Jamie, from Deadset Digging, confidently took on the very challenging job of filling in our pool. Our above ground pool was installed in-ground more than 20 years ago in the top corner of our steep backyard. Jamie and his team worked tirelessly over 3 solid days to professionally complete the job before the forecasted storm and heavy rain. The photos below don’t really show the work involved. Thank you Jamie. We can now turn the area into a wonderful toddler play area.
Jamie and his crew completed the filing in of my pool in just the one day. I can commend the crew for their professionalism, attention to detail and respect for my property.
Jamie was absolutely fantastic. Good communication and easy to speak to. He was accommodating to changes out of our control and completed the job early and at a better price. Would definitely recommend Deadset digging to anyone looking for earthworks without the hassle. Thank you Jamie great job.
Jamie was very easy to deal with. He provided his expert advice and multiple quotes to help us decide exactly what we required for our yard. The retaining wall he built was amazing & we couldn’t be happier. Would happily recommend his work!
I had Deadset digging do some work in my backyard and had a great experience. Their quote was very competitive and included all expenses so there were no unexpected additions. They completed the work quickly and to a high standard. If you need some work done definitely give Jamie and the team a call I recommend them highly. We would 100% use them again.
Jamie of Deadset Digging undertook a significant earthmoving, levelling and retaining project on our property recently. During the estimation and planning process he provided us with clarity and advice where required; whilst at the same time allowing some elements of the project to remain flexible until a final decision was required. The project was delivered on time and within the agreed budget, and we are exceptionally pleased with final outcome, which has added significant value to our property. I have recommended Jamie to my parents and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others.
Jamie did an exceptional job with our retaining wall we couldn’t recommend him enough. He was great to communicate with, always on time and very reliable. We couldn’t be happier! 100% would be happy to have him help us out again!
