Just so you know I have removed the Community page. It was a new feature from my newsletter app and I waited to add it hoping there wouldn’t be issues. But it was causing confusion and members were having trouble accessing it. It was a good idea that just wasn’t working as intended so I shut it down. You can remove the app from your phone. Thanks for your understanding.

When it’s time for dirt work, landscaping, or a weekend project around the house, Zia Equipment Rentals makes it easy. This is one of the few locally owned equipment rental companies in the Las Cruces area—and it shows in the service.

Kevin will talk through your job, help you choose the right Kubota skid steer or mini excavator, and deliver it ready to work. No pressure, no confusion, just clear advice and reliable machines. Their popular Weekend Warrior deal lets you pay for one day and keep the equipment through the weekend.

Fast, friendly, and focused on getting homeowners the right gear the first time. That’s the Zia difference.
