Once order is placed there are a few things that will happen.
- Miss dig will be called to locate any underground utilities. Each utility company is responsible for locating their own, so you may see multiple people out. It is very common to have under ground utilities out near the road’s edge and it’s just smart to call. There is a 4 day waiting period to allow for Miss dig. If 4 days is to long to wait we have temporary mailbox post that we loan out to customers. Miss Dig is a free service.
- Day of installation a installer will call, and confirm appointment.
- Upon arrival installer will talk with you about location of your new mail post. We hear all the time about mailbox posts getting taken out because of snow plows and what not, sometimes we can move location a few feet and solve the issue of being hit.
- The old post will be removed. If the old post has been set in concrete we will cut post off as low as we can and cover with dirt.
- Post will be installed using 21aa gravel. Which is a paver base type gravel that allows for drainage yet hold posts very tight once compacted. On top of the post hole around the base of the post a decorative gravel is used for looks, fast drainage and a buffer area for string trimmers.
- The mailbox is then installed with address stickers on the door. Nail on address numbers are available for the sides of the post.
- All trash will be taken away and discarded.
- Payment is due. We accept Cash, Check on the day of install. Credit card may be used prior installation.
