Prompt contact and clear discussion lead to a site meeting giving the confidence to proceed immediately. Job done with no fuss. could not have done the work myself due to all the other tools required to do the work, expensive but worth the cost. Bearers were down the next morning...so fast no waiting. Nice people to work with. good decision. Russell Keach Reply: Many thanks Russell and good luck with your deck.

Great service, great communication, great job. Thibaud did a excellent job with our small fence installation, the ground screws are solid. Would definitely recommend to anyone, and will very likely use Grounded NZ again for other projects around our property. Thanks!! Reply: Hi Ben, thank you! You were our last job of the year. Glad that it did the trick for you. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and all our customers in 2023 !

Thibaud was very easy to deal with. He was flexible and obliging with the pick-up and drop-off places and times, and explained the use of the equipment well. It worked well and the screws look as though they should be there for years. It was certainly easier than digging holes and concreting in posts. Reply: Thank you Heather, glad to have been of help.
