Trencher Rental on the Olympic Peninsula
Cutting in utilities, irrigation, or drainage? Rent a walk-behind or ride-on trencher from Northern Equipment Rental & Supply and dig clean, consistent trenches across Kitsap County and the Olympic Peninsula.
Trencher Rentals for Utility, Irrigation & Drainage Work
When you need a straight, uniform trench — for water and sewer lines, electrical conduit, irrigation, drain tile, or landscape edging — a trencher does in minutes what takes hours by hand. Northern Equipment Rental & Supply stocks walk-behind and ride-on trenchers sized for everything from backyard sprinkler runs to long utility pulls, available by the day, week, or month.
Our trenchers are serviced and ready to dig, with sharp chains and clean hydraulics so you spend your time cutting, not troubleshooting. Tell us your trench depth, length, and soil conditions, and we will help you pick the right machine — then check live availability and reserve it online.

Trencher Rental FAQs
What’s the difference between a walk-behind and a ride-on trencher?
Walk-behind trenchers are compact and easy to maneuver in tight yards — ideal for irrigation, drainage, and short utility runs. Ride-on trenchers dig deeper and faster over longer distances, which suits larger utility, septic, and site-work jobs. Not sure which you need? Tell us the depth and length and we will recommend one.
How deep can a rental trencher dig?
Depth depends on the machine and chain. Our walk-behind trenchers handle shallow-to-moderate depths for irrigation and cable, while ride-on units cut deeper for utility and drainage lines. Let us know your target depth and we will match the right configuration.
Do I need a license or special training to rent a trencher?
No special license is required for most trenchers, but they are powerful machines — we will go over safe operation at pickup or delivery. Always call 811 to locate underground utilities before you dig.
Can you deliver a trencher to my site?
Yes. We deliver and pick up trenchers across Kitsap County and the Olympic Peninsula from our Poulsbo yard. Delivery and pickup fees are based on distance and we will quote them up front.
