Post Hole Digging in Elgin, Oxford & Norfolk Counties
Fences, decks, signs, mailboxes, and light posts all start with the same thing: a clean, accurate hole in the ground. We bring the equipment to your site and dig to spec so your project starts on solid footing. Whether you're a homeowner replacing a fence line or a contractor who needs 50 holes drilled by end of day, we handle the digging so you can focus on the build.
What's included
- Post holes drilled to your specified depth and diameter
- Equipment for standard soil, clay, and rocky ground conditions
- Clean spoil removal or on-site grading of excess material
- Holes spaced and aligned to your layout or fence plan
- Access to tight residential lots and larger rural properties
- Same-day or next-day availability for most jobs
How it works
We bring a skid steer-mounted auger or a standalone hydraulic auger depending on the job. Standard hole sizes range from 6 to 12 inches in diameter and 36 to 48 inches deep, but we adjust to your specs.
For fence lines, we mark and space the holes before drilling. For decks and structural posts, we follow your contractor's footing plan. If you're not sure what size or depth you need, we'll advise based on the post type and local frost depth requirements.
Rocky ground, clay, or root-heavy soil slows hand digging to a crawl. Our equipment handles those conditions in a fraction of the time.
Common uses
- Fence posts (wood, vinyl, chain link)
- Deck and pergola footings
- Sign posts and mailbox installations
- Light post and flag pole bases
- Tree planting pits for large stock
- Agricultural fence lines and gate posts
Pricing
Post hole pricing depends on the number of holes, depth, diameter, and ground conditions. Most residential fence jobs fall into a straightforward per-hole rate. Contact us for a quote specific to your project.
