Does any one know if it is possible to hire whatever is used to lift turf.

I haven't got any turf yet, just a garden full of tough, but fairly shallow rooted grasses and I thought rather than buy/ hire a rotivator, it would be easier and quicker for me to just have the top stripped off.

Can anyone tell me what the machines are called and what 'hire it' shops come under in the pages jaunes?

Thanks in advance
