I have a gravel driveway in my front yard that I want to remove to put a garden bed. The gravel is large (1/2" to 1" dia.) and very compacted, so it is nearly impossible to remove by hand.

I want to rent some small power equipment to do the task, but I'm not sure if a skid loader, excavator, or something else is the right tool for the job. Opinions?

Nope, you don't want to remove a stitch of it. What you want to do is take advantage of what you've got & capitalize on the perfect setup for a perfect garden. A Raised Bed Garden on top is what this has been patiently waiting for. The gravel is key to keeping pests at bay & to relieve overwatering. This is why garden centers & nurseries have gravel all over & under...no yucky mud.
