I used to do crap like that when I was younger but not any more. I'm proud I've been successfull enough to pay to have stuff like that done. As Danny Glover said...
Just did mine a couple weekends ago. It sucked, but really only took me about 6 hours by myself.
Mine called for a 21” x 21” pad and I ended up about 52” deep. And I think 14 - 80 lb bags.
I’d imagine any random handy man in the classifieds would get this done.

Assembled it the first, tore it down over winter, reassembled and then said it's getting pitched.
Me and another guy did a neighbor of mines. The other guy had a skid loader with a post hole auger (large one) so he dug the hole and then we tile spaded it to the right size. Got the concrete in and plumbed the base. Once that is done, it’s a cake walk, but if you screw that up, you e screwed the whole thing up. The guy who owned did jack squat, but that was for the best.
It’s a necessity to have a post hole digger. I rented one from the hardware store and made quick work of it when I did mine. This wasn’t a fun project but wasn’t the worst I’ve done by any means.
Goalsetter still the way? Any best time of year to buy one to save money? Replaced the driveway last year and made it 24ft wide, ready for the basketball hoop this year. Looking to get someone to install.
Just put one in last week. Goalsetter had $400-500 off during March Madness but looks like that's gone. Did the install ourselves. The hardest part was making sure the anchor was set just right in the concrete.
It's been 5 years now for mine and it still looks almost like brand new. The only show of wear is some corrosion on the anchor bolts and that's my own fault for nicking it with the mower so the galvanization was compromised.
Absolutely. Sent a crew out to dig hole and pour footing, second crew came out 2 days later and installed hoop. It's perfect. They run annual sales, just keep checking their website.
