Post holes

Mike and his team were a pleasure to work with. Final price as quoted. Some trickier posts were no problem for them to dig and set. In total they completed over 25 posts for our fence.

I would highly recommend this company.

Hard working, honest, personable. Cant say enough positive things.

One thing to remember is if difficult terrain, stone/hard clay, tree roots or other obstacles are encountered, then obviously the initial price quoted will increase as the job requires significant more time and manual labour if the machine cant be used.

This is reasonable and cant be foreseen.

Post holes digging for backyard deck

This company is very questionable and I would strongly recommend against acquiring any services from them. I had hired them to dig multiple post holes for a deck project for my existing home. While we had sent a complete set of pictures of the job location and surroundings and agreed on a price in advance of the job, when they arrived and after they began work, they knocked on the front door and said the price is doubled without any reasons beyond it's hard work. Then they pressured us to make a decision on the spot, and we agreed as we didn't know what else to do. After they left, the city inspector informed us that the job was insufficient and we had to hire a different company to finish the job, paying even more ultimately although less than this first time.

Not as advertised

I hired this company to come by and put up about 13 fence posts, they came and said they couldn’t do the job because I needed to remove some asphalt on my neighbours driveway. I asked how much needed to be removed and he said 1 foot around the needed area, it seemed like alot so I removed 8”. It turned out to be way to much, thanks guys. Then the job started and it turned out to be a mess every pole is a different distance. When I asked why, he said you have to pay extra for that even though he never mentioned it. A hole had to be dig by hand and said it would be 200 dollars extra. When the bill was being settled he tried to charge me 300 dollars for the first visit, even though nobody mentioned a word about this. Pole hole diggers had horrible costumer service and terrible communication, I would never recommend anyone using this company. P.S beware of hidden costs.

Hi Dylan,
Thank you for your review I understand your frustration with the cost of the work. However we do explain in our confirmation email that all our prices are just estimates and the pricing will be reviewed once the crew lead gets onsite and assess the site. We phone you the first time to let you know our crew was coming out to do the work and you had nothing ready for him to start. In our confirmation email we let you know that the pricing is not firm until we start the work because every job site is different and the grounds can change in certain areas which effects the amount of work needed. We try our best to keep all our customers happy and we do not obligate them to do the work with us once we change the pricing which is why we do not take any payment until the job is completed. Should you wish to discuss this further I would be happy to help.
Thank you,
The Post Hole Diggers Team

Fantastic experience with Micky and his team

The office staff was very easy to communicate with and let me know everything I would need for the job. They showed up on time and worked with me to fix a few small problems on site. It started to pour and rather than pack it in, they waited out the rain and finished the job same day. The posts were done well and the cleanup was excellent. Overall a great experience and I would highly reccommend.

Deck footing

They dug and installed fence posts and four deck footings in July 2016. The fence posts held out fine but my deck posts sunk and my deck was uneven. Had to spend a full day with a friend to even up the deck and put in a couple more supports next to the ones that sank.
He must have not used enough cement or did not dig below the frost line. In any case he did a bad job,

Post Holes for Fence and Deck

I contacted the company and received prompt responses to all my questions followed by a detailed quote. The company called me the day before to ensure I was all set and Mike called about 30 minutes prior to arriving. Once the crew was on site they got to work. The guys were awesome, personable and a joy to have there. My 3yr old son was fascinated by the auger and Mike was great at talking to him and offering to show him the machine. Fantastic experience beginning to end and the crew took the time to ensure everything was plum and straight, including switching out poles they thought wouldn't look good in the end product. I can't say enough good things about Mike and the boys. I'll definitely call them again! All the best and thanks for the work!

Basketball pole

This company was great to work with. Booking was made quickly by phone and email. They were very organized with preparing me with what I needed prior to the job. Mike and crew were very friendly, came on time, and did the job exactly as requested at the agreed price.

I highly recommend this company and their service.

Post Review

I was glad, to find someone, to dig my post's. The receptionist, who took my order, was great. She agreed to dig 4 feet deep. But when the guys, came to do the work, they where unprofessional, he didn't want to dig 4 feet deep. he checked his phone, and the receptionist at head office, texted him to dig 4 feet deep. They left the dirt, from the holes, all over my neighbors property. When i asked, if they would clean up, after them self's, I got a rude NO. They never even gave me, a receipt. I will not be using this company again.
