloped and full of projects that need real equipment. Our Wheat Ridge yard is about 15 minutes down 44th Avenue or I-70 from downtown Golden, Mesa View, Mountain Ridge and the Table Mountain neighborhoods — and we are the natural stop for anyone heading up Highway 6 or Lookout Mountain with a trailer.
What Golden rents
- Rock and slope work: mini excavators with a breaker attachment and 90 lb air breakers for the sandstone that shows up a foot down almost everywhere west of Ford Street; compact track loaders for sloped lots where wheels spin.
- Fencing and defensible space: Rhino post drivers and augers that punch through cobble, the Billy Goat brush mower and chainsaws for fire mitigation, log splitters for the firewood that follows.
- Water and drainage: trenchers for irrigation and drain lines, trash pumps for spring runoff, plate compactors for gravel drives.
- Hauling up the hill: car haulers and equipment trailers with electric brakes for I-70 and Highway 6, enclosed trailers for mountain moves.
Delivery to Golden and the foothills
We deliver to Golden, Pleasant View, Applewood, Genesee, Lookout Mountain and along Highway 93 toward Boulder. Foothill deliveries depend on access — tell us about steep driveways, tight switchbacks and gates when you book so we send the right truck. Delivery is quoted after you place the order; delivery orders need a valid driver’s license at checkout and someone on site to sign.
Golden permits and utilities
Golden and unincorporated Jefferson County both require grading permits for significant earthwork and permits for fences, retaining walls and driveways; foothill properties may also fall under wildfire-mitigation and slope rules. Call 811 at least three business days before trenching or driving posts — and expect rock.
Golden rental FAQ
How far is Crowder Rentals from Golden?
Our yard at 11401 W 44th Ave in Wheat Ridge is about 15 minutes east of downtown Golden via 44th Avenue or I-70 to Ward Road.
Can your equipment handle rocky foothill soil?
Yes — that is what the breaker attachments, 90 lb air breakers and Rhino post drivers are for. If you hit solid sandstone, a mini excavator with a breaker is faster than any hand tool; call and we will match the machine to the job.
Do you deliver to Genesee or Lookout Mountain?
Yes, subject to access. Let us know about steep or narrow driveways when you book.
