Post Hole Digger Toronto?
Hey there! First post. Hmm, and my first post is about a post.
Anyhow, I'm looking for a post hole digger in Toronto. Anyone know of a good digger for downtown Toronto? I'm not looking for cheap, btw. It's just five holes, (I don't do holes,  ), so obviously I'll be paying the minumum charge ($200 or so).Thanks, Enjoy reading this forum. Lots of good people here!

Bob, last year i watched two BIG guys spin around like human helicopters when their auger hit a strong root. Yikes! That was the end of the auger for me. And once I lug it to the job from the rental store, set it up, and lug it back to the rental store, I'm probably using up more time than it's worth. If I had a bunch of holes to dig, I would consider renting a Kubota with an auger for a day. And Stone, I'll do that, thanks! |

Thanks Stone,
I'll called your office and they gave me his number. He came out last week. 6 posts, dug, poured and set, $280. Money well spent. Chris |

Re: Post Hole Digger Toronto?
Hey, Toronto Fence. Just so you know, I have the name Toronto Fence & Deck registered and I first started using that name in 1994. I would appreciate it if you would stop, because, although I don't use it any more, people are still confusing you and me.
I recently had someone call up for a repair on a fence built last year and they insisted I did it ( I didn't). They looked up the name in a 2006 phone book, (where I was still listed as Toronto Fence & Deck )because they had lost their contract. No malice intended, but I was there first. By the way. Welcome to the forum. I have learned a lot from it. Last edited by Stone Mountain; 06-20-2008 at 09:39 AM. |

Re: Post Hole Digger Toronto?
I would dig you holes if you were closer, But From Alabama To The Great White North might increase the fee
 P.S. I know you have had it done already  wish I could get $50 a hole.

I am interested in the guy who dug and set your six posts for $280. Can you get back to me with a phone number? I am seeing minimum charges of $350 and more in Toronto at the moment and I don't want to pay so much for only six posts. Thanks for any help in this matter. Art |

Re: Post Hole Digger Toronto?
Yes, I got a quote for $300 minimum and I'm going with it. Not bad at all. I wouldn't do it myself for that money...not after renting the equipment and slaving away for a full day in this Toronto heat.
