Eric Provience, owner of Pacific Grading & Erosion Control, and his family has been renting from Hawthorne Rentals since his father and uncle started their construction enterprise, Southwestern Equipment, in the late ‘90s. “Our family has maintained a longstanding relationship with Hawthorne Cat and Hawthorne Rentals. Back in the day, our family business probably rented 20 times more equipment from Hawthorne than we do today. We were a large construction firm and although my company is smaller today, we still rent anywhere from nine to 15 machines from Hawthorne Rentals on any given day.”
