Current in-ground basketball goal is broken and wanting to have the goal and concrete removed.

Having trouble finding who can do that.

Recommendations?

It isnt an option to bust up the concrete yourself and remove?

Mandatory OT response.

Get your husband to do it.

Go to Home Depot and buy a shovel and rent a Mexican.

That’s a first world problem right there. If you want a new one, and it broke at the ground level just go a couple feet on either side and put a new one in. I’ll haul the old one to the road for you for $500.

Eventually a hurricane will take it out for free.

How did you make it to adulthood without your dad making you bust up concrete around a post?

Buy an air hammer chisel and break up the concrete and remove from the ground.

Don’t try to pull straight from ground unless you have a farm jack or similar.

Tie the remaining post to the back of your Prius and yank it out. If that doesn’t work, try hitting it with your purse.

You simply find a saw that can cut it at home depot. No big deal. cut it as low as you can and then nip away at it with hammer and screw driver or whatever. Get it just below the surface of the concrete and cover it with a tube of concrete that you also get at home depot. Its a hour job at the most.

You are going to need a few things. First is a dually truck, trailer and a mini excavator. Second is a trailer mounted air compressor and a 90 pound pneumatic hammer, and 50 feet of hose. It ought not cost more than $175K...
