The guys at Diggermate are a pleasure to deal with. Their level of professionalism is outstanding.
Easy to book, and pickup. Good price and communication. Definitely will be hiring through Diggermate again. 👍
Had a great experience hiring from the Digger mate team. Booking was super easy and they worked with me to accommodate pick up and drop off times. We will definitely use the team again the next time we need to hire a machine.

Tom was prompt, polite and did an excellent job on our back yard. We were very impressed with Ian's communication around our requirements and arrival time. Thanks again!
Absolutely brilliant people to deal with nothing was a problem in arranging a last minute hire for a mini excavator Will be definitely using them again Highly recommended company Cheers
THE BEST thing I have ever done! Had a backyard project that needed excavation. So glad I took the plunge and called… Matt was bloody amazing, patient and showed me how to use the machine (I had no clue) in the end, I got the job done and wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for Matt and the exception service Diggermate provided… I will be back for the compactor to do the next bit. Can’t thank Diggermate enough! Give Matt a call for your project… you won’t regret it :)
